Tedeschi Trucks Band – Layla Revisited (Live at LOCKN’) | 2-CD
At the 2019 LOCKN' Festival, Tedeschi Trucks Band performed Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in its entirety—with Trey Anastasio joining on guitar. This 2-CD set captures that complete performance, documenting one of the most ambitious tributes to Eric Clapton and Duane Allman's 1970 masterpiece. The Layla sessions hold special resonance for Derek Trucks, whose uncle Butch drummed for the Allman Brothers alongside Duane. With Trey adding his distinctive voice to the dual-guitar attack, the performance honors the original while pushing into new improvisational territory.
TTB's 12-piece lineup—dual drummers, three-piece horn section, backup vocalists—brings orchestral depth to Clapton and Allman's guitar interplay. "Tell the Truth," "Bell Bottom Blues," "I Looked Away," and the iconic "Layla" all receive extended treatment that respects the source while showcasing what makes TTB special. Derek's slide guitar channels Duane without imitating him; Susan's vocals bring new emotional depth to songs originally sung by Clapton. This isn't a cover band exercise—it's a reimagining by musicians who understand that honoring the past means pushing it forward.
