Elvish Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 It's hard to believe this woman isn't a household name yet. She's an accomplished (and Grammy nominated) songwriter, blues guitarist and singer often compared to the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin. Currently, she's in the studio recording her fourth album. See her web page here. Also, check out some samples of her music on allmusic.com. Let me know what you think!

Carl Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I have one of her albums, and I really like it. There's a great track on it called "Alone." I think she is (rightfully) considered Blues, which makes it hard for her to get airplay. She's definitely worth a listen. - Isn't she married to another Blues musician?

MuzikTyme Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yes! Derek Trucks, the excellent slide guitarist who is the nephew of Butch Trucks, longtime drummer of the Allman Brothers. Elvish, I agree that she should be a household name. Move over Bonnie Raitt. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Derek Trucks has his own band and also tours with the Allmans playing guitar. The couple met when Susan was opening for the Allmans - I don't remember the year, but I saw the show and it was awesome! Derek sat in with Susan's band for a number or two.

MuzikTyme Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I reckon the neck of his guitar wasn't the only thing his fingers were sliding on that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 It's hard to believe this woman isn't a household name yet.

Currently, she's in the studio recording her fourth album. See her web page here. Also, check out some samples of her music on allmusic.com. Let me know what you think! It seems that (despite few exceptions) a singer has to either slant some of his/her music towards kids and/or issue a groovy video for VH1 or MTV. And, re: Derek and Butch Trucks...There was a pitcher in the 50's-60's named Virgil Trucks. A little fiction and fact from Uncle's Almanac.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I absolutely love her. She was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy in 1999 but Christina Skank-ulera won. I do think Christina can sing, but Susan can saaaaaaang. She sings it like she has lived it, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I had never heard of her until Elvish got me on to her. She's fantastic! I'm really into blues, and any time I can find someone new(and a woman at that) I'm excited. I've got her first cd and am headin toward #2.
