Trying to cover this song, or any song done by the Tedeschi Trucks band, is pretty daring. Some have tried, and most have failed. But not this band. They pulled it off, and beautifully, putting their own stamp on the song. Great vocals and instrumentals. I congratulate all of you for doing the nearly impossible. I hope Susan and Derek listen to this cover. I think they'd like it.
I seriously doubt that anyone loves the TTB original more than me and I could barely bring myself to watch this because I thought you’d blow it. You really really didn’t. I was in tears by the start of the solo and didn’t let up till the end. You really captured the emotional core of the song with your own stamp on its presentation. Derek and Susan would have to be proud of you. I know I am, you all did a fantastic job.

All true but lets not forget Mike Mattison’s name as songwriter on this. His version on his solo album is also a must hear.

This is the best cover version so far of a great and difficult song. My congrats to you all.
I am completely captivated by this beautiful and talented singer. Wow, just listen to that voice. And that band. Holy smokes! They are perfect together. They just belong together.

I saw them as a trio last week in Gateshead supporting Robin Trower where they opened with this track by the Tedeschi Trucks Band. As I already had the TTB CD I was more than impressed with this version. Superb evening overall. Got the new CD signed by Jess and Frankie which I'm playing a lot.
How dare they cover that masterpiece and do it every bit as well? Frankie is finally in his element. I’d love to know what Mr and Mrs Trucks think of it.

I didn't think anyone could sing this as well as Susan, but Jess is amazing! I came across this by random chance, but I'll be looking for more.
Jess 👋 You are going to do more stuff like this... Right? Awesome 👍 Professional sound and production. Kudos to you and the players. Great guitar too 🎸 Beautiful 😊 I'm in
Great voice! Love the Tele solo! Takes guts to cover TTB and put your own spin on it

It does take guts and confidence in one’s ability! There are only 2-3 great covers out there. Here’s one I think is fantastic and it’s live at a beach bar. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKGFq66qlM3KoZc.htmlsi=ePLm3KZ5IaqVwZe5
A lot of good feelings. the guitar is excellent
Like other commenters, I just love TTB's original. But it says something fine about this group that they wanted to take it on. Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly and the rest of the players delivered the goods. Great singing, Jess moves it from soul to the gospel and Frankie's guitar work wisely avoided Derrick's defining slide sound and smoked it with his own. In this world, at this time, we need as much healing as we can get. Thanks.

Exactly! This cat, while a phenomenal slide player wanted to switch it up to. And the raspy, sultry voice of the singer is the cherry on top! Think it’s their first time playing it too! ✌️ kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKGFq66qlM3KoZc.htmlsi=ePLm3KZ5IaqVwZe5
You have to have a great talent to perform such a beautiful song like this!! Congrats to the band specially the singer.. amazing voice!! Cheers from Argentina
Everything about the guitar….. flawless, tasteful, and amazing. Dang!!! What a winner. Of course, everybody else was terriffic…. But him? Dang!!!
The current 95K views is deceiving... because I've watched this 75K times myself! Unreal! Love it!

Wow! I didn't think this cover could do justice to The TTB original version, but you blew me away! What a great job!!
Oh my ! That takes some nerve and know you can do it talent and sounds like she's got it all ! Sounds so frickin good 👍 And did I mention that her band is absolutely Frickin Melting it ! And I hear that grit in her voice.... Mercy Mercy Mercy where have I been 😂 Lady you are one talented Artist ! With a voice like hers ....she can basically sing any song she wants and make it beg to her to quit bringing the heat 😂 can you imagine her and Susan singing this together !!!!!? Just can't get enough of this Chic singing this song and I really hope that TTB has seen this ! Susan would totally approve of it !
Wow....no wonder Jess has a smile on her face....that solo is unbelievable!!! Can't stop watching...fantastic👍👍

Difference between Jess and Susan is ya wanna tear Jess’ clothes off ‘n start your ravenous meal as ya listen to her sing. Susan… ya just wanna listen, maybe grab some headphones if they’re nearby.
Simply great!!! Great voice, great Telly solo, great band !!
Fabulous
Outstanding voice - got a depth to it of an old soul! Beautifully sung, this song always has a trance like effect on me.
I agree, instrumentally stripped down a little, but the soulfulness was magnified. Smooth, passionate,
Great cover, but I'm so used to hearing Derek's unparalleled slide playing on this song that I wasn't sure how it would sound without it. You guys really nailed it! Look forward to hearing more.
I reeeally try to write something, but for the lack of words, i will just just listen on loop
Wow, fantastic all around, Frankie poured his soul out into that solo!
Found this scrolling thru, beautiful job guys and yes Jess great job! Keep em coming!
The guy on Tele is superb.

It took him a little while to get going, but once he found it, wow.
And another thing...where does a young lady like you get SOOOO much soul??? I'm a fan. Listening for more!
Outstanding musicianship and vocals - Jess you have a stunning voice, love this! 🔥🔥🔥
I agree with a guy by the name Mark Richards. I have my reservations to listen to a version to one of my favorite songs a guitars solo by Derek Trucks. This rendition is impressive, the voice, the arrangements, the guitar solo................BRAVO!!!!! Well done guys!!!
Virtuoso performances all around. It takes confidence and competence to tackle a sacred song, and you delivered a superb, masterful rendition. It's so sonic, in the pocket, and made for repeat listening because the whole band brings it! This is so fine; it will be in my favorites forever... it's not possible that you can listen to this too much.

