\"\"<\/a>Nothing quite like a Tedeschi Trucks Band fix in the middle of the week to break up the 9-5 monotony of the daily work schedule.<\/p>\n

Kicking off their 2019 fall tour, Tedeschi Trucks Band came back to Houston last week with their soulful \/ blues infused twelve-piece ensemble and once again knocked it out of the musical ball park with some of the most creative and sometimes inspirational music on the planet.<\/p>\n

As with every performance, Susan Tedeschi\u2019s soulful and searing vocals were powerful and intense. Incredible vocal gymnastics coupled with her guitar work was as spell binding and stunning as ever.<\/p>\n

Derek Trucks is a major guitar force. Heavily influenced by such musical legends as The of Allman Brothers and Eric Clapton, Trucks playing can be mind-boggling especially when he goes off into his extended jams with the other band members in tow.<\/p>\n

TTB has always paid homage to their musical mentors by covering some of the music that made their heroes famous. Cover songs included a rousing version of the BoxTops hit \u201cThe Letter\u201d featuring Susan Tedeschi along with the horn and back up vocal section filling in at all the right spots.<\/p>\n

Tedeschi didn\u2019t stop there as the ensemble also played \u201cBell Bottom Blues\u201d to perfection. Alan Toussaint\u2019s \u201cGet Out of My Life Woman\u201d sounded even more soulful than the original version, especially with long time Derek Trucks collaborator Mike Mattison handling the vocals.<\/p>\n

Considering Trucks was actually a member of The Allman Brothers Band for a time it\u2019s no wonder that one of that band\u2019s iconic songs, \u201cDon\u2019t Keep Me Wondering\u201d was so masterfully covered by this super music machine.<\/p>\n

Touring in support of their latest release, Signs, the duo ripped through a number of new soon to be TTB classics. New tunes from Signs featured during the evening included \u201cShame\u201d and\u201dStill Your Mine\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cMidnight in Harlem\u201d from the album Revelator, has become one of the bands most recognizable songs. The easy rolling melody of this song held the audience spell bound. Other numbers of the evening included, \u2018Do I Look Worried\u201d, \u201cHigh and Mighty\u201d, \u201cI Want More\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Know What it Means\u201d.<\/p>\n

The encore set featured two songs. The first was Elton John\u2019s spiritually infused \u201cBorder Song\u201d which was followed up by \u201c Made up Mind\u201d from Tedeschi Trucks second studio album of the same name.<\/p>\n

Enough has been written about Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi\u2019s musical collaboration by now to fill volumes and each time they perform they add another chapter to their ever evolving and growing oeuvre.<\/p>\n

This show has to be seen and heard live to really appreciate what Tedeschi Trucks Band is all about. They have been and still are one of the best live performances you will ever witness in concert.<\/p>\n
