Description:

Tedeschi Trucks Band release their second live album, Live From The Fox Oakland, on Fantasy Records. Led by the husband-and-wife duo of guitar master Derek Trucks and singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, the 12-piece ensemble's breathtaking live show is captured here over 15 blistering tracks. Recorded in a single night on September 9, 2016, at Oakland, CA's Fox Theater, the audio was mixed using a vintage Neve console to achieve an exquisitely immersive sound experience and mastering guru Bob Ludwig handled the mastering.

The collection includes cuts from the Tedeschi Trucks Band's 2016 album. Let's get on with it. TTB's own interpretations of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" and Bobby "Blue" Bland's "I Pity the Fool," two songs which feature the full range Power of Tedeschi's vocals. On Derek and the Dominos '"Keep On Growing" it's Trucks' guitar work that grabs the spotlight for a stunning extended solo. In another memorable segment, sarod master Alam Khan joins TTB onstage for the first time on their original song "These Walls." This genre-defying moment reveals TTB's classical Indian influences and proves the 12-piece ensemble can drop their sound down to a whisper when it serves the song.

For a band that spends hundreds of days on the road, it was important to choose the right time for their second live album. As Trucks explains, "we've been wanting to do the right thing for the sake of this band." Tedeschi adds, "it was a special capturing of the live performance from Oakland." The audience was great and the band was playing with passion.

Trucks and Tedeschi's full commitment to making the best sounding live. "Our engineers Bobby Tis and Brian Speiser have been tweaking our recording on the road for the last year. We can really capture the sound of being in the room," says Trucks. "The three of us spent countless hours in our studio after the recording to bring the tracks to life and make sure you can hear all the energy and nuances, which is not easy with a 12 piece band. To make sure the mixing / mastering was a notch above and I think our fans and music deserve the extra effort. "
