Watch Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Epic ‘I Am the Moon: III. The Fall’ Film
The third instalment of the band’s four-part album/film series is now available to watch on YouTube.
Grammy-winning soul rockers Tedeschi Trucks Band – fronted by electric guitar luminaries Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi – have released the third instalment of their epic quadruple album/film series on YouTube.
Ahead of the I Am the Moon. III: the Fall digital and CD release this Friday, July 29th, fans can now stream the album-length companion film from director Alix Lambert.
Taking inspiration from the “Romeo and Juliet of the East” Layla and Majnun poetry, The Fall continues I Am The Moon's themes of passion and despair, with singers/guitarists Susan Tedeschi and Mike Mattison taking the songwriting lead along with keyboardist/singer Gabe Dixon.
The Fall begins with "the vivid hurt and explicit challenge of "Somehow," an easy-rolling groove that soon turns into full-blown soul power," notes David Fricke in his bio notes.
"How many times will you walk away?/How many times is the price I pay too high?" muses Tedeschi in the song’s opening lines…
Appearing in four regular instalments, the I Am the Moon album and film releases have had fans on the edge of their seats in recent months as Tedeschi Trucks Band drip-fed each part in sequence.
Following the release of I Am the Moon: I. Crescent on June 3rd, I Am the Moon: II. Ascension dropped four weeks later on July 1st.
