Tedeschi Trucks Band: High & Mighty (ep)

Tedeschi Trucks Band High & Mighty (ep) Fantasy I’ve said it before – but here goes again: The decision for Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks to meet and marry, and then to marry their music together making a supergroup they co-lead has been good for all. The fans win. I liked what Trucks was about […]

Tedeschi Trucks Band: Signs

Tedeschi Trucks Band  Signs  Fantasy  I’m truly happy that Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks met and married – and not just for the personal story, they’re making better music together.

Eric Clapton: Live In San Diego (with Special Guest J.J. Cale)

Sonny Landreth: Bound By The Blues

Sonny Landreth Bound By The Blues Mascot Label Group Sonny Landreth is here Bound By The Blues, though sadly not gagged. He’s a phenomenal slide player – even if it’s always so clean, so the absurdity of his whiter-than-white playing is exposed further when he tackles standards such as Walkin’ Blues and Key To The […]
