Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band was founded in 2010 after both Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi put their solo bands on hiatus to form a new group that lets the married couple focus on making music together, and allows them to spend more time together while touring and recording.
Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi have toured together in 2007, under the name Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, however this group's material was largely culled from Derek & Susan's solo projects, while the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band mostly focuses on performing original songs.
After the announcement in late 2009 of a hiatus for both The Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi Band, the couple began writing new material, working out of their home studio in Jacksonville with a rotating cast of friends and musicians. Their first concert was on April 1, 2010 at the Savannah Music Festival, and although their touring schedule was limited in 2010, the group did perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, Fuji Rock Festival, and several other festivals and venues.
The collaboration between Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi has also extended to other artists. Trucks and Tedeschi appeared together on Herbie Hancock's album, The Imagine Project, performing the track "Space Captain" with additional members of Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band, including Oteil Burbridge, Kofi Burbridge, and Mike Mattison. A music video was also released, showing Herbie Hancock as he recorded the song at Trucks & Tedeschi's home studio.[3] Trucks and Tedeschi also appeared with Herbie Hancock to perform "Space Captain" at his 70th birthday concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
On 7 March 2011, the band announced that it was changing its name to the Tedeschi Trucks Band. The first Tedeschi Trucks Band CD, Revelator, will be released on June 7th 2011
Anyday
Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home."
But if you believed in me like I believe in you,
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly.
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
Well someday baby, I know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And I'll never ever let you down.
[Chorus: x2]
To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another,
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man.
[Chorus: x2]
Anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, just for a little, just for a little while.
The lyrics to Derek Trucks Band & Susan Tedeschi's song "Anyday" appear to be about a relationship on the rocks, with one person wanting to leave, while the other is pleading for them to stay. The singer hears the other person say that nothing can make them stay, and that they would rather go back home. However, the singer believes that if the other person believed in them like they believe in the other person, they could have a love that lasts forever. The chorus of the song repeats the optimistic sentiment that one day they will see the other person smile, even if it's only for a little while.
The second verse of the song seems to directly address the heartache that comes with a relationship falling apart. The singer says that when the other person needs them, they will be there. They will be the one constant in the other person's life, and they will never let them down. The final verse of the song suggests that sometimes love involves taking a risk, even if it means breaking your own heart. To "twist the knife into yourself" suggests a sort of masochism, but it's a necessary step in understanding the complexities of love. The singer promises to be the kind of man who can bring his woman back home after she's left him for another.

I swear to God this version of this song makes me happy every time I listen to it. Just seeing the joy on the faces of those in the band, and that of those watching is a gift. When I hear it on my playlist I imagine seeing the band feeling every minute of this. I have see TTB a number of times and they never disappoint. His playing, her singing, his singing, his drumming, what more could you ask for in life?
@SuperDeaville
I must have watched this clip more than 100 times over the years. It still gives me goosebumps. Trucks gives a masterclass in solo-building, but what is so striking is how the entire band travels the same musical journey so seamlessly. As good as it gets.
@dougmisantoni4384
Everytime......

Same.

What a band and what a performance!
Derek just tears it up but Susan and Mike on vocals are stellar. Can't get enough of this!
Simply brilliant!
@robinwilson1433
Can you please tell me Mike's surname?
@scrumhalforegon
@@robinwilson1433 Mike Mattison. He is a Harvard graduate with formidable musical chops in his own right. Was the lead singer for the Derek Trucks band before they merged with Tedeschi's band. He also wrote one of their signature songs, Midnight in Harlem.
@haroldbrown6630
Yup, when Clapton listens to someone play guitar and smiles and applauds, come on now. Love everything this duo does - the it factor is love.
@janflewelling6277
