"I think it's important to keep learning and trying new things, no
matter how old you are or how many records you've done," says Susan
Tedeschi. "A lot of times, people will find something that works for
them and just stick with that. But you have to keep an open mind and
stay open to new situations."
In the years since she captured the public's musical imagination with
her 1998 breakthrough album Just Won't Burn, the multi-talented musician
has established a formidable reputation as a deeply expressive singer, a
prodigiously talented guitarist and distinctive songwriter. She's won a
large and loyal audience for her ability to craft elements of classic
blues, rock, R&B, folk and gospel into a distinctly individual style
that honors rootsy musical traditions without being subservient to them.
Hope and Desire, Tedeschi's fourth album and her first for Verve
Forecast, marks a substantial departure for the versatile artist,
presenting Tedeschi in the role of interpretive vocal stylist. She puts
a soulful, unmistakably personal spin on a heartfelt set of songs drawn
from such diverse sources as Ray Charles ("Tired of My Tears"), the
Rolling Stones ("You Got the Silver"), Bob Dylan ("Lord Protect My
Child"), Aretha Franklin ("Share Your Love with Me"), Donny Hathaway
("Magnificent Sanctuary Band") and Fontella Bass ("Soul of A Man").
"I love to do my own material and create new stuff, but at the same
time, there's so many great songs out there," Tedeschi notes. "What I
was really going for was to make a great soul record, and these songs
all have soul, in one way or another. They all had different things
about them that really stood out for me, and they were all songs that
haven't necessarily been heard by a lot of people."
Although she's widely respected for her fiery guitar work, on Hope and
Desire Tedeschi concentrates on singing, leaving the lion's share of the
six-string duties to noted young axe hero Doyle Bramhall II. Three of
the album's tracks also feature guitar by Tedeschi's husband, Derek
Trucks, leader of his own successful group, the Derek Trucks Band, and
current member of the Allman Brothers Band.
The impetus for recording an album of covers initially arose out of
circumstance, but Tedeschi quickly embraced the creative challenge of
tackling outside material. "I had just written some new songs with my
band," she explains, "but with the birth of my daughter, Sophia, most of
them weren't really finished yet, so I didn't feel like we were ready to
make that record yet. I've wanted to record some old tunes by other
artists that I admire for a while and it seemed like the right time."
