Over two April nights in Chicago, The Derek Trucks Band took the stage at Park West to perform in front of raucous sold-out crowds. Fans were eager to hear the new material off the band’s just-released Already Free, and the band was happy to be on the road once again, doing what they love and playing music for the mind, body and spirit.

These two shows quickly became legendary amongst fans and the band, alike. Now, with the release of the live double CD Roadsongs, the legend can only grow.

Roadsongs is a document of a band at its collective musical peak. Mixing fresh material from Already Free, such as a rollicking run through “Get What You Deserve,” a soul-drenched version of “I Know,” and a powerful take on Bob Dylan’s “Down In The Flood,” with classic dTb originals like “I’ll Find My Way,” Roadsongs captures dTb as they reached new heights on-stage. An awe-inspiring 14-minute workout on John Coltrane’s “Afro Blue,” and the first officially-released version of dTb live staple “Get Out My Life Woman” (with a Jimi Hendrix “Who Knows” interlude in the middle) elevate Roadsongs into the stratosphere.

On June 22, Roadsongs will be released to the general public, and we’ve heard your voices, so this time around, there will be no bonus content offered elsewhere. Order here and you’ll get all the music, 2 CDs and 14 tunes carefully selected by Derek and the band coming to you soon!

Can’t wait til June? We have you covered: you can preorder Roadsongs starting today, and anyone who preorders the album will receive an instant mp3 download of the album’s first song, “I’ll Find My Way.” Also, all preorders will also have a chance to win a very special prize: an autographed, used-in-concert Derek Trucks bottleneck slide! We’ll be putting the slides into preorder shipments at random, so be sure to preorder today for your chance to win one. If you place your preorder before June 10, your copy of Roadsongs will arrive on or before the official release date!

Not only that, preorders will receive a very special gift… A dTb Roadsongs air freshener for your car! That way, when you listen to Roadsongs while cruising the open road, you’ll get to enjoy the great smell of dTb along with their great sound! There’s only a limited number of air fresheners being made, so act fast before they’re gone…

Finally, we’re pleased to announce the release of the official Already Free guitar tablature book, from Cherry Lane Music Publishing! For the first time, fans can enjoy professional-quality transcriptions of all of the songs from Already Free. If you preorder your copy of Roadsongs along with a copy of the Already Free tab book, Derek Trucks will hand-sign your book. But remember, the preorder period ends June 21, so be sure to get yours while you can to enjoy the instant mp3 download, the limited edition dTb air freshener, and the Derek Trucks-signed guitar tab book.
