Since the
winning combination of Susan Tedeschi and the Derek Trucks Band formed in
2010, they have helped carry the torch for classic southern soul/rock
music. Both Tedeschi and Trucks are well educated in blues and both
certainly know there way around a guitar. After three award-winning
studio albums and one live album, the Tedeschi Trucks Band (TTB) are
preparing to release their second live album titled "Live From The Fox
Oakland." It
will available on March 17th through Fantasy Records and will be
presented in a 2CD/Blu-ray or DVD format, featuring the first official
full-length concert video from the band.
The show
was recorded on September 9, 2016 with the entire 12-piece Tedeschi
Trucks Band along with a couple of special guests. The set list from that
evening featured a mix of originals and covers that have made the TTB
one of the biggest draws on the concert circuit. The show was filmed
with 12 cameras and mixed by Bob Ludwig on a vintage Neve counsel to
give the music that extra warm appeal.
In
between some of the songs, the film breaks away from the show to give
fans a behind the scenes look at the band. It features interview footage
of Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi discussing the workings of the band
and about the songs they choose to perform together. After an amazing
10-minute version of "Keep On Growing," the band dives into a couple of
cover songs featuring the work of Leonard Cohen ("Bird On A Wire") and
George Harrison ("Within You Without You"). Sarod artist, Alam Khan
joins the TTB for an interesting version of "These Walls," before Trucks
explodes during his solo of "I Want More," which includes segments of
Santana's "Soul Sacrifice." It's tough to include all the great moments
of this show as you will surely be hooked after having watched this
video of their live performance. They close the show with a stellar
performance of "Let Me Get By," then former Black Crowes singer Chris
Robinson joins the band for cover of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going
Nowhere" during a dressing room jam.
The
Tedeschi Trucks Band "Live From The Fox Oakland" will be released as a
special edition 2CD/Blu-ray or DVD set, as well as on vinyl and as a
stand-alone CD, Blu-ray or DVD. The TTB will be following the release of
their new live album with a string of shows in Europe, before returning
to the U.S. for their summer "Wheels Of Soul Tour." For a complete list
