Tedeschi Shares Her 'Hope And Desire'
Jonathan Cohen
Blues/soul artist Susan Tedeschi teams with producer Joe Henry on her new album, "Hope and Desire." Due Oct. 11 as the first release in a new deal with Verve Forecast, the 12-track set features interpretations of the Rolling Stones' "You Got the Silver," Bob Dylan's "Lord Protect My Child," Aretha Franklin's "Share Your Love With Me" and Ray Charles' "Tired of My Tears."
Tedeschi's husband, guitarist Derek Trucks, guests on three tracks, while fellow axeman Doyle Brahmhall III plays guitar on each cut. Other contributors include the Blind Boys Of Alabama on "Magnificent Sanctuary Band," keyboardist David Palmer and bassist Paul Bryan.
"Hope and Desire" is the follow-up to the former Tone-Cool/Artemis signee's 2002 effort "Wait for Me," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Blues Albums chart and reached No. 3 on the Top Independent Albums tally.
Tedeschi begins a fall tour Friday (Sept. 16) at the Telluride (Colo.) Bluegrass Festival.
Track list for "Hope and Desire":
"You Got the Silver"
"Soul of a Man"

"Tired of My Tears"
"Share Your Love With Me"

Bonnie Raitt- Souls Alike (Capitol)
Release Date: 9/13/05
Bonnie Raitt's albums often strain to encompass all that she is. Her eighteenth disc manages to showcase both the greasy bottleneck-blues guitarist and the pop-friendly mellow crooner, thanks to a lot of solid material sporting depth and detail. The slinky "Trinkets" looks back comically and lovingly on childhood possessions, while "God Was in the Water" captures the supernatural mystery of nature's elements. At fifty-five, Raitt still sounds sexy and undomesticated singing her keyboardist Jon Cleary's "Love on One Condition," and peaks vocally on the album's finale, "The Bed I Made," a jazzy piano torch song likely to snag the singer another Grammy. Throughout, Raitt holds her ground without digging a rut. (BARRY WALTERS)

I've listened to some song clips from Susan's "Hope And Desire." All I can say is WOW! That lady is a powerhouse and for the life of me I can't understand why she's so overlooked. This one sounds to me like it's going to be her best one yet, and I'm very much looking forward to it.
