Concert Break
I don't know how something like this is going to go over for both blogger and bloggees. I guess I'll find out soon.
I am loving the new Tedeschi Trucks Band album "Revelator." It's HERE if you want to buy it.
Reader "Soundsource" hipped me to this 40 minute live concert from Atlanta and it killed me. The record is solid, but here the band really lets loose. Plus, I get to see my man Maurice Brown blowing his horn on a ripping cover of Sly's "Sing A Simple Song."
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Sorry Sal, but to me this sounds like the standard southern-rock-blues with big-voiced-generic-female vocal. I've tried to like Tedeschi, but can't hear anything special there. Respect her and Derek though... you too ... so I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Maurice is going all N'Awlins street parade at the end of that last tune.
I guess I'm with Anon...but then I don't like Bonnie Raitt either. At least Ms. Tedeschi hasn't cut one of those Raitt-esque Lifetime-movie songs.
But the songwriting just doesn't move me. Hey, different strokes and all. He is a hell of a guitar player, interesting to see that he doesn't use a pick, a la Jeff Beck.
Well...sometimes it's all about the vibe and the groove and the band. Personally, I think this particular line-up has it all.
How do you feel about Delaney & Bonnie, or the Allmans?
Sorry you can't appreciate them Anon. But I'm at a loss how you can label any band that pulls off rip-roaring covers of everything from 70's funk like Sing A Simple Song to the Domino's Anyday as "standard... generic... southern rock blues."
Sal, I like the Allmans and D&B, although according to Bobby Whitlock's book the latter were not very nice people.
hey Sal did you see this? (gracias to BoingBoing):

I do like some Allmans, though I'm less impressed with their jazz-odyssey inclinations than I was in college...now that I've heard the real stuff. But their songs were stronger, more tuneful and to-the-point. Delaney and Bonnie I've never really delved into beyond the hits.
Love early Allmans and Raitt. Perhaps unfairly, I stopped following the Bro's when they started dying off, and Bonnie when she slipped into MOR/big hair hell.
