Tedeschi Trucks channel the Staples

Friday night I want to see the Tedeschi Trucks Band, out on tour to promote their album Revelator. (Video of songs from that album on my June 29, 2001 post) As part of the encore they performed "Wade in the Water". While they were singing I got the feeling they were channeling The Staple Singers from over 40 years ago. Below is the Tedeschi Trucks Band's version of the song, followed by a 1968 version of it performed by The Staple Singers. Someday I would like to hear Mavis and Susan sing this together.

Tedeschi Trucks Band
