Song Review(s): Tedeschi Trucks Band - “Got My Mojo Working” and “I Got You” (Live, Aug. 9, 2026)
Susan Tedeschi’s mojo is working just fine, thank you very much much.
That much was clear as Tedeschi handled lead-guitar and lead-vocal duties when Tedeschi Trucks Band opened its Aug. 9 show in Nevada with Muddy Waters’ arrangement of “Got My Mojo Working.” After setting the pace for the TTB choir, which responded lustily to Tedeschi’s powerful calls, the frontwoman dug into a searing blues-rock solo while her husband and co-band-leader Derek Trucks handled rhythm.
TTB gave away “Mojo” and “I Got You” as bait for the pay-per-view livestream from the gig and together, they put the dichotomy of the modern group in stark focus.
Where “Mojo” is gritty and powerful - an homage combined with modern aural aesthetic, “I Got You” is a throwback pop song with a touch of soul and an abundance of cliché. It was a strange followup - a jarring shift in style and content that might’ve worked better after a number that fell somewhere between it in “Mojo.”
Performance-wise, it’s as strong as the opener. But “I Got You” is a weak song.
