WAIT FOR ME was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
WAIT FOR ME is the follow-up to Susan Tedeschi's hugely successful 1998 release, JUST WON'T BURN. It mixes a few originals with potent takes on songs by Bob Dylan ("Don't Think Twice"), Paul Pena ("Gonna Move"), and others. Her vocals blend earthiness with soaring earnestness. Similarly, the arrangements are rooted by a solid rhythm section over which stylish soloists take flight (among them are her husband, guitarist Derek Trucks, and legendary pianist Johnnie Johnson). The utter conviction of the performances seamlessly melds the assorted genres which inform Tedeschi's music--rock, soul, blues, country, and folk. Some of the tracks on WAIT FOR ME were produced by the late Tom Dowd, making them some of the last recordings by the legendary producer of everyone from Aretha Franklin to John Coltrane.
Industry Reviews
...WAIT FOR ME only proves further that Susan Tedeschi has a lot to offer...
Living Blues (05/01/2003)
3 stars out of 5 - [A] storming, adult, modern blues excursion.
Uncut (04/01/2004)
...Tadeschi pares back the rock edge of her debut for soulful ballads and roadhouse rambles that stress craft....She knows the blues and delivers the licks to prove it... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (11/29/2002)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Tedeschi's vocals, her catholic approach to roots music and her knack for pop-soul balladry...beg comparison to Bonnie Raitt....from Memphis-style soul...to slow torchy blues...
