Red Dog Benefit Concert
 The benefit concert for legendary ABB roadie Joseph "Red Dog" Campbell in Macon at the Cox Capitol Theater on August 14th was a big success! The Tommy Talton Band, Davin McCoy and the Coming Attractions, and the Almost Brothers Band provided incredible music. The event was pretty spectacular already, but the addition of special guests Randall Bramblett and former Allman Brother Chuck Leavell took the evening up a notch and made it a show people will be talking about for years to come.
Many thousands of dollars were raised for Red Dog's medical treatment. He can still use your help, though. Check out our New Stuff page for t-shirts and posters from the event, and check back in a week or so for a download of some of the highlights from the evenings performances!
Last but not least, Hittin' the Note is proud to announce that Red Dog's Book of Tails is now back in print! This long out-of-print classic, written in Red Dog's inimitable style, recounts his adventures with the ABB and shows that along with his many other talents, Joseph "Red Dog" Campbell has a unique knack for telling a story.

The Derek Trucks Band - Roadsongs
In Stock and Shipping Now!
 The Derek Trucks Band's spectacular new double live CD Roadsongs is a remarkable artistic statement by the DTB, and whether it ends up being their swan song, or just the end of one chapter, it will surely loom large in the band's history. Augmented by a tight horn section, Roadsongs features thoughtful horn arrangements by Mace Hibbard that enhance the music without even sounding cluttered or getting in the way of what the core band is laying down.
And lay it down they do! The rhythm section of Yonrico Scott, Todd Smallie and Count M'butu keep the groove in the pocket at all times, Kofi Burbridge is nothing less than a genius on both flute and keys, and Mike Mattison's soulful wail has never sounded more urgent and piercing. This is a Grammy-winning band with Grammy-winning talent, and they show it over and over again on Roadsongs.
As for the man of the hour, Derek Trucks, it's hard to find new words to express our awe at the level of artistic achievement he reaches on this release. The radiant tone, unique phrasing and endless musical imagination that have made him the guitar hero of his generation are all on display here, and he has never sounded better.
