Grammy-winning blues musician Susan Tedeschi shares her story of how a blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl from Massachusetts came to possess one of the most respected voices of anyone in her genre (B.B. King counts as but one of her many famous fans.) Throughout the episode Tedeschi returns again and again to what it means to be a successful woman in her business – from leading her own band as it grew from three people to twelve, to the strong camaraderie she found with fellow artists like the Indigo Girls and Sheryl Crow during Lilith Fair, to the motivation that naysayers unwittingly fueled her with to succeed. And to top it all off, Tedeschi closes the episode with a live performance of the title track “Let Me Get By” off the new album by the Tedeschi Trucks Band, which she founded with her husband, guitar prodigy and Allman Brothers alumnus Derek Trucks.
