Hey everybody welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. I have been wanting to do a vocal coach
reaction to Susan Tedeschi for a long time Tedeschi Tedeschi I'm not sure
except I see her name and I was turned on her way back when she first did this
song called "Rock Me Right". So I'm gonna put a couple of earlier Susan Tedeschi
songs in the description so you guys can hear but she's just a force to be
reckoned with I know a lot of people like Beth Hart and so whatnot so she's
definitely in that league in that category. So but anyway she has the
Tedeschi Trucks band so Derek Trucks has got to be one of the greatest slide
players that's ever lived and he's still living today so we get to enjoy him. So
if you get a chance to check out the Tedeschi Trucks band I strongly
recommend it anyway the song's called "Anyhow" and we're gonna start with
the first tune I'm gonna do two tunes this one and "Angel From Montgomery". So
it'll showcase a different side of her as well. So with that said let's do this.
Sounds like he's open tuned to E.
There goes Susan.
She's awesome.
By the way I gotta point something else out here. You're.. it's obviously live right they're
doing it like some kind of studio house studio kind of thing and you know she's
singing through an sm58. I would have thought maybe they would have you know
up their game a little bit on the microphone but it sounds killer and I'm
watching these Sony hundred pair headphones for the lead vocals and
believe it or not you guys always ask me hey you know what kind of gear that's
reasonable and that's not too expensive and those pair of headphones, those
Sony headphones man I've got them all over the place.
They're almost disposable they're like a hundred bucks they last forever and they
sound really good and they're very loud and they're closed back too. So for you
gear heads out there they're looking for cheaper pieces of gear. It's hard to beat
an SM58 like this one an old one not the new one but the older version of
that and those Sony headphones man they're great but anyway we're supposed
to be talking about bands and singing I just thought I'd put a little slight
note in there for you guys for that.
Nice drum tone.
Good groove.
Ah two drummers. Nice.
Good tone, good pitch.
Great groove man.
Hey where are the back singers.. I heard a bunch of background singers and I don't see them in here. They've got to
be in another room somewhere or something but tell me guys
straight up killing it. The tones are killer, the drums sound great, the groove
is smoking awesome, her pitch is killer, she's got killer tone, Derek's phenomenal
guitar player. I'm looking forward to this I just want to know where those
background singers are hiding.
Oh horn section.
There they are.
Nice piece.
That is like the coolest image it's at like you know 2 minutes and 17 seconds
you got.. he needs to have like a cigarette coming out of his mouth.
He's got the sax just waiting first part he's obviously reading a chart and you
got just down the hallway you got Susan you got Derek and just kind of this thing.
You know jamming doesn't get any better than that or like when you're recording
with your Bros and you're doing the whole thing live, there's just something
about that live feel where everyone's grooving together and it hits the sweet
spot of a pocket and you're in it and energy is just you just can't replace it
it's really cool.
Good tone. Good pitch.
It's hard to beat a live recording like
this guys.
Okay have any of you guys heard anybody miss a
single note in all of this. we're into this thing for you know three minutes or
whatever it is 320 220. I can't quite read it I need glasses but anyway you know up to
a couple three minutes or whatever not a missed note, flawless performance live. This
is how it's done.
I want to be part of their background section.
Put me in that background section man. I'll light them up.
Admit it. Everyone of you guys out there wish you had a back.. backup band that
sounded like that. So if your fronting that and that band. The coolest thing about
having a band like that is that you almost can do no wrong. I'm not kidding I
mean they're just so tight and they've got your back at every level and you
just know that no matter what they can carry the weight so you can just kind of
go out there in front and do whatever you got to do and that's what's going on
here, it's pretty cool.
Gregg Allman eat your heart out.
Come on Susan let me sing it like (sings)
Bravo, bravo. Alright I gotta just I got a dig big dig in. So that's kind of a
bluesy piece haven't heard that before. I have heard this piece before I haven't
watched this video yet but it's called "Angel From Montgomery". It's an old John
Prine tune and I know Bonnie Raitt did it and a lot of other people have done it
too but Susan is just a master. So I wanted to connect these two songs
together and let's just do this.
It's what it makes me feel like going into it.
So sexy.
Nice Susan.
It's weird cause I've heard this song like my recollection. So I
haven't seen this like I said, is the album version and she's got a whole band
with her on the album version so it's a little fuller but she's killing it just
doing like a solo thing. So it also really showcases her abilities to be
that naked and exposed in an environment like this so let's continue.
Oh there's the band ok.
Alright they got some other instruments coming in.
Sorry but I'm just a sucker for like a great melody, a upfront vocal, telling a great
story, selling the story well. Just roots rock, down middle America stuff. I just
love that stuff. It's kind of tough cause everything's become so electronic these
days that just great players just playing you know and improvising and
doing things and a lot of air in the sound and a lot of ebb and flow of just
energy and just creativity and sensitivity it's just I miss that a lot.
It's kind of interesting to hear blues played on a flute.
That' cool. Little Ian Anderson going on there.
Good note choices man that's cool.
Wouldn't it be cool to get Chris Stapleton to kind of like step on the stage for a minute
and kind of throw down for a bit and have some interaction. That'd be a lot of
fun right.
Sing it with me.
There's quite a bit of time left on this so something else has got to happen I
don't know what yet but I'm waiting.
Hope you guys like enjoy this as much as I do.
Ah here comes the man.
He's probably like at a potty break or something I don't know he's coming back on.
She's like how many times do I have to sing this before you like tune your
guitar and plug in. Come on Derek I've been waiting on you man where you been.
She's looking back.
I want to be at this concert.
He is so killer.
You know it's funny. I gotta share something. I'm sorry Derek I don't mean to destroy your solo.
We have what are called EMTs and they're people that try to give us advice on
how we should do our videos and stuff and I've I've yet to have them be be
right and they're always like cut out all the guitar solos and go straight to this
and do that and keep the energy going and it's like Derek Trucks, cut out the
guitar solo, you gotta be kidding me right. You're out of your mind.
I'm not cutting Derek Trucks guitar solo outta here. Cut yourself out let's listen to
Derek okay guys. You know what I mean.
Follow that one.
That's the reason I got in the music business right there folks. The guitar,
the singing all coming together with just a great band and just doing stuff
live and having a good time. Hopefully you guys had enjoyed this as much as I
