Condor Posted October 2, 2014 #1 Posted October 2, 2014 While catching a rerun of the 2007 Eric Clapton CrossRoads Concert I ran into a set that really grabbed me. The Group was the Tedeschi Truck Band, and their lead singer is Susan Tedeschi. I'd never heard of them before, but I'm a fan now... I love a soulful singer and great guitar. This set had it all. Found a cut on YouTube. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Freebird Posted October 2, 2014 #2 Posted October 2, 2014 I've been listening to Susan Tedeschi for years. Have at least two or three of her CDs. Really enjoy her music.
Motorcycle Mike Posted October 2, 2014 #3 Posted October 2, 2014 Isn't Derek Trucks Butch Trucks son? I hear a strong Allman Bros. influance there. Thanks for the link.
M61A1MECH Posted October 2, 2014 #4 Posted October 2, 2014 I believe Susan's husband plays or at least did play in the Allman Brothers band for a while. They live just out side of Jacksonville , FL, I have also been listening to her music for a few years, first heard of her on NPR believe it or not. If you are are Clapton fan, here is one that you may not have heard of, J.J. Cale, had a very strong influence on Clapton and Mark Knopfler. J.J. Cale actually wrote :Cocaine" and "After Midnight", he passed away sometime last year. Clapton and Knopfler have done a tribute album to him.
Condor Posted October 2, 2014 Author #6 Posted October 2, 2014 I've been listening to Susan Tedeschi for years. Have at least two or three of her CDs. Really enjoy her music. I guess I'm a Johnny come lately, and missed a lot according to YouTube. In the process of catching up.... There's also a cut of the entire set with Little by Little, and Day by Day. LBL was pretty good,, and Susan can pick a pretty mean guitar, but DBD knocked it outta the park.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUOhnHggl6E
Motorcycle Mike Posted October 2, 2014 #7 Posted October 2, 2014 I looked it up, Derek is Butches nephew not son. Yea, I knew of J.J.'s influence on Clapton and Knopfler but had not heard of his passing.
dave_wells Posted October 2, 2014 #8 Posted October 2, 2014 I was at this show in 2012 This is worth the entire 28 minutes They came out and jammed with Sam Bush [ame= ] [/ame]
djh3 Posted October 2, 2014 #9 Posted October 2, 2014 I have listened to her for a few years now. I think one of the first exposures was on a Double Trouble album they released. As for the Trucks kid, MAN!!! You think he is good now. Check out when he was 13!! But you think of the guys he got to hang with growing up and listen to. Dickey Betts, Greg Allman, Warren Haynes. Steve you are correct. Derek and susan live outside of Jacksonville. Grew up on ABB Marshal Tucker
videoarizona Posted October 2, 2014 #10 Posted October 2, 2014 J.J. Cale's music, Susan's Band....nice stuff...thanks for the reminders. I tend to forget some of the good things in life.... david
Freebird Posted October 2, 2014 #11 Posted October 2, 2014 Another one that I like and I came across about the same time as Susan is Beth Hart. Like her music also. I was given CDs by both of these ladies about 15 or 16 years ago by a friend in Dallas. Been listening to them ever since.
M61A1MECH Posted October 3, 2014 #12 Posted October 3, 2014 Still very partial to Emmy Lou Harris, when she and Mark Knopfler did an their "All the Road Running" album I bought it as soon as it hit the stores, still listen to parts of it almost every day. Interesting bit of trivia, she and I share a birthday, April 2, she is a few years older than me, but not many.
djh3 Posted October 3, 2014 #13 Posted October 3, 2014 The brassy kind of lady singers kind of get me too. I guess Janis Joplin was probably one of the first I heard like that. Bonnie Rait fits in there, and lately I have been liking Pink. Oh yea Bette Midler, Malisa Ethridge too. Good thing I got Pandora.

Always been a Joplin Fan since way back when. Etheridge 'The One', Pink 'There's a Party Going On', Joss Stone. And now Tedeschi with 'Anyday'.. I bounce all over the place in what I like to listen too. Also Like Dion, Groben, Broadway, Spirit in the Sky, Old Time R&R'... etc. I also have an old CD of 'Starbucks on the Delta' with some of the old time delta blues artists... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef-f-l2Pbn8
djh3 Posted October 3, 2014 #15 Posted October 3, 2014 Dang you Condor. You post something about a video I go look and then next thing I know I have killed like 2 hours or more. Grrr .
Condor Posted October 3, 2014 Author #16 Posted October 3, 2014 Dang you Condor. You post something about a video I go look and then next thing I know I have killed like 2 hours or more. Grrr . Well I just blew 20 mins before I realized what was happening. Addictive ain't it....
djh3 Posted October 3, 2014 #17 Posted October 3, 2014 Yup You look up the one somebody lists. Then you see something else that looks interesting and then you start the way back machine. Next thing I knew I was watching a Grand funk Railroad concert filmed live in like 78 or something. LOL I was looking one night after seeing this good gal that plays bass. It was on Palladia, kind of like a concert channel owned by VH1 I think. Anyways she can play and made one of the best guitar players shake his head with her performance. About 1.25 if you want to skip ahead.
IH Truck Guy Posted October 4, 2014 #18 Posted October 4, 2014 If ya like Susan,you might like this.... For 14 years old,on some of her songs,she sounds like she's been singing the blues in smokey pool halls for 25 years. Pride of Fargo,ND. [ame] [/ame]

[/QUOTE] She's good, but not as brassy or soulful for my taste... Give her a few more years and I bet she'll be awesome....
Freebird Posted October 5, 2014 #20 Posted October 5, 2014 Did you ever check out Beth Hart. Along with Susan, one of my favorites.
Condor Posted October 5, 2014 Author #21 Posted October 5, 2014 Did you ever check out Beth Hart. Along with Susan, one of my favorites. Just checked her out, and she's really good, but I didn't fall in love with her... Did I ever mention I'm a sucker for red heads.... Her albums would make for some great riding sounds....
cowpuc Posted October 5, 2014 #22 Posted October 5, 2014 Did you ever check out Beth Hart. Along with Susan, one of my favorites. May sound weird but Beth Hart's music/style reminds me alot of Janis Joplin..
Freebird Posted October 5, 2014 #23 Posted October 5, 2014 She has been often compared to Joplin. Some think that she is ever better. I have a list on my MP3 that I use when riding...among other it includes Susan Tedeshci, Beth Hart, Bob Seger. Turn it up and hit the twists....life is good.
IH Truck Guy Posted October 5, 2014 #24 Posted October 5, 2014 Another reason we're all friends. Cuz we all have awesome taste in music.....
IH Truck Guy Posted June 22, 2015 #25 Posted June 22, 2015 Sure,I'll be that guy to dig up an old thread.. Check out these amazing kids. This teacher really runs the school of rock....Pretty deep song for young kids,but the singer nailed it.
