The band was founded 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. 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.

Darling Be Home Soon
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

Come and talk of all the things we did today
Let's take a few moments to reminisce about the things we did today
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
We can chuckle about our quirks and idiosyncrasies
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Let's take a break and catch our breath for a bit
And I know that it's time you must leave
I understand that you have to go soon
But darling be home soon
Please come back quickly, I can't stand to wait any longer
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
I don't want to wait any longer than I have to
My darling be home soon
Please hurry back, I miss you already
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
I've been waiting for you for a long time, even since I was a child
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Talking to you brings me a sense of comfort and ease
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
I'm realizing that I've already lived a significant portion of my life
I think I've come to see myself at last
I'm beginning to understand who I really am
And I see that the time spent confused
I realize that the time I spent feeling lost and uncertain
Was the time that I spent without you
Was the time when I didn't have you by my side
And I feel myself in bloom
I'm blossoming and growing now that I have you in my life
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Don't be afraid to dream big and reach for the stars
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
Look beyond what's immediately in front of you and see the bigger picture
It's ok to shoot the moon
It's okay to take risks and aim for something that seems out of reach

These two have got to be the coolest couple ever. To be able to work together, make today's most amazing music, raise a family, and build the love of thousands upon thousands fans all over the world, all while apparently being humble, real human beings is such a rare, rare, rare thing. I wish them and theirs peace and happiness for all the days of their lives.
