Tedeschi Trucks Band - Let Me Get By

Third studio album on 180-gram double LP

Let Me Get By is an album of firsts — in addition to being the first TTB record Trucks produced on his own, and the first on which he and Tedeschi wrote all the songs within the TTB family, it's Trucks' first album since his 15-year run as a member of the Allman Brothers concluded when the group disbanded last year. In Trucks' own words, "That's what I hear in the music on this new album — this feeling that we're now putting 100% of what we have into this band, not going back to anything else, everyone giving it their all."

The songs are distinct for their communal nature, with each band member contributing to the album's varied and diverse sonic textures. Opener "Anyhow" perfectly embodies the group's newfound liberation; with Tedeschi's voice levitating above a symphony of towering horns and Trucks' inventive soaring slide guitar tones. Elsewhere, "Don't Know What It Means" serves up a funky church sermon, and "Crying Over You" delivers a classic 70's Philly soul throwback.

Combining inspired Memphis soul, electric rhythm & blues, country, rock and classic song craft; TTB has captured the admiration of both concert audiences and critics worldwide. Since their inception in 2010, TTB have seen both of their previous albums debut in the top 15 of the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and won a Grammy for their debut album Revelator, which was hailed by Rolling Stone as a "masterpiece."
