Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Rhythm and Blues to lay back to
Ms. Tedeschi has a sweet soulful sound with an undertow, so watch out. It will suck you in and take you down. The kind of gospel that will make you say "Sweet Jesus, I didn't know it could be like this". As a matter of fact, I'll be singing Protect My Child on Sunday in the Sanctuary. JK! There is enough here to satisfy boys and girls and help them satisfy each other.
Rating: - Great stuff....a soulful new blues standard
This is the first Susan Tedeschi CD that I have purchased. I initially searched for her music because of comparisons to Bonnie Raitt's style. After listening though, I realize she deserves to stand alone without the comparisons because of her great musical abilities and her own style. I am very pleased with my purchase. On this CD she makes the covers her own...very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to building my Susan Tedeschi collection. Hope and Desire will stand the test of time.

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!
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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.
