Customer Reviews Good CD but not great It just doesn't grab my interest. The first cd is a bit to slow for me. I'm not really a big fan of acoustic guitar. I think Susan Tedeschi, Cry of Love & Govt Mule really make this CD what it is. Oh, and if you're a Derek Trucks fan, (I'm not) then you'll like it better then I do. If not for the great jams from Govt Mule, I'd have givin this CD 3 1/2 stars. . Over 2 hours of great music Side 1 is highlighted by a lengthy set from Derek Trucks, his band, his future wife Susan Tedeschi and their work is excellent. Recorded around the holidays in 1999 and produced by Warren Haynes, there's some fine jams here. Side 2 is highlighted by a Gov't Mule set and with Little Milton, Derek, Susan, Johnny Neel, Jimmy Herring and others all adding to the songs. The finale is a lengthy "Merry Christmas Baby" with Little Milton, Haynes, and Tedeschi sharing vocals and Haynes, Trucks, and Herring on guitars. If you are a fan of the Allman Brothers, may of these names will be familiar to you. There's alot of talent on display here. warren haynes and some more so really there are lots of good musicians playing here, but when you here warren' s guitar, you can watch the sky becoming clear. well, if you enjoyed gov't mule or haynes' solo recordings, you can put this double cd just beside them. a special mention should go to derek trucks, who is playing really good, but i prefer to listen to him playing with allman bros. band. a cd to mention to your friends loving rockblues. .
