My music bud turned me on to her - she was here in Newport at the Sunset Festival - last year I think it was - but I had to work and missed her.
She's kinda got this early (as in
real early) Bonnie Raitt thing going on with some Etta James in there too - the new album is good, just borrowed it from my bud to burn, it's called
Back to the River.
Thought I remembered someone saying she was from the Cape originally - maybe part of the Tedeschi Market family, maybe?
Huh - just read the liner notes, Derek Trucks co-wrote a lot of the tunes and plays slide on a bunch of the tracks.
Give her a listen if you haven't yet - it's on the top of my playlist lately.
