"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band

I bought this and the new Tedeschi yesterday. CDs. I thought the sound was not too good but the songs are great. They both sounded like they were recorded/produced in in-home studios, which they were. I will try Back to the River on vinyl...

Well, maybe a little better overall, but I prefer the vocal treatment on Susan's. Same studio, same recording/mixing gear, same computer station. Really very similar sound. I would love to see either live, since fans will likely get both artists for the price of one! The sound quality does not keep me from listening!

Any chance the Best Buy Special sounds better than the 12 track version?

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.
