Songlines Live is the seventh album and second commercially released live recording and first DVD by American jam band The Derek Trucks Band, released in 2006 (see 2006 in music). It was recorded at the Park West in Chicago, Illinois.^[1][2]

Reception

In a review for All About Jazz Doug Collette stated that, on the DVD, the band "demonstrates what a wide vocabulary they possess, musically and intellectually, and how articulate they are in its use." He commented: "their stage presence is the natural theatre of serious musicians, intent on playing together in a way that maximizes the rapport they've built up over the years... it's clear they love to listen and watch one another, feeding ideas back and forth to enliven they playing."^[3]
