Scrapomatic Album release
|
|
Be sure to get to the Soul Stew shows early this summer, you do not want to miss Mike Mattison and Paul Olsen's Scrapomatic. They will be opening for Soul Stew on the upcoming tour in support of their new album Sidewalk Ceasars due out June 24. Sidewalk Caesars is another powerful release by the dynamic duo, this time supported by a full band including Dave Yoke on guitar, Ted Pecchio on bass and Tyler Greenwell on drums. Derek joined in the fun too, adding guitar to two tracks on the album, as well as a guest performance from DTB Count M Butu on percussion.
Our friends at Hittin the Note are now offering presale copies of Sidewalk Caesars. Everyone who orders during the presale will receive an autographed copy of the CD and be entered to win 2 prizes: 1st prize - free tickets to a Scrapomatic/Soul Stew Revival show of your choice (subject to availability) including a meet and greet with Scrapomatic; 2nd prize- a framed hand written lyric sheet for an original Scrapomatic song. Here is what HTN Allison Hersch had to say about Sidewalk Caesars "On Sidewalk Caesars, Scrapomatic much-anticipated follow-up to 2006 Alligator Love Cry, this talented duo perfects a lean, mean sound born of the blues, nurtured by American roots music and given shape by Mattison soulful growl and Olsen propulsive guitar... Whether their delivery is rough or smooth, Scrapomatic unbridled passion for music is positively contagious and guaranteed to have you tapping your toe and singing along in no time. As Sidewalk Caesars demonstrates clearly, for Scrapomatic, the third time really is the charm"
Go to Hittinthenote.com to order your copy of Scrapomatic's Sidewalk Caesars now!

“His electric slide work in Songlines...is so human and stabbing it is more like amplified breath”
- Rolling Stone (3.5 out of 5 stars)
“Songlines is a gift from the gods”
-Harp
"Three things worth knowing about Derek Trucks: He is young, he is a veteran, and he is
the most awe-inspiring electric slide guitar player performing today."
-Wall Street Journal March 2006
"Still three years shy of 30, Trucks just might be this generation's greatest
rock guitarist, a player of distinct tastefulness and ravenous musical
appetite."
-USA Today February 2006
"[Songlines] is a deep-rooted, globe -spanning tasting menu of styles....Trucks solos with the authority of a big-lunged saxophone colossus."
-Richard Gehr, Guitar World, February 2006
"It is a delicious pleasure to hear Derek Trucks play the guitar on "Songlines."
-New York Times February 2006
“Young guitar guru makes jam record of the year – already! Here he comes into his own, uncorking his eruptive, lava-lamp slide guitar on a set that interprets Delta blues and Pakistani Qawwali with equal authority.
-Will Hermes, Blender, March 2006
