"Bound for Glory" comes off Revelator, the Tedeschi Trucks Band album from 2011, and the credits alone tell you how big an operation this was. Susan Tedeschi sings and plays guitar alongside Derek Trucks, two Burbridges hold down the middle (Kofi on Hammond organ and grand piano, Oteil on bass), and two drummers, Tyler Greenwell and J.J. Johnson, keep the rhythm rolling like a Southern revival tent.
There's a full horn line too, Maurice Brown on trumpet, Saunders Sermons on trombone and Kebbi Williams on sax, plus backing vocals from Mike Mattison, Mark Rivers and Ryan Shaw. Mattison wrote it with Tedeschi and Trucks, and Trucks produced it with Jim Scott.
