The Tedeschi Trucks Band (TTB), featuring Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, are set to release their album, Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (Live at Lockn’). 10 years since the tribute performance at the Virginia-based festival, presented with Leon Russell, the record will be available for the first time, on streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl, from September 12th, via Fantasy Records. Find out more below.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (Live at Lockn’) is a vibrant tribute to one of the most iconic live rock collaborations in music history. Originally led by Joe Cocker and the legendary keyboardist and bandleader Leon Russell in 1970, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a raucous, soulful tour that brought together a massive ensemble of musicians. In September 2015, Tedeschi Trucks Band – helmed by guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks and powerhouse vocalist Susan Tedeschi – revived this landmark event, infusing it with their own blend of Southern soul, blues, and rock.
The historic, star-studded tribute concert took place at the Lockn’ Festival 45 years after the original tour. That night, TTB’s 12-piece ensemble and Russell welcomed original Mad Dogs members, such as Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, and Chris Stainton, along with a diverse group of special guests including Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, and Dave Mason. The stage often swelled to over 20 musicians, echoing the original tour’s grand, communal spirit. The setlist included memorable performances of such hits as “Feelin’ Alright,” “The Weight,” “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window,” “Delta Lady,” and “With A Little Help From My Friends” as well as the album’s first single “The Letter” featuring Tedeschi on lead vocals. Their newest single “Feelin’ Alright,” is a stirring rendition featuring Dave Mason, who penned the hit, on lead vocals and Anders Osborne on guitar. Tedeschi Trucks Band, known for their dynamic interplay and emotional depth, breathe fresh life into these classic songs. Tedeschi’s vocals blend beautifully with the robust horn section and gospel-inspired backing vocals, while Trucks channels the soulful fire of the original arrangements through his slide guitar, adding his signature fluidity and emotion. More than just nostalgia, TTB and Leon Russell’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen set at Lockn’ shows how timeless this communal approach to music-making still is – vibrant, necessary, and alive.
