Re: Tedeschi Trucks Band
Now Tedeschi Trucks Band is possibly something I would never stumbled across had I not (finally) come across Joe and joined the forum. And when an 'other artist' thread gets into 5 pages it's a cue to take notice at least!
I noted that they were playing down here next year (at the theatre / theater that Joe played last year) and thought I'd have a bit of a sniff. End result is I bought Revelator and this year's Everybody's Talkin' (live) that surprisingly nobody's mentioned here.
I agree with the sentiment that Revelator is mellow but it still oozes class. And it is OK to have something this good to play while chilling out reading a book or as backgound to dinner or a glass of wine in the afternoon sun with friends.
Everybody's Talking though is amazing and seems to have captured the rave reviews throughout this thread of the live shows. The big band has so many facets and Susan's voice tingles the spine, full of exended jams - there's only 11 tracks on the 2 CD set.
So they're primarily coming here for this: http://www.bluesfest.com.au/ (suck that lineup up!) and the Enmore Theatre show I mentioned is a sideshow to it, but would be a full set. My dilemma now is I've realized it's on Easter Sunday night when, as every year, I'll be camping up the coast with very close friends which makes it a bit too far away... Decisions, decisions. (And also why am I not going to the 2013 Byron Bay Bluesfest - which again I never have because the Easter beach trip).
