Bummed they won't be at Wanne, but maybe I'll manage to catch them at Vibes (or hopefully another mini Beacon run). Psyched for another album.

"It's really a band record this time," Trucks says, adding that Bramhall was "thrown into the mix quite a bit" during the sessions.

Ugh, I hope not. He's a solid guitarist, but he added nothing to DTB's Already Free album. I find him super boring.

isn't that the one DTB won a Grammy for. I think he may have collaborated more than we know with Derek. He seems to be a great musician...at least Clapton & Waters thought so. Sometimes those background musicians have a lot more influence than we'll ever know here on the outside.

TTB's Revelator won a Grammy, not sure if dTb's Already Free won anything - not that Grammys are the measure of quality music. I'm sure he knows his stuff and is talented (his dad was a bandmate of SRV and others), I just can't say I'm a fan. Anytime he sings on Already Free comes I can't skip skip fast enough - his voice is really underwhelming to me, he's like a dull John Mayer to me. "Our Love" and "Maybe This Time" both put me to sleep and it's all his voice, especially "Maybe This Time" - there are times he sounds like he's never sung before. That song sounds stuck in the mud to me whenever he starts singing. I don't mean to rag on the guy, just personal taste - everyone has those musicians that just don't click.

Already Free won a Grammy..

k,I get it. Sometimes there's just musicians or actors that we dislike. There's some I feel that way...David LEE Roth for one. But yeh,DTB did win a Grammy for that...the 'only' Grammy they won,but it was their final album,so who knows where they would have gone.

It sounds like TTB's going to mix it up a lot more this album too...could get interesting.

Looking forward to it.
Made Up Mind was clearly a leap forward from Revalator (although I like Revalator too), and they've been growing since

Nice interview / cover pic of Derek in a local / CT freebie music mag called SOUNDS also.
