But the group's combination of musical excellence and daring won't be denied, which makes I Am the Moon, in all of its unapologetically indulgent grandeur, a career-defining work. They haven't wavered from the path throughout four previous studio albums, but with I Am the Moon they're doubling down on that creative ambition, knocking down any walls that may still be standing before them. Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks demonstrated their chutzpah back in 2010 when they formed the 12-member collective modeled in the grand organic tradition of the Allman Brothers Band (which Trucks, nephew of their late drummer Butch Trucks, played in from 1999-2014), Grateful Dead, the Band, Leon Russell's Hello People and others of that ilk. But it's also entirely in character for the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
A four-part album series housing more than two hours of music and two dozen songs inspired by an ancient Persian poem? With an accompanying film for each section - and in 2022, when they say nobody cares about long-players anymore? That's chutzpah.
