The Susan Tedeschi Band began in 1994 and featured Tom Hambridge and Adrienne Hayes. In 1995 Tedeschi began playing guitar and honing her skills. In December that year she released Better Days to regional audiences. Record contracts were difficult to keep together; however, recording sessions from 1997 were acquired by Richard Rosenblatt, and the band was signed to Tone-Cool Records and Just Won't Burn was released in February 1998 to rave reviews from blues publications.
During 1998 and 1999 Tedeschi toured extensively through out the United States and her spectacular stage presence and powerful voice drew larger crowds. Eventually Tedeschi was opening for John Mellencamp, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, The Allman Brothers Band, Taj Mahal and Bob Dylan. In 2000, Just Won't Burn reached gold record status, rare for such a production. She recorded two tracks with Double Trouble band members Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon for their album.
Tedeschi's voice has been described as a blend of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, though she explains this is due to sharing the same influences as the two. Her guitar playing is influenced by Buddy Guy, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King and Doyle Bramhall.
Tedeschi grew up in Norwell, Massachusetts and attended the Berklee College of Music where she received her bachelor of music in composition and performance. Tedeschi had always been musically inclined, performing in musicals, singing for family members, and listening to her father's record collection. She formed a band in high school called the Smoking Section at age 15, sang in a Gospel choir at Berklee and began sitting in with local blues jams at venues in Boston. In 2001, she married Derek Trucks, Allman Brothers guitar player, leader of The Derek Trucks Band, and nephew of founding Allmans drummer Butch Trucks. They have two children, Charlie and Sophia. They currently reside in Jacksonville,FL, and regularly collaborate on each other's albums.

Susan Tedeschi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look this way and I'll never stop
When you can't find what words to say
I'll know what you mean anyways
And you know what you're doing
You get right on up to it
I said, Lord, now it's alright
If you feel the night and then the mood is tight
But you know it
And you can see the light but there's no end in sight
But you know
I tell you somebody knows what you're talking about
I tell you somebody knows
I tell you somebody knows what you're talking about
I tell you somebody knows
You can feel it in your brain
When things don't feel quite the same
And you make it all about yourself
Get rid of all the hate and all the self doubt
Oh Lord, you'll be rocking tonight
Somebody will make you feel alright
Feel alright now
Oh, 'cause if you feel the knife and the mood is tight
And you know it
And you can see the light but there's no end in sight
And you know
That I'll do it again, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, oh, again now, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, oh, again now, oh, I would gladly do it
Yes, I'll do it again, ooh
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I tell you somebody knows what you're talking about
I tell you somebody knows
I tell you somebody knows what you're talking about
I tell you somebody knows
And I'll do it again, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, oh, again now, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, oh, I would gladly do it
Oh, I'll do it again, ooh, I would gladly, gladly do it
Oh, again, oh, again, oh, again
Oh Lord, I said again, Lord, oh again now
I would gladly do it, oh, Lord
Oh, again, oh, again now, oh, yeah now
I would gladly do it all over again, oh again
Oh yeah
