B.B. King, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi – Rock Me Baby – Live at the Royal Albert Hall, 2011.

B.B. King, with his soulful vocals and masterful guitar work, set the tone with his signature style—effortless yet profoundly emotive. His presence alone brought a sense of reverence to the stage, and his interaction with the audience displayed his enduring charm and charisma.

Derek Trucks, known for his slide guitar virtuosity, added a layer of intricate melodies and dynamic solos. His playing was both fiery and nuanced, providing a perfect counterpoint to King’s bluesy riffs. Trucks’ synergy with Tedeschi was palpable, and their interplay created a rich, textured sound that elevated the performance.

Susan Tedeschi’s powerful voice and passionate delivery were highlights of the night. Her vocal prowess and soulful expressions brought a modern edge to the classic tune. Tedeschi’s guitar playing, though secondary to her singing, complemented the overall sound, weaving seamlessly with Trucks’ and King’s contributions.

Lyrics:
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
Rock me baby, honey rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby
Like my back ain’t got no bone

Rock me baby
Honey i want you to rock me slow
Rock me baby
Honey i want you to rock me slow
Want you to rock me baby
Till i want no more

Rock me baby
Like you roll a wagon wheel
Roll me baby
Like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby
You don’t know how that makes me feel

Rock me baby
Honey rock me all night long
Rock me, rock me, rock me, rock me, baby
Honey rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby
Like my back ain’t got no bone
