Mulligan Stew May 13th 2017- Tedeschi Trucks Band Interview

Episode Notes

 
But most of all, I was struck by the visual of an 11-piece outfit that includes men, women, black people, and white people standing on the same stage — sharing, collaborating, dancing, celebrating, and above all working together toward a common goal. The music itself was a thoroughly American amalgamation of blues, soul, jazz, and funk. But Tedeschi Trucks Band hit hardest that night as a reiteration of an idea about America that seemed to have been discarded in a road-side ditch earlier that week. That the election didn’t kill the compassionate spirit of this country — particularly the ways in which that spirit is manifested in American music, our nation’s greatest export — filled me with so much unexpected hope. Like that, Tedeschi Trucks Band became my new favorite live band.

For a band that spends hundreds of days on the road a year, it was important to choose the right time for their second live album. As Derek explains, “we’ve been wanting to properly document the progress of this band for a while and it really felt like we were hitting our stride and firing on all cylinders last fall.”Tedeschi adds, “it was special capturing the live performance from Oakland. The audience was great and the band played with passion. I am thankful we captured the band at this moment in time.”

On July 1, they will launch their third annual Wheels of Soul tour, this year featuring like-minded roots-rockers, The Wood Brothers, and bona fide rock legends, Hot Tuna.
