The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited is a vibrant tribute to one of the most iconic live rock collaborations in music history. Originally led by Joe Cocker and the legendary keyboardist and bandleader Leon Russell in 1970, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a raucous, soulful tour that brought together a massive ensemble of musicians. In September of 2015, the Tedeschi Trucks Band—helmed by guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks and powerhouse vocalist Susan Tedeschi—revived this landmark event, infusing it with their own blend of Southern soul, blues, and rock. The revival concert, performed at the Lockn’ Festival, featured a star-studded lineup. Not only did TTB bring their usual 12-piece ensemble, but they also welcomed original Mad Dogs members such as Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, and Chris Stainton, along with contemporary collaborators including Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, and Dave Mason. The stage often swelled to over 20 musicians, echoing the original tour’s grand, communal spirit. Musically, the concert is a celebration of loose, joyful excess—just like the original. The setlist included classics like "The Letter," "Delta Lady," "Cry Me a River," and "With a Little Help from My Friends." The Tedeschi Trucks Band, known for their dynamic interplay and emotional depth, breathe fresh life into these songs. Tedeschi’s searing vocals blend beautifully with the robust horn section and gospel-inspired backing vocals, while Trucks channels the soulful fire of the original arrangements through his slide guitar, adding his signature fluidity and emotion.
