Future Soul Vinyl

Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks: Individually and together, their musical pedigrees and prowess are untouchable. But it's the heart, honesty and full-band collaboration that makes Future Soul the most powerful album to date by the revered 12-piece Tedeschi Trucks Band. "I feel like this is the most unique record we've done," says Trucks. "It's my favorite collection of songs that we've ever put on a record. From song to song, there's just not a weak spot." Kicking off Future Soul is the laid-back funky soul of 'Crazy Cryin'," into the infectious, driving mid-tempo classic "I Got You." Third up, the timeless "Who Am I" has a J.J. Cale feel and harkens back slightly to "Midnight in Harlem" while also being it's own beast. "Future Soul" kicks the door down sonically, highlighting a collection whose depth is matched by it's buoyant spirit. On "Future Soul," Trucks, who has notched two appearances on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list, had fun with his 1958 "crazy Space Age Flying V." His goal for the sonics? "I just want it to sound like the building's going to blow apart."
