Formed in 2010, the band is led by husband-and-wife musicians Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, and primarily features members from their solo groups. Their debut album, Revelator, won a Grammy Award for Best Blues Album.

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.

In Every Heart
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In every heart there's a name
Under the perfume and all the blame
In every heart
In every story a face
It won't ever leave you, so dream away
In every heart

Just in time to tell the tale

(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart

In every soul there's a psalm
Coming to find you to sing along
In every heart

In every life there's a rhyme
Raise up the covers and let it shine
In every heart

Just in time to tell the tale
(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart

Oh
In every heart there's a book
Getting a word in through all that noise (oh, all of it)
In every heart

Just in time to tell the tale
(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
Oh, in every heart

In every, in every heart
Oh, in every heart

Oh, in every heart

Oh, in every heart
In every heart
