Susan Tedeschi Disc Worth The 'Wait'
Susan Tedeschi's Tone-Cool label debut "Just Won't Burn" earned
the budding blues artist a surprise Grammy Award nomination in
2000 for best new artist -- not to mention non-stop comparisons
with Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin.
Tedeschi certainly is well aware of the genre success of that
1998 entry as she dives into the promotion of the follow-up,
"Wait for Me," released Nov. 19 via Tone-Cool/Artemis. But she
also sees an opportunity to broaden her base after the four-year
break.
"This is a more mature record in the way that some of the tunes
are more diverse," she says. "I want to cross over from blues and
get out to all audiences whenever possible. I've never considered
myself to be just a blues singer-though maybe my guitar playing
is more locked into the blues style. So, I'm trying not to limit
myself."
"Wait for Me" was co-produced by the artist with the late Tom
Dowd. It features such stellar support musicians as her guitarist
husband, Derek Trucks; Southern-rock fave Col. Bruce Hampton; and
renowned Chuck Berry keyboard collaborator Johnnie Johnson.
Tedeschi cites such folk-influenced fare as her cover of Bob
Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and her own
gospel-tinged "The Feeling Music Brings" and "more poppy love
song" "Wrapped in the Arms of Another" as examples of the album's
expanded approach.
The release of "Wait for Me" was delayed somewhat by the recent
birth of Tedeschi's son, Charlie. After a November stint with the
post-Grateful Dead act the Other Ones, she took on a small-venue
tour of eight markets in December (Minneapolis, Madison, Wis.,
Seattle, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Denver, Boston, and New
York). She plans to resume touring next month, with dates
scheduled to begin Feb. 20 in Tampa, Fla.
