Pop/Rock - At the young age of 29, Derek Trucks is already a lot of things: already married (to the talented singer-songerwriter Susan Tedeschi), already a member of the Allman Brothers Band for longer than Duane Allman and Dickey Betts combined (he joined at age 20), already chosen as one of Rolling Stone's Greatest Guitarists Of All Time (24 when the list was published, he was the youngest player on it) and as one of the magazine's "New Guitar Gods." He has dazzled Clapton, toured the world, been nominated for a Grammy, and assembled one of the tightest groups in rock to help him continue to write his own legend. Already Free is the next chapter in that story, in which our hero asserts his independence from the pressure of expectations. Having exceeded expectations time and again, Trucks and his band no longer need to prove anything to anyone: they simply close their eyes and let it rip, and out comes an another awesome album, as accomplished as it is effortless.
