Tedeschi Trucks Band

Revelator

Long-awaited 2011 debut album by the husband-wife team of singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi and guitarist Derek Trucks.

Filled with smoky, blues-dipped rockers and heart-stilling ballads that show off, respectively, the gutsier and softer side of Tedeschi’s vocal ability, plus a series of emotive, story-telling solos shaped by Trucks’s uncanny agility on slide-guitar, Revelator also serves to introduce the couple s new, 11-piece ensemble Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Warren Haynes

Man In Motion

Warren Haynes continues to be one of the most lauded straight-ahead Rock lead guitarists performing today.

But with this album, his superior vocals are also at the forefront. Haynes’ bold and emotive delivery, shimmering with his smoky vibrato is not to be missed.

The album features Ivan Neville on organ and background vocals, Ian McLagan on piano, Ruthie Foster on background vocals, George Porter Jr. on bass and Ron Holloway on saxophone. The album was recorded live in studio to capture all of the emotion, passion and spontaneity on two-inch tape with vintage tube microphones.

North Mississippi Allstars

Keys To the Kingdom

Keys to the Kingdom is the most personal recording in the North Mississippi Allstars catalog.

That said, “personal” doesn’t mean “quiet.” It was recorded at their home Zebra Studios in the aftermath of Cody and Luther Dickinson’s father, musician, producer, and Southern music historian Jim Dickinson’s passing and the birth of Luther’s first child.

The words “Produced for Jim Dickinson” that adorn the album’s back sleeve offer a hint as to the album’s sound.

Joe Bonamassa

Dust Bowl

Dust Bowl combines the gritty, blues-based tones of Bonamassa’s first albums with the fluid, genre-defying sounds he’s mastered in the years since, plus a dose of Nashville in duets with legends John Hiatt and Vince Gill.
