?Far from a second hand ute dealership, Tedeschi Trucks symbolises union. When guitarist Derek Trucks married vocalist Susan Tedeschi, it stitched up their solo bands too. Made Up Mind is the second baby born to this fruitful act of matrimony, a labour of no less than eleven seasoned blues and soul veterans. Rooted in blues and soul, Tedeschi Trucks is a celebration and continuation of all the American heartland has to offer...

In so many ways, Tedeschi Trucks Band has bucked the odds: a band, on paper, doomed to fail and yet, here it is with its second studio recording, after the 2011 debut, Revelator and 2012 live album, Everybody's Talkin' (both, Sony Masterworks). In these days of escalating touring costs, the idea of an eleven-piece rock/soul/blues band being not just viable but successful would seem impossible. Then there's the decades-old unwritten rule: never date?or, worse, marry?one of your band mates...

The key to the success of this sprawling 10-12 member outfit is that the music never feels as big as the ensemble performing it. And because we're talking about classic soul, that smaller sound works perfectly since it's married to an approach that shouldn't overwhelm to deliver the biggest bang for the buck...

Sony Masterworks Tedeschi Trucks Band's award-winning studio debut Revelator managed to update a tried-and-true formula: Memphis soul meets Southern rock with hard-hitting performances and equally powerful songs. Much of the latter seemed to come from Susan Tedeschi, who has emerged during the last decade as a singular vocal stylist and songwriter, capturing emotional lifts that recall everyone from Bonnie Raitt to younger upstarts like Joss Stone and Adele, but with a sound that's immediately...
