Let Me Get By by Tedeschi Trucks Band

Let Me Get By, the Tedeschi Trucks Band's 2016 album on Fantasy, was cut in the early months of 2015, whenever the road let up, at the home studio Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks keep in Jacksonville. This time the married bandleaders and their outfit wrote every song themselves, with a hand from Doyle Bramhall II, and Trucks took the producer's job alone after sharing it on the earlier records.

You can hear the home-cooked ease. The grooves are loose and unhurried, blues-rock warmed all the way through with soul, everybody breathing in the same room. Tedeschi shares the lead vocals with Mike Mattison, and Rolling Stone's Will Hermes heard a band that added up to more than its parts and was still getting better. AllMusic went further, saying the group had never sounded so organic or so free. Live from the Fox Oakland followed.
