I Am The Moon: III. The Fall on black vinyl represents the third chapter of Tedeschi Trucks Band's ambitious four-album project inspired by the 12th-century Persian poem Layla and Majnun—the same story that inspired Derek and the Dominos' Layla album. Released in 2022 as part of a suite exploring love, separation, madness, and reunion, The Fall captures the emotional devastation of the narrative's darkest moment. This single LP showcases TTB's ability to balance orchestral arrangements with intimate emotional delivery, with Susan Tedeschi's vocals and Derek Trucks' slide guitar creating landscapes of heartbreak.

The Fall leans into the melancholy and despair of its chapter in the story, with songs that move from whisper-quiet introspection to full-band catharsis. Derek's slide guitar work throughout is restrained and purposeful, choosing emotional impact over technical display, while Susan's vocals convey vulnerability and strength simultaneously. The 12-piece TTB lineup—dual drummers, three-piece horn section, keyboards, and backing vocalists—creates depth without overwhelming the songs' emotional cores. Production by Bobby Tis captures both the intimacy of quiet moments and the power of full-band crescendos.

What makes The Fall essential is how it functions both as a standalone album and as a chapter in the larger I Am The Moon narrative. TTB took a risk creating a four-album suite in an era when most artists struggle to get listeners to sit through one album, and The Fall rewards that ambition with some of the band's most emotionally direct material. This black vinyl pressing preserves the dynamic range that makes the album work—from hushed confessions to orchestral emotional release.

Single LP black vinyl. Part of four-album I Am The Moon suite. Released 2022. Produced by Bobby Tis. 12-piece ensemble.
