Description:

Beyond "My Cousin Leila," TTB's new story begins - an epic project in which the entire band read, connected, and created the same story in the midst of a pandemic. This is the third chapter of a new four-chapter project by the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a large blues-rock band led by Derek Trucks, one of the three greatest rock guitarists of the new generation, and Susan Tedeschi, a five-time Grammy-nominated singer and guitarist.

This is their fifth studio work in three years, since "Signs," released in 2019.The entire band tackled one universal theme and worked together to create a vast, exciting, and ambitious musical journey that takes TTB from rock, blues, New Orleans soul, psychedelia, roots music, and free jazz. The album is packed with sounds that only TTB, "the best live band in the world", not to mention the guitarist, could produce! This project, which will be released consecutively over a period of almost four months, consists of four chapters: "I. Crescent", "II. Ascension", "III.
