"The Storm" is one of my favorite Tedeschi Trucks tracks.
And I happened to stumble across them while discovering the Allman Brothers Band a few years ago.
I was going to post in the made me smile thread, but here is just as appropriate...
Was at my cousin's wedding on the weekend and having a catch up with my uncle that still plays in the band that he formed in 1974.
They where pretty popular back in the day, even got to play on countdown/beatbox towards the end of their time together. In the late 80s they took a couple of decades off to raise families and stuff, then reformed a few years ago. They can still pull a crowd at the pubs playing rock covers these days.
My uncle and I got to chatting about all things music (as we usually do) and I was blown away when he told how he's still discovering music today and the variety of sounds that catch his ear these days. It was almost word for word how I would describe my crazy random musical exploration and going down the rabbit hole following a specific sound or groove.
I was sitting there thinking 'how cool is this? I'm sitting here with a person almost 30 years my senior and talking about everything from The Pink Fairies to Grand Funk Railroad to Anthrax to Ramstein and back'....
And right now I'm listening to the new "Superheist" album "The History Between Us".
Only playing them because I was standing with the band at the luggage carousel in Brisbane airport when I flew back home from the wedding last night.
So far I'm not into it as much as their earlier albums from the late 90s/early 2000s, but will give it a couple of spins to see if their new sound grows on me.
