Susan Tedeschi Band: Don't Think Twice (live 2005)

http://susantedeschi.com/events.aspx
10 August 2005, Long Island, New York. An enchanted evening of music under the stars. What a voice; what a song!
Susan Tedeschi was born on November 9, 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts but was raised in Norwell, Massachusetts. Tedeschi had always been musically inclined, and made her debut public performance as a 5 year old understudy in a Broadway musical, which she enjoyed, as well as singing for family members, and listening to her father's record collection of old vinyl recordings of Mississippi John Hurt, and Lightning Hopkins.
Susan opened for the Rolling Stones in 2003 and played in huge venues, gaining national exposure. Somewhat surprisingly, the gig wasn't financially lucrative. According to Tedeschi, "They pay, but it's not great. I don't make any money 'cause I've got to pay all my [sidemen]. I'll be lucky if I break even." In 2004, Tedeschi was featured on the PBS show, Austin City Limits, flanked by William Green, on Hammond organ, Jason Crosby, playing keyboards, violin, and vocals, bassist Ron Perry, and Jeff Sipe, on drums.
Susan Tedeschi's voice has been described as a blend of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, though she explains this is due to sharing the same influences as the two. Her guitar playing is influenced by Buddy Guy, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King and Doyle Bramhall II.
In 2001, she married Allman Brothers Band slide guitarist Derek Trucks, who is bandleader and lead guitarist of The Derek Trucks Band. Tedeschi and Trucks met in New Orleans when she was the opening act on the Allman Brothers Band's 1999 Summer Tour. They have two children; Charles Khalil Trucks, born in 2002, is named for saxophonist Charlie Parker, guitarist Charlie Christian, and author Khalil Gibran. Sophia Naima Trucks, born in 2004, takes her unusual middle name from the John Coltrane ballad, which was also the jazz legend's first wife's name. They reside in Jacksonville, Florida.

This is a wonderful and soulful voice. I love that 'smoky' timbre. Bravissima Susan and mille grazie.

Awesome talent - sung with real feeling and heart unlike some of the tripe that passes as music...as maryzhol1 put it in her comment. I just get goosebumps and a lump in my throat every time I watch this. In fact I signed up to You Tube account just so I could post this. I would love to have been there - indeed I hope she comes to the Uk again soon. Brilliant talent on the keyboards too. Long live You Tube.

great version and performance of a fabulous song, Susan is a great musician and a great voice, sad how great artists like herself, Sarah, Melissa, Sheryl, Alanis, Diana, and many others don't get the airplay they deserve, and instead we're stuck with the Britneys and Shakiras of the planet, sad, sad.
