Comment
A Review of the gig.
Sunday was anything but a day of rest for the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
But you’ll find few people who enjoy their work more than the 11-piece band that lit up the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights for two hours and 10 minutes on Aug. 11.
The annual visit from the troupe, fronted by the married couple of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, was typical of what we’ve come to expect since they began working together in 2007 and formally launched the TTB three years later. It’s a group that subscribes to a make-ever-show-different aesthetic, with completely different set lists each night, a musicological selection of covers and lengthy instrumental extemporizations that feel more like sonic adventures than merely jams.
All those virtues were front and center on Sunday, as the TTB, missing trumpeter Ephraim Owens, played through its 17-song set with smiles, raised eyebrows and a sense that it was enjoying the occasion as much as the audience. In the wake of its ambitious, four-part 2022 “I Am the Moon” project, the band’s Dueces Wild Tour has returned it to the realm of anything-goes, letting the group needle-drop through its own albums and its musical roots. Following a tone-setting opening performance by country singer-songwriter Margo Price’s, the TTB got down to business with its soulful “Anyhow,” Tedeschi playing the guitar solos while Trucks, arguably the best living slide player on the road now, providing textures. He, in turn, tore loose on “Do I Look Worried” and remained the musical focal point throughout the night, though Tedeschi also stepped up during renditions of the Muddy Waters-popularized “Got My Mo-Jo Working…” and Bobby Blue Bland’s “I Pity the Fool.” For all of Trucks’ six-string pyrotechnics, however, it was still very much an ensemble show, with the ball passed between all the musicians throughout the night as the songs rode spiraling dynamics into peaks of musical ecstasy. Keyboardist Gabe Dixon had a handful of solos and as well as lead vocals, including a duet with Tedeschi on “Hear My Dear” — the show’s only “I Am the Moon” selection. Saxophonist Kebbi Williams played a lengthy solo during “Part of Me,” and drummers Tyler Greenwell and Isaac Eady executed a dual solo in the midst of “Idle Wind.” All three backing vocalists had a chance to step out front, too, none better than Alecia Chakour on a powerhouse treatment of Aretha Franklin’s “It Ain’t Fair.” And group-sung arrangements of “Part of Me,” Billy Taylor’s gospel-styled “I Wish I Knew” and “Signs, High Times” were as stirring as any of the instrumental excursions — which is saying a lot.
It was particularly delightful to hear Trucks dip into the Allman Brothers Band songbook on Sunday (he was part of the band from 1999-2014 and is late drummer Butch Trucks’ nephew). “Stand Back” was a welcome (relative) rarity from the early 70s that put a brief spotlight on trombonist Elizabeth Lea, while “Dreams” was a true epic, sung by Tedeschi and Dixon with Trucks stretching even further than the late Duane Allman’s playing on the original. The show came to spirit-lifting conclusion with Price and her band back on stage, joining TTB for Leon Russell’s “Stranger in a Strange Land.” It was an appropriate moment of collective joy, and an inspiring way to end the weekend and get ready for the work week ahead.
