This album should be new to the majority here, as I could only find two references to the band amongst a list of somebody's 'likes' and one Spinning Today, so hopefully another new band for most? I have now changed my Album Club selection 5 times and this was my original first choice back when I bought the album in April, so I have gone full circle. I find it hard to pick an album that hopefully people will like as well as being relatively unknown.
Anyway, The Tedeschi Trucks Band are a collaboration between The Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi. They are now married and were both performing artists in their own right before they met, but have now formed a joint band and this is their first album together. Derek Trucks is a superb blues guitarist and better known in the US than here, as is Susan. This album (released in June 2011) won the Grammy this year for Best Blues Album and its richly deserved IMO. They are also up for Classic Rocks 2012 award for best new band. As far as I am aware they have yet to grace our shores but have been going down a storm in the US for their live shows, in fact they have recently released a double live album named 'Everybody's Talkin'.
Recorded in Derek and Susan's own Swamp Raga Studios in Jacksonville, Florida the album was co-produced by Derek with producer/engineer Jim Scott (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Wilco). Revelator is a combination of delta blues, Memphis soul, 60's rock and 70's funk which flows together naturally, blending into an entirely original yet modern sound.
When I first heard this I couldn't stop playing it and 'Midnight in Harlem' is for me the stand out track on the album and currently tops my Last.fm most played track charts. Hopefully there should be a few here that enjoy this as much as I do.
