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.
Derek: A friend of mine in Japan turned me on to Goro’s work while on tour over there. He’s an incredibly talented silversmith who makes everything by hand. He lived with the Navajo in the U.S. for many years and learned his craft from them. He takes the spirit of their artwork and puts his own unique spin on it. I’ve collected several of his pieces, and now our entire band and crew wears feathers that he made for us.
