Tedeschi Trucks Band - Anyhow

- Susan Tedeschi, started out back in the 1980s as a solo act, playing guitar and singing. She was doing gigs at bars around Southern New England, where she was born and raised. I remember seeing her perform many times back in the day, at a little dive bar around the corner from my house, called "The Hungry Tiger." We drank together and chatted a few times, before she was so successful and famous. "The Tiger," as it is affectionately called by locals, is still open to date. It is still owned by the same guy, and still has live music every night. (Cut back during the Pandemic obviously)

Susan Tedeschi went on to achieve great success as both a guitarist and singer. Her voice has been described as a blend of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin. She had released 7 solo albums between 1995 to 2008. In 2001, she married Derek Trucks. In case you aren't familiar with him, Derek Trucks is an awesome lead and slide guitarist. He is the nephew of the late Butch Trucks, longtime drummer for the Allman Brothers. Derek also became an official member of The Allman Brothers Band in 1999, as well.

The couple formed an American blues and blues rock group in 2010, called The Tedeschi Trucks Band. Their debut album, Revelator (2011), won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Blues Album. The band has released four studio and two live albums. This is one of their charting original singles performed live. Check it out, crank it up, and comment below.
