Everybody's Talkin is the second album and the first live album by the 11-piece Tedeschi Trucks Band and was released in 2012 by Sony Masterworks. It's been released as a 2-CD set as well as a three disc vinyl set. The title comes from the song carrying the same name, formerly a hit for Harry Nilsson. The band's cover is a hybrid of the Nilsson and Bill Withers versions.[1]

The songs on the album are a compilation of recordings from the following three nights

  • October 25, 2011 at The Danforth Music Hall, Toronto, ON by Embrace Presents
  • October 28, 2011 at the Warner Theatre, Washington, D.C.
  • October 29, 2011 at Fairfield Theatre Compagny at The Klein, Bridgeport, CT

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Trucks stated many of the tracks came from the almost-cancelled Bridgeport, CT show. "There was a real loose feeling to it, which ended up being great. We used a lot of stuff from that night."[1]

Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek wrote "It's an unusual live record because its balance of sonic precision and stage-born kinetics is perfect—this band transitions seamlessly between R&B, blues, rock, gospel, and jazz. These performances never succumb to mere jam band clichés... Everybody's Talkin' is what every live album should be: an accurate, exciting reflection of a hot band playing full-throttle." He especially praised Tedeschi as "among the truly great singers in modern blues and rock; by turns graceful and grainy, her expression reaches the spiritual in execution."[3] Will Layman of PopMatters praised the performances and called it "the kind of music that shamelessly moves at you with emotion and soul".[4] Doug Collette of All About Jazz generally praised the album, especially the sound, but was critical of the length of the songs, commenting on the "shortage of instrumental fireworks".[2]

The review aggregator site, Metacritic calculated an average score of 75 based on 6 reviews.[6]
