Product Description: The sweet, husky mix of sugar and sandpaper in two-time Grammy nominee Susan Tedeschi's voice breathes sultry life into the art of classic soul singing on Hope and Desire, her fourth album. It's somewhat disappointing that she's chosen to defer her own songwriting in favor of classics and obscurities by Ray Charles ("Tired of My Tears"), Dylan ("Lord Protect My Child"), the Rolling Stones ("You Got the Silver"), and others. She's also left her guitar at home, assigning the exceptional playing to Clapton sideman Doyle Bramhall, Jr., and her husband, the Allman Brothers' Derek Trucks. But it's thrilling how Tedeschi applies her gospel-trained vocalizing to these 12 numbers, all tales of hope and desire, delivered at an unhurried pace so the delicate filigrees of her phrasing make them resonate with absolute emotional conviction. By the time the album closes with the gut-bucket blues "The Dangerzone," Teseschi's easily made the case for her third Grammy nod. --Ted Drozdowski


Customer Reviews


5 stars hazardous duty
What is the definition of "DANGER ZONE"?
The answer is,when a young singer attempts to cover a song that has been done by the astounding Ellen Macgillwaine.
Wow!
Susan Tedeschi survives!


5 stars Susan Tedeschi Hope and Desire
Susan is the brightest new light in the world of REAL, non machine generated R&B, blues, and rock music, and Hope and Desire is just her latest fine effort. In a time when it is rare to hear a song that is not smothered with computers and machines generating sounds that simulate musicians and instruments, hearing people, well actually singing and playing is a refreshing pleasure to what we are exposed to in this non-musical day and age. Susan is down to earth and genuine, and Hope and Desire emulates those feelings.


5 stars She's got the chops
Make no mistake about it, Susan Tedeschi's got the musical chops sorely missing from a lot of contemporary artists.

I first heard her singing "Kansas City" with Willie Nelson on his "Milk Cow Blues" CD, and found her vocals to be stunning, which still holds on "Hope and Desire". I love her rendition of "You Got the Silver".

She's made my list of favorite contemporary musicians. I'm looking forward to listening more music from her.


5 stars Great CD!
This was a little different from her usual blues/rock style, but a very good different; with a more gospel feel. Still soulful and unmistakably Susan Tedeschi. Yes, I would recommend this CD, a great addition to any music lovers repertoire.


5 stars A must have for Susan Tedeschi fans
Since discovering Susan Tedeschi I am absolutely hooked....her voice is like Bonnie Raitt on steroids!! Her voice is rough, but not forced, very sincere and natural. This album covers so many great songs it's hard to pick a favorite, but I'd have to say her Stones cover of "You Got the Silver" is amazing. "Share Your Love", an Aretha Franklin cover, is phenomenal as well; actually, there's not a bad song on this cd. Buy it - you won't be disappointed!
