Eric Krasno Releases Santana & Allman Brothers-Inspired Single Featuring Derek Trucks

Soulive and Lettuce guitarist Eric Krasno, who is celebrating a birthday today, will soon release a new solo album Blood From A Stone on July 8 via his Feel Music Group/Round Hill label. Today, Guitar World has premiered a track from the LP inspired by Santana and featuring contributions from fellow guitar master Derek Trucks.

While Blood From A Stone is Kraz’s first album to feature his own vocals, “Curse Lifter” is the LP’s lone instrumental track. “‘Curse Lifter’ is an homage to Santana, the Allman Brothers Band and some of the bands I grew up listening to,” Krasno told Guitar World. “I’ve always loved guitar harmonies when they’re done the right way. After we recorded the rhythm tracks and listened back, I knew it would be great to have Derek Trucks play on it. We recorded at his studio and just mic’d up two amps in the live room and went for it.”
