Word. The early Muscle Shoals tracks (with Bob Burns/Rickey Medlocke drumming) have great guitar tones. I think they went back and redid/cleaned up some things for actual release, but the original recordings on, "First (and Last)", are prolly my faves. "...Bullets" and, "Street Survivors", are killer, too.
I dig LS, but like a lot of classic rock, a little goes a long way these days:
Dude: "Ay, man. Who DOESN'T love me some, 'Freebird?'
Bro: "Ah, I reckon. Sounds great the first 50,000 times, at least."
