Today, Tedeschi Trucks Band has released “They Don’t Shine”, the second single from the band’s forthcoming studio album, SIGNS. The upcoming release acts as the band’s first studio effort since 2016’s Let Me Get By, and is scheduled to arrive later this month on February 15th via Fantasy/Concord Records.

The 11-track album was co-produced by TTB leader and guitarist Derek Trucks along with Jim Scott and Bobby Tis, and will include all original songs which were recorded live on two-inch analog tape at their Swamp Raga Studio. TTB brethren Warren Haynes, Oliver Wood, Doyle Bramhall II, and Marc Quiñones also appear on the record. Some of the tracks to be included on the album are titled, “Strengthen What Remains”, “Still Your Mind”, “All The World”, and “Hard Case”. The latter was written by Mike Mattison, Derek Trucks, and Susan Tedeschi, and was debuted as the album’s soulful lead single last month.

Today’s release, “They Don’t Shine”, is described by the band as a “double shot of straight-ahead rock n roll, complete with a tight 8 bars of guitar heroics by Susan [Tedeschi] and a long fade out that leaves the chorus dancing between your ears even after the song is long gone.” Listen for yourself:

“SIGNS reflects on the losses suffered by the band in the past few years while still finding cause for hope and celebration in the beauty of life and nature,” the band mentioned in a statement shared to their Facebook last week, dedicating the album to their friend and mentor Col Bruce Hampton (Ret.). Other losses include the recent deaths of TTB mentors like Leon Russell and Allman Brothers Band members Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman.

In addition to their upcoming tour dates–including multi-night runs at the Saenger Theatre, Ryman Auditorium, Warner Theatre, and more–Tedeschi Trucks Band will celebrate the official release of SIGNS with a show at Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, February 20th. Tickets for the album release show at Brooklyn Academy of Music are on sale now. Every pair of tickets purchased for this show will come with a digital download of the new album.
