Tedeschi Trucks Band (TTB) has officially released their historic live album Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (Live at Lockn’) via Fantasy Records. This vibrant project captures the legendary 2015 tribute performance led by Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and the late Leon Russell, marking the first time this star-studded set is available on global streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl. The release was heralded by the single “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window,” a raucous rendition featuring guest appearances from guitarists Warren Haynes and Anders Osborne.
The album serves as a soulful homage to Joe Cocker and Leon Russell’s original 1970 tour, reviving the grand, communal spirit of the era. Recorded at the Lockn’ Festival in Virginia, the performance saw TTB’s 12-piece ensemble swell to over 20 musicians on stage, including original Mad Dogs members Rita Coolidge and Claudia Lennear alongside guests like Dave Mason and Chris Robinson. The setlist breathes fresh life into timeless classics such as “The Letter,” “Delta Lady,” and “With A Little Help From My Friends,” blending TTB’s signature Southern soul with the gospel-inspired fire of the original arrangements.
Beyond the archival release, Tedeschi Trucks Band remains a powerhouse on the road, recently wrapping their massive “Live in ’25” North American tour which included sold-out highlights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The band is also looking toward 2026 with the return of their “Sun, Sand and Soul Beach Weekend” in Miramar Beach, Florida, where they will headline alongside Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. Whether through historic reissues or their current dynamic live shows, TTB continues to prove that the communal, improvisational approach to rock and roll is as necessary and alive as ever.
