Tedeschi Trucks Band - Making I Am The Moon (part 6 - Pasaquan)

The fifth and most ambitious studio project of TTB's storied career: I Am The Moon, an epic undertaking in four albums and 24 original songs. Inspired by a mythic Persian tale of star-crossed lovers and emotionally driven by the isolation and disconnection of the pandemic era, I Am The Moon totals more than two hours of new music and will be released in successive months beginning with I Am The Moon - I. Crescent, available on CD and digital, Friday, June 3rd.

In addition TTB will present an immersive visual companion to each audio release. The decision to sequence and release I Am The Moon in four distinct episodes came "when we started thinking of records we love," says Derek, citing Axis: Bold as Love, the 1967 LP by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. "It's 36 minutes long. That's the way to digest a record." With that approach in mind, TTB will present I Am The Moon: The Films, combining studio and performance footage with atmospheric photography and imagery capturing the music’s kaleidoscopic textures. The corresponding films will debut three days prior to each audio release, offering our loyal community an early opportunity to digest each album in its entirety as a communal listening and viewing experience via the band’s YouTube channel. The first episode debuts on Tuesday, May 31st at 6:00pm Pacific/9:00pm ET.

The more I listen to Pasaquan, the more it becomes one of my favorite songs. I'll have to visit the site the next time I make a trip to the Southeast.

Just saw Derek do this song live in Gainesville. My new favorite. Met him and Susan backstage. Such nice and talented people.

So looking forward to hearing this track live in November. And All The Love. And Soul Sweet Song. And the title track and, well, any of them really. Oh and Mike looking hot in his glasses. Can't wait!

A truly fabulous band. Long may they reign!!!

I have been a fan for 10+ years. Every project has been more ambitious and thoughtful than the last. I am The Moon will be hard to top, but I'm sure you guys will figure out something! Thank you for your devotion to real music.

I hope in 50 years cutting edge musicians are seen in interviews like this, talking about Derek and Susan, and all they've brought to our planet.

I heard Pasaquan live at the London Palladium on 4th November 2022. It absolutely blew my mind, the sublime fusion between Derek, Gabe, Brandon, Issac and Tyler just gave me Goose Bumps! Hearing this story might just explain why 🙂

[markhopkinsmusic]

[jamesmoseley]

Susan, Derek and all the musicians around the band it's a grandiose gift ♥️ Many greetings from Germany 🤗

Pasaquan embraces the sound of Georgia and north Florida. I cannot appropriately describe in words what this instrumental means to me. Thank you for another groundbreaking album. Regards to Susan. Grew up down the street from her in Hanover, Ma. Brother in-law went to Norwell High and lived on Old Oaken Bucket Road. My Mom was a frequent shopper at Tedeschi's Super Market in Rockland, Ma. Great memories. Be safe and thank you both for bringing such a positive vibe into my life.
