When my love... comes down baby
I wanna give it to you
There ain't a thing... oh, you can do darlin'
I wanna give it to you
I said... I'm gonna give it to you
I said... I'm gonna give it to you

Oh, now when I... turn around baby
So slow and patiently
Oh, my thoughts fly straight to you darlin'... and cry out helplessly
They say... you need to be with me
They say... you need to be with me
Oh, they say... you need to be with me
Oh... you need to be with me

Now you know I need you baby
Oh, how I've got to make you see
That there's no other for you
You need to... you need to... you need to be with me

Oh, I stepped from plane to plane
So slow and cautiously
With all the stars about my head now... below my feet the sea
I say... you need to be with me
I say... you need to be with me
Oh, I say... you need to be with me
Oh, you need to... you need to... you need to...
Oh, come on and be with me...
Ohhhhhhhhhh...You need to be with me
I said... come on and be with me
Oh, you need to be with me
I said... you need to be with me

If you think she can sing, you should see her wail on the guitar. She's awesome.

Nice sequel from Derek Trucks to Susan Tedeschi. They're coming to San Diego for a Mother's Day concert. Mrs Squid knew about Trucks but she's catching on to Tedeschi. I just found out my neighbor has tickets too. Really looking forward to this.

Very nice. I did totally think I was listening to Bonnie Raitt though until I checked.

"Rock Me Right" sends bolts of lightning down my spine. This, however, is just the standard Bonnie Raitt treatment.
Posted 9 years ago by wgsu_1978    [ Reply ]
This one's OK, nothing more.  If you want to hear what kind of music she's capable of, listen to "Rock Me Right" from the same album.

Or perhaps too inspired. She sure can sing, but she sounds more like a copy of Bonnie Raitt to name one example.

I had great hopes for the album she put out with Derek Trucks, but every song, no every line she uses the same ad libs over and over till the point i literally pulled out my earphones.

 

No, not for me...

Maybe so people like me, who have never heard of Susan Tedeschi, can not only be introduced to her, but also thoroughly enjoy the song--as I did this one.

I am with you.  One of very few artists on RP that I absolutely cannot stand.  Why does every one of her songs have to have an extended OOOOOHHHHHHHH?

Methinks they fit together quite well. Considering that she was "only" 28 at the time of this song, she 's not bad compared to the soul artists I put her against. Haven't heard her lately, though.

Susan Tedeschi Live on Austin City Limits

"It's called "Wait For Me" from the album with the same name. The song is written by Felix Reyes (She says so at the end). If you like this song, you might like Ray Charles' "Drown In My Own Tears". 95% of the chord changes are the same. "     YossieT

"Dang! Susan where you been all my life? I just bought every CD that Amazon had of your music! You rock girl! "

"Susan is marvelous but this piano solo is incredible isn't ?  holy shit who is that on the keys? hes amazing."

"Amazing!"

Caught her at the Rhythm & Roots festival (Rhode Island) last summer. What a great performer! Highly recommended. I was very surprised how quiet her voice was between songs. She goes from those bold, screaming lyrics to the softest "thank you very much". Most endearing.

Dunno if any of y'all caught her on Austin City Limits, but she rocked. Not only a great voice, but a respectable guitarist as well. Special bonus, she's playing the ACL Music Fest at the end of this month. Can't wait! Likeable tune, though far from her best.

Good at continuing the depressive mood you established with earlier songs. If being made depressed is what one wants, that is excellent. But I hope you pick up the pace soon!

i suppose there is nothing wrong with this, but it is incredibly predictable down to the sustain on her vocals for extra emotional "effect". feels a little forced.
