Trucks monster j.if'; -- I Derek Trucks Band snows .v serious growin on new fr s Alan Sculley SPECIAL TO THE DAILY . " HERALD In African-America- Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi doing the current CD, the Derek Band not only came with what many fans will see as the group's best album. The group and guitarist Derek Trucks himself got a new outlook on the entire process of making a CD. "It's definitely a serious growth for the band and for me personally," Trucks said of the "Songlines" project. "It was the best I've felt about any studio experience and ft realty changed the way I thought about making records in the future." Trucks and his wife, Susan Tedeschi, will be performing together, along with the Derek Trucks Band and others, Sunday at Red Butte Gardens. In a recent phone interview, Trucks said making "Songlines" taught him that the studio should be a playground for experimenting with sonics, overdubbing and recording technology, and there's no reason a studio version of a song can't evolve during the course of being recorded and offer something different than the way the songs will be presented live. "We play so much and we record our shows live enough thatt that side of the band is captured and documented," Trucks said. "When we go in the studio we don't really have to try to recreate what we do at a show. We try to make albums, make records. The records that I come back to and listen to after years and years of listening to them, whether it's a great early Stevie Wonder record or some of those great Jimi Hen-dri- x records, there's just so much going on, just so many layers, that the more you listen to it, you find new things all the time. It's amazing sonically. You can hide a lot of stuff on a record that you just wont hear on the first few jIf you go When: Sunday at 7 p.m. f; Tickets are $1 between 10 5 p.m. and $5 after 5 p.m. All activities will take place at the Gallivan Center, 239 S.

This spirit of discovery felt during the "Songlines" sessions by Trucks and his bandmates singer Mike Mattison, bassist Todd Smallie, drummer Yonrico Scott and keyboardistflautist Kofi Burbridge comes after listens. It's fascinating. the group already had built up a considerable amount of studio "It doing 'Songlines' is the first time I think we've been experience. comfortable as a group to do that Trucks, who also plays guitar and not worry about how are we in the Allman Brothers Band and Lofce. is the nephew of Allman Broth- ers drummer Butch Trucks, formed his band a decade ago when he was just 16. By that time, Trucks had already been playing professionally for five years, proving himself to have exceptional talent as a guitarist. With Smallie, Scott and keyboardist Bill McKay rounding out the early lineup, the Derek Trucks Band began touring, and in fall 1996 recorded its self titled debut CD. The group has been touring and recording steadily since, releasing three more studio records "Out of the Madness" (1998), "Joyful Noise" (2002) and "Soul Serenade" (2003) plus a two-Clive concert release, "Live at Georgia Theatre," in 2004. Along the way, the band has had a couple of key personnel changes, with Burbridge replacing McKay in 1999, and Mattison signing on as lead vocalist in 2002 a move that transformed the Derek Trucks Band from a primarily instrumental group to one that now makes songs with vocals the backbone of its repertoire. The growth the band has experienced is also translating to the i live setting, where the band has been hitting i new peak during recent stints of touring. One of tthe band's shows, from Chicago's I West in January 2006, was Park recently released on the DVD, "Songlines Live." "It's the most complete it's ever felt, for sure," Trucks said of the live shows. "We've been together for 11 years, somewhere in there. There are a lot of peaks and valleys, a lot of times where, you know, we play so much, you're bound to hit a few walls musically here and there. But I really feel this is one of those times when it's really on the move again." Weekly charts for the nation's recorded music as they appear in next week's issue of Billboard magazine.
