NotesVinyl LP pressing. Highly anticipated 2015 debut album from Fort Worth, TX native Leon Bridges. Coming Home was produced by Austin Jenkins and Josh Block of White Denim. Bridges began writing and performing 1950s and '60s style soul music that was described by Austin 360 as "a transmission straight from the heart." He began to attract followers and his break in the music industry is attributed to a run in he had at a bar with White Denim guitarist Austin Jenkins. The duo discussed clothing at the bar and a few weeks later Jenkins and bandmate Joshua Block ran into Bridges during a performance in north Texas. It was the performance of his original song "Coming Home" that caught the attention of Block and Jenkins. This debut includes that track and nine other originals.

Great record for a great price plus you get a digital download so it's worth every penny.

Still listening, but so far...nah
The song that made me purchase this is "River." Deeply soulful and with an old sound. I'm not so convinced by the rest of the album yet, but even more concerning is the quality of the pressing. I'm not sure how it sounds on CD, but this vinyl is lacking. Listening to an Etta James repress sounds like it was recorded on newer equipment than this 2015 release. Were they going for old style AND old advancements in hi-fi? It's a disappointing listen on any decent stereo system. If you want new talent with an old sound on vinyl, try Black Pumas instead. Still, River is a standout track.

Inconsistent recording
Recorded in two different studios....the first 4 songs are much more live sounding...and the remainder is a studio sound. The 2nd half sounds significantly better. In my opinion, this ruins the record.
