Wednesday, August 13 Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell Present: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) New Album Out September 12th
Tedeschi Trucks Band bring their expansive Live in ’25 Tour, produced by Live Nation, to LA for a co-headlining show with Whiskey Myers.
TTB are also gearing up for the official release of Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) with Leon Russell on September 12th via Fantasy Records. Marking 10 years since the iconic tribute performance at the Virginia-based festival, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell Present: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) will be made available for the first time ever on global streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl. 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 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, andChris Stainton, along with a diverse group of special guests including Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, and Dave Mason. The setlist included memorable performances of such hits as “Feelin’ Alright,” “The Weight,” “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window,” “Delta Lady,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” and the album’s recently released first single “The Letter” featuring Tedeschi on lead vocals. 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.
