After spending years touring with their own bands, and often times sharing bills together, the formidable husband and wife duo of Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi decided to put their solo bands on indefinite hiatus and essentially morph them into one giant band to form the aptly named Tedeschi Trucks Band. Late last month the 11-piece ensemble released their sophomore effort, a double-disc live album Everybody’s Talkin’ that shows off the diverse talents of this meaty group.

The 12-track covers heavy effort features a mix of blues, soul, funk, jazz and gospel with takes on tracks from Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker and the Staple Singers. Let’s check out the band’s take on the record’s title track the Harry Nilsson classic Everybody’s Talkin’…
