So strange- I'm not a huge fan of Southern Rock (I despise Lynyrd Skynyrd in all shapes and forms), but I always adored The Allman Brothers. The Allman Brothers' music always had a very heart rending, tortured, sad, rebellious, proud, stark, REAL feel to me.
Lynyrd Skynyrd were like the loud mouthed, mean spirited, gleefully ignorant, toothless rednecks that sat at the back of the bus and hassled everyone.
I'm probably spelling Lynyrd Skynyrd wrong- but they're not worth the 2 seconds it would take to Google them to check.    

 
I agree eerily...i did not want to think of Lynyrd in such a negative way...but i surely am channeling Duane Allman from 40 years ago

Time for remedial probability lessons.  However you want to define "chronic repetition", it ain't happenin' here.  I really have lost all patience for such griping.

Deadwing: I am a fan of a lot of Southern Rock, but I think your statements and sentiments about the Allman Bros. and Skynyrd are largely  accurate; at least they are in my mind.  {#High-five}

The first few notes reminded me of one of my old favorite slide blues guitarist, Johnny Winter. Whatever happened to that dude? Johnny and his brother Edgar Winter could sure play their axes.

Still on the "new" band that includes the couple-Trucks and various elements of the previous two bands. This is only my personal point of view:  meditating on the subject I think the right thing, not to assume the preponderance of any member of the couple when the "new" band is mentioned, the ideal, that would be:
"Derek & Tedeschi Trucks Band".  Perfect.  

Another aspect, not least importante, is that Susan, assuming the role of lead singer almost exclusively. This could, in my view, not always produce the best results. Because the musical genres, mainly blues rock, southern rock, in certain circumstances and in certain types of songs, be more appropriate to use a male voice, or duet.

Yes, that's right, the voice of Mike Mattison, who incidentally had an extraordinary performance as a lead-vocalist and songwriter in the former Derek Trucks Band. It is true that Susan Tedeschi has a great voice, I like the style, she rocks (most notably in the melodic lower registers, with high peaks at the end of the verses), but usually sings in a register very high effort creased, which in many cases can affect the overall result that requires a deeper voice.

It also should be given more leeway to Mike Mattison, who is an excellent songwriter ("Midnight in Harlem"), in addition to being an extraordinary vocalist.

It's a challenge having to manage a band, both over-prominence, first a virtuoso guitarist, and the other an exceptional vocalist. The secret is in the balance, I think. Excess of leadership and vanity (though legitimate) can be counterproductive and disastrous.

I also agree that a young and beautiful lady, mini-skirt (second youth?) is always well ahead in a rock band when they perform live on stage. In work done in the studio, this is irrelevant. Just musicians. Period.

To avoid seeing the "new" band to have to resort systematically to "covers" adapted from famous songs, but of other artists. As I said, the secret, the main asset, is being able to create value-added in original songs that endures in history. Create immortal songs - is the supreme art of the musician - It's hard. In addition to good performance when working on live stage, but that alone is not sufficient in terms of lasting and prestigious career.

Saw them recently—they were one of the opening acts for Paul Simon and company—and they were simply fantastic.
