Susan Tedeschi's deep-throated wail, drenched in no-nonsense conviction, burns a bright trail behind Bonnie Raitt on the Tedeschi Trucks Band's new CD, "Everybody's Talkin'." With hubby Derek Trucks' alternately muscular and twinkling blues guitar bridging the gap between greasy Delta slide and sitar slink plus a gritty horn section and backup singers, this band raises one helluva ruckus.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band performs at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., Seattle; $25.75-$64.25 (877-784-4849 or www.stgpresents.org).
