Since the mid-’90s, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks have both had successful music careers, she as an acclaimed singer/songwriter and he as an electrifying guitar player with his group and the Allman Brothers Band, among others. The two met on tour in 1999, married a couple of years later and had two children, but their hectic solo schedules often kept them apart. To rectify the situation, they formed the Tedeschi Trucks Band, an 11-member ensemble that recently released debut album Revelator (Sony Masterworks), which was recorded at the duo’s home studio. Knowing how much they like to do things together, we asked Tedeschi and Trucks to guest edit magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with them.
Susan: There’s a chicken place not too far from our home in Jacksonville, Fla., called Beach Road Chicken. It’s just the epitome of Southern soul food. If there’s one thing our entire band can agree on, it’s that chicken. The place is a bit of an institution in Jacksonville, and it doesn’t look like it’s changed at all since they opened in 1939. (And I mean that in a good way.) It’s a great place to take the entire band/crew after rehearsing.
