 Wanee Update
We are happy to announce that the Allman Brothers Band Wanee CDs are in stock! Sorry for the delay on these, but they are well worth waiting for to say the least. From the scalding versions of "Walk On Gilded Splinters" and "Black Hearted Woman" from the 4/16 show (click here to order) to the astonishing "Midnight Rider>Mountain Jam>Dazed and Confused>Mountain Jam" encore at the 4/17 show (click here to order), this whole weekend showed the ABB hittin' the note as only they can!
We have shipped out all pre-orders at this point, starting with the folks who ordered the shows at the HTN booth at Wanee. By now, many of you are already enjoying the sublime sounds of a true high point for the current ABB lineup. If you were waiting until we had these in stock before ordering, now is the time! Trust us, you want to hear this.
And of course, we also have both Widespread Panic shows from Wanee, as well as the deluxe Suwannee Special package, which comes with both Panic shows, both ABB shows, and a copy of the Wanee program (while supplies last). Click here to order the Suwannee Special, or click here to order the Panic shows separately.
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.
If you haven't already ordered, what are you waiting for? Click here to check out this landmark album, and get ready to be blown away!

 South by Southwest 2010: 1,900 Bands, 60 Venues -
Recession? What recession? With 1,900 bands and 60 venues, this year's South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival in Austin, TX [March 17-21] was bigger - and I'd even say - better than ever. Lots of improvements, like shuttle vans from outlying hotels to downtown Austin, were made to accommodate the growing Australian, Canadian and European crowds at SxSW. Blues and roots-rock highlights included performances Friday night with Jimmie Vaughan and his band and Buddy Miller at the Cedar Street Courtyard and Alejandro Escovedo's closing show Sunday night at Continental Club with New Jersey natives Lenny Kaye, Steve Conte and others.
