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.

Part Of Me
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you coming back to me
All of your loving
The plans you wrote our sweet melody
These are the days
The days that reflect in from the times that we had
I'm going away all the love
Until the day when you come home
Don't you know I'll never love another friend?
All my love for you
Search the world, I'll find you
Another man of your kind
And say all the years attending me
I was on a rough patch
When I realized I looked back
And I knew what I saw
I saw you play a song for me
You brought me to tears
You brought me people
Dropped me to my knees
It was love, love for real
It was something that I'd never feel
Don't you know I'll never love another friend?
All my love for you
Search the world, I'll find you
Another man of your kind
And say all the years attending me
Together we fall
And we left the storm behind
You gave me shelter
And it helped her pass the time
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna let you pass me by
Don't you know I'll never love another friend?
All my love for you
Search the world, I'll find you
Another man of your kind
And say all the years attending me
Don't you know I'll never love another friend?
All my love for you
Search the world, I'll find you
Another man of your kind
And say all the years attending me
You set me free
Don't you know I'll never love another friend?
Don't you know that you're the only one?
All my love for you
Search the world, I'll find you
Another man of your kind
And say all the years attending me
Don't you know that you're a part of me?
