Bonus Track: Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi

Send us a text

For more than a decade now, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi have been building up an incredible body of work with Tedeschi Trucks Band.  "America's best rock 'n' roll big band" is how Trucks himself described the touring and recording behemoth that has developed organically across the past decade.

The pair detail I Am the Moon, the group's newest project, during a conversation with Matt. Featuring 24 songs spread across four albums, the endeavor contains some of the band's best work to date -- and if you're not already familiar with TTB, this is a great place to jump in.

Trucks and Tedeschi shed a lot of light on how the albums came together, where the film component came into play and how the pandemic fed the whole project. They also discuss the experience of covering the classic Layla album from Derek and the Dominos, revisiting Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen and in general, getting the chance to collaborate with legends.

It's a wonderfully free-flowing conversation that will leave you feeling like you've just spent the afternoon with a couple of good friends.
