Info for Future Soul

Tedeschi Trucks Band dig deeper into their expansive roots-soul sound on Future Soul, a new collection that spotlights the chemistry and firepower of the band’s dynamic lineup.

Future Soul finds Tedeschi Trucks Band leaning deeper into the collective chemistry that has made the 12-piece ensemble one of the most popular acts in roots music. Led by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, the band’s sixth studio album delivers eleven songs shaped by the group’s deep bench of musicians and writers.

Trucks calls it his favorite set of songs the band has put on record, while Tedeschi notes the album carries a slightly more punk spirit than listeners might expect. The result feels like a band stretching comfortably beyond the blues foundation many associate with them.

The album opens with the relaxed funk-soul groove of “Crazy Cryin’,” before moving into the infectious mid-tempo drive of “I Got You,” written by guitarist and vocalist Mike Mattison. Built aroud vocalized guitar lines that became a playful call-and-response between voice and instrument, the track nods to the spirit of Derek and the Dominos and Delaney & Bonnie.

“Who Am I” follows with a laid-back J.J. Cale-style sway that recalls the mood of “Midnight in Harlem,” while the title track arrives with a blast of energy that gives Trucks room to explore new textures on his 1958 Flying V, experimenting with pedals and tones rarely heard in his playing.

Future Soul grew out of a period of intense touring following the band’s ambitious 2022 quadruple album I Am The Moon. When the core group gathered at the Tedeschi Trucks family farm in Georgia in 2024, ideas quickly began flowing. For the first time, the band also brought in an outside producer, working with Mike Elizondo to capture the live energy that defines Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Since forming in 2010, the group has built a remarkable résumé, including a Grammy-winning debut with Revelator, multiple Blues Music Awards, and sold-out shows at venues from Madison Square Garden to Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Future Soul captures a band still evolving while staying rooted in the spirit that brought them together in the first place: a collective of seasoned musicians pushing each other forward, one song at a time.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band
led by the husband-and-wife duo of guitarist and vocalist Susan Tedeschi and slide guitarist Derek Trucks — began as a summer touring unit known as the Soul Stew Revival. It was both a practical consideration for the pair to spend time together with their young family and a musical endeavor. Soul Stew Revival featured members of their own bands and numerous guest musicians, and the loose-knit cooperative band performed roof-raising shows full of soul, blues, funk, and gospel standards, as well as original material. After one of these tours, the pair decided to create a home studio to be better able to finance their own recordings. Tedeschi and Trucks performed a cover of 'Space Captain' on Herbie Hancock's Imagine Project, and solidified an 11-piece band from their own units, as well as horn players and percussionists. Renamed the Tedeschi Trucks Band, they signed to Sony's Masterworks imprint, recorded over 30 songs, and eventually pared the selection down to 11 tracks for their debut album, Revelator, which was released in June 2011 and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Blues Album. It was followed in the spring of 2012 by Live: Everybody's Talkin', a sprawling double-disc set which featured material from Revelator, alongside some carefully-chosen cover versions. August 2013 brought a second studio album, Made Up Mind, which featured co-writing credits from the Jayhawks' Gary Louris and Soulive's Eric Krasno.

This album contains no booklet.
