"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band

Excellent CD by Derek Trucks, quite possibly his best. Btw, Derek produced this CD himself, and sound quality is definely a "cut above" most commercial CDs. Also, Best Buys has this CD on sale for $9.99 and it includes 3 bonus tracks.

In addition, this recording is also available in vinyl (but not at Best Buys).

Cleanedup, This is why I spin vinyl. It can capture both. If you read that review you posted, it describes the "muddyness" I hear. These two artists have moved WAY up my 'must see live' short list. Susan was on Leno Tues, and I was waiting for my local record shop to open the next morning! They only had the CDs. I will buy both LPs and report back.

Heard the album last night. I'd call it Allman Brothers 3.0. not lite. I heard the original Allmans. Duane was unique. Their music was groundbreaking at the time. Overall I prefer the new, updated version (Allman 2.0) . Too me, Already Free sounds like an evolution of the theme. Like the more blues/RB feeling than the eastern stuff on Songlines. Though I LOVE Crow Jane and Chevrolet
Just my opinion

Although this new DT album is pretty good, both my wife and I prefer tha last one "Songlines" overall. I think it's the variety on that one that just hits a chord.

Plus his playing on the new one seems a bit aimless, even though the songs themselves are pretty good. He's just ploinking away behind the music in many places.
