Everybody’s Talkin’

is an 11-piece ensemble made up of guitarist-vocalist Susan Tedeschi’s and guitarist Derek Trucks’ band, known for their unique mix of rock, blues, gospel, soul, and Americana. Their 2011 debut album Revelator won them the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Blues Album and since then have released four more studio albums and three live albums, of which Everybody’s Talkin’ is their first. The songs on Everybody’s Talkin’ are compiled from recordings made on three tour dates in October 2011 and feature tunes from their debut album rearranged, expanded, and extended in true jam band fashion. But, they never seem to resort to clich|s; guitar prodigy Derek Trucks introduces the bands’ hit “Midnight in Harlem” by an Indian raga played as a slide guitar solo, just to give an example. Stevie Wonder’s “Uptight” furthermore showcases their love for soul and jazz. In short, as one reviewer put it succinctly: “Everybody’s Talkin’ is what every live album should be: an accurate, exciting reflection of a hot band playing full-throttle.”
