Title: A Stunning Work of Art
Product review: I'm a big fan of the early Allman Brothers stuff and saw Derek perform with them a few times years ago when he was just a kid. Although he was pretty awesome even back then it seemed a bit gimmicky trotting the 13 year old out on stage. Anyway, having really not kept up with the Allmans or Derek in recent years, I was completely blown away after buying this release on a whim after reading a couple of reviews.If you like the Allman Brothers, Santana through about 1977 with maybe a little Headhunters-era Herbie Hancock thrown in, then you will love this album! While vocalist Mike Mattison belts it out impressively on many of the tracks, the real focus here is on the musicianship. I don't know if I've ever heard slide guitar playing this good and the other band members are no slouches, either. This album is just an impressive creation and I was very moved listening to it, something I relish even more in that it was so unexpected.
