In the years since she captured the public's musical imagination with her 1998 breakthrough album Just Won't Burn, the multi-talented musician has established a formidable reputation as a deeply expressive singer, a prodigiously talented guitarist and distinctive songwriter. She's won a large and loyal audience for her ability to craft elements of classic blues, rock, R&B, folk and gospel into a distinctly individual style that honors rootsy musical traditions without being subservient to them.

Hope and Desire, Tedeschi's fourth album marks a substantial departure for the versatile artist, presenting Tedeschi in the role of interpretive vocal stylist. She puts a soulful, unmistakably personal spin on a heartfelt set of songs drawn from such diverse sources as Ray Charles ("Tired of My Tears"), the Rolling Stones ("You Got the Silver"), Bob Dylan ("Lord Protect My Child"), Aretha Franklin ("Share Your Love with Me"), Donny Hathaway ("Magnificent Sanctuary Band") and Fontella Bass ("Soul of A Man").

"I love to do my own material and create new stuff, but at the same time, there's so many great songs out there," Tedeschi notes. "What I was really going for was to make a great soul record, and these songs all have soul, in one way or another. They all had different things about them that really stood out for me, and they were all songs that haven't necessarily been heard by a lot of people."

Don’t miss Susan Tedeschi perform live with special guest James Hunter, Saturday, November 22 at the Barrymore Theatre.

“I think it’s a pivotal record for me – I like this one a lot,” Susan Tedeschi says of her new Verve Forecast release Back to the River. “I think it’s really emotional, but it’s not really a blues record.
