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.

Everybody's Talkin'
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behing
The lyrics to "Everybody's Talkin'" by Tedeschi Trucks Band seem to reflect the feelings of someone who is disconnected from what's happening around them. The singer hears people talking, but doesn't listen to what they say because their mind is occupied by their own thoughts. The imagery of shadows adds to this feeling of disconnection from reality. The singer is looking for a place where they can be at peace with themselves and escape from the noise and confusion of the world. The lines "going where the sun keeps shining, through the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes" suggest that the singer is seeking some sort of refuge where they can be themselves and not have to worry about fitting in or conforming to the expectations of others. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, as the singer declares that they won't let their love be left behind, even as they seek their own sanctuary.
One possible interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is experiencing some sort of personal crisis or existential angst. They feel isolated and disconnected from others, and are searching for a way to find meaning and purpose in their life. This sense of alienation is reflected in the opening lines, which suggest that the singer is struggling to connect with others and is more interested in their own internal monologue than in the world around them. The images of shadows and echoes further reinforce this sense of disconnection, while the repeated references to the sun and the weather suggest a quest for something more elemental and enduring.

in my opinion Derek Trucks is the best guitar of the new century, maybe even the last!!!!!!! he learned from all the greats and improved on them all, you go Derek. i have watched you, your dad, and the allman brothers for a long time. beacon theater 2003 OMG, fantastic. he closes his eyes, lovingly touches the strings, and creates beauty.

Tanya Tucker first recorded it, besides John Prine. He actually wrote "Angel From Montgomery" as a country song. And Tanya Tucker made it a hit back in the 70's. And I just don't think anyone else's recording measures up. While I love Bonnie and Susan...I think Tanya did it better. This is also one of my most requested songs to do at gigs. LOVE IT!!!!
