Tedeschi Trucks Band: Revelator
By Track review of "Come See About Me"Opening with the intricate and driving "Come See About Me," Revelator draws inspiration from the dual-drummer format of the Allman Brothers Band to lay down a layered thickness of rhythm and beat à la the late Richie Hayward, from Little Feat. Trucks contributes a slide guitar line, upon which Tedeschi paints on the soul, while the horn section fills in all of the blank spots, giving the performances great depth. Playing in an open tuning, Trucks demonstrates that only Sonny Landreth can play slide guitar comparablybut, while Landreth is technically near-perfect, he lacks the fire that Trucks consistently summons from the spirit of Duane Allman.
