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.

Do I Look Worried
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd always fight
Now here you are fooling 'round
Out every night
I don't have to take it anymore
And I'm tired of always keeping score
All I'm saying
Do I look worried to you?
Smacked in the face
Such a disgrace
You were wrong
I try it again
Stay 'till the end
But how long?
And we've been here so many times
And I know you've feed me so many lines
All I'm saying
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Oh, worried to you
Oh, 'cause I ain't worried
Fool me once or twice you know they'll say
Shame on you
But now that I'm done with the math
Here's what I'll do
I'll find my way to an open door
'Cause it's not the same as it was before
All I'm saying
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Oh, worried?
Oh, 'cause I ain't worried
Lord, 'cause I ain't worried
You better, you better be worried
Oh, worried, worried, worried, worried
Worried, worried
I Ain't gonna take it
Anymore
Oh

Back in the day when I lied
In the old days when I used to fib
We'd always fight
We would frequently argue
Now here you are fooling 'round
Nowadays, you're out messing around
Out every night
You go out every night
I don't have to take it anymore
I am not required to endure this any longer
And I'm tired of always keeping score
And I'm weary of constantly keeping track of our disagreements
All I'm saying
What I'm trying to say is
Do I look worried to you?
Do I come across as apprehensive to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Oh, am I appearing scared?
Smacked in the face
Hit in the face
Such a disgrace
It's downright shameful
You were wrong
You were mistaken
I try it again
I attempt it once more
Stay 'till the end
Holding on until the conclusion
But how long?
But for how much time?
And we've been here so many times
And we've been in this predicament so many times
And I know you've feed me so many lines
And I know you've been dishonest with me multiple times before
All I'm saying
What I'm trying to say is
Do I look worried to you?
Do I come across as apprehensive to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Oh, am I appearing scared?
Oh, worried to you
Kindly asking if I'm perceived as worried
Oh, 'cause I ain't worried
Because I am not anxious
Fool me once or twice you know they'll say
Deceiving me once or twice will lead to me being warned
Shame on you
That's your fault, not mine
But now that I'm done with the math
But now that I'm finished with the calculations
Here's what I'll do
This is what I'm going to do
I'll find my way to an open door
I'll make my way to an unlocked exit
'Cause it's not the same as it was before
Because it's no longer the same as it was previously
All I'm saying
What I'm trying to say is
Do I look worried to you?
Do I come across as apprehensive to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Oh, am I appearing scared?
Oh, worried?
Worried?
Oh, 'cause I ain't worried
Because I am not anxious
Lord, 'cause I ain't worried
Goodness, because I am not troubled
You better, you better be worried
You ought to be concerned
Oh, worried, worried, worried, worried
Oh, worried, worried, worried, worried
Worried, worried
Worried, worried
I Ain't gonna take it
I won't tolerate it anymore
Anymore
Any longer

All I say is:

Oh, do I look worried?
Ohh, worried to you
Ohh, 'cause I ain't worried
Fool me once or twice
You know the saying: Shame on you
But now that I'm done with the math
Here's what I'll do
I'll find my way, keep an open door
'Cause it's not the same as it was before
All I say is:
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Ohh, worried
Ohh, 'cause I ain't worried
Lord, 'cause I ain't worried
You better, you better be worried
Ohh, I'm worried, worried, worried, worried
Yeah I ain't gonna take it anymore
Ohhh

The thing that always gets me about Derek's playing is his pocket. He knows right where he should be in the song as a whole, he can dominate with his leads but then back down and play some of the best rhythm work. True legend.
Mark Allen
He is great band leader.
Justin A
He can also always find his actual pocket to quickly switch from slide to no slide 😉

LEAFYANKEE65 AMEN !😎!

He plays so much like Duane Allman, it's scary. I saw him come out on stage and play with the Allman Brothers when he was 10 yrs. old, and he was just as amazing then !!!

I've listened to this performance countless times.
I got shivers each time.

This band has the greatest vocalist chick since Bonnie Raight, and one of the best lead guitarists I've heard, since Skydog and Dicky Betts