“… sacred song”… good, accurate description.
I guess Derek would have a big smile on his face,too, hearing that solo. Man you nailed it.
Holy Cow ❤ the vocals are EVERYTHING and that guitar 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a brilliant beautiful voice, reminded me of an Australian singer Renae Geyer. Such a cool vocal and the band had it all together, loved the lead guitar work and a very competent drummer with some great drive and a bass that also drove the rhythm section. An all round spine tingling performance.
Girl, you did the justice to the song. Dynamite in your voice, goosebumps on my back. Thank you!
Killed it!!!!’
Wow wow wow!! Beautifully sung Jess - just beautiful. What a unit!! And Freddie - well - you took me away with that masterpiece. As previously said Derek and Susan will be chuffed with that. Sleeping happy now :- thanks 👍👌
By far captured this in ur style & nailed it even better than the original. Keep rockin it girl. So much talent to waste.
This is sublime. To cover an amazing song and make it your own is extraordinary. It's like a beautiful poem, but in a different language - each stands alone.

Fantastic cover the lead guitarist is something else ......
Wow. Tedeschi Trucks would be proud. Good job guys.
I too came here expecting the worst when someone tries to cover an amazing band like TTB, but holy crap that was exceptional.
Simply outstanding. What a voice, what a band. Midnight in Harlem make me float on air whenever I hear it by the by the TTB. This version is no exception. And as for Jess, think I love you lol ❤
Y’all knocked that thing right out of the park
Jess, you are a legend already. Your mum and dad should be so proud.
Man, that was a stunning version. When curiosity turns to delight. Everyone excelled. Shit hot.
Can't get enough! Outstanding. Well done
A beautiful rendition I love the Tedeschi Truck Band I think Susan Tedeschi is an amazing vocalist I think you guys did serious justice to the song...Bravo!
Love that musicians are in a room together creating MO JO! Awesome! Enjoyed all 7 minutes! Oh Hell yea!
Incredible .. I’m in love.. shhh.. with her voice Incredibly talented and Frankie Is some kind of guitar player .. 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🙂
This is one of those songs that you cover with all the soul one can muster.. great stuff!
What can I say...simply THRILLING to hear this!
Ms Hayes and Mr Connolly wreck this stuff right here. Damn.
They should do a duet…. That would completely rock!!!!!
So Beautifully Done. And that's not easy with this song. One Hell Of a Band Also. Great Job.
Wow. I echo the popular sentiment here in the comments. This might be my favorite song of all time, and you guys nailed it with your own feel. Bravo 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely Stunning performance! Beautiful singing and excellent playing! You guys are a really tight and talent band. I loved every second.
What a wonderful voice!
One of the best covers ever
Your cover of Midnight in Harlem was off the charts full of soul and passion. Thank you, hope to see you in North Carolina soon.
I can't seem to get enough of this. I listen over and over. Where has these artists been?
hot,hot,hot cover team. Outstanding. thank you for putting a smile on my evening
Wow, so beautifully sung and played, thank you
Phenomenal cover all around! You have an incredible voice! Susan Tedeschi would definitely approve. Wonderful, just plain wonderful.
What a fantastic version. Really loved it...
Very, very nicely done...you kept the song's emotional drift and message while giving it a slightly "cleaner" mix, well done!
Great version 👍
Really enjoyed this. The guitar solo had some great parts in it.
Awesome, just absolutely awesome! And I’m the biggest TTB fan around. You go girl!
❤ Genios que hermoso voz wow! Perfecto ❤ saludos desde Bs As capos
Fun to jam with! The band gets cooking at the end. Come to Chicago!
I do love this version! Jess covers it better than anyone else I've heard and Frankie absolutely slams it! Great cover!!!!!
Best KZread cover of this song! Great band and the lead vocalist Jess has the soul to sing this song righteously!
WoW that Voice - well done by All
Wonderful Cover; thanks for sharing ❤
Absolutely love this, the whole band performance is so good. The vocals and guitar solo are outstanding 👏 🔥🔥
Love it!!!! Great version. Thanks.
Second comment. Look at me go. I've listened to this rendition a few times now, and I just love the feel of the whole thing. The band is amazing, they're so tight and Frankie's crushing it, absolutely crushing it on lead guitar. Jess, your voice is just so, so soulful, sonorous, and sensual. It's like a warm embrace, which, at this present moment in my own life, is very much needed.
Amazing job - blew me away!
Well this is one of the reasons i love KZread. Well done and I must say these musicians are ones to watch. "just a cover" of a great song but done very well. Cannot wait to see the future of these folks. Young lady you have a voice to cover Susan that well. Hope you have a range as well. Guess I just have to subscribe to see where you go now.
Midnight in Harlem is one the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to, and I never thought I would be captivated by a performance other than the one from the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Yet, this is amazing! Love from Brazil
Very nice all around, with spirited vocal and band work. Opening phrases of guitar solo were particularly lovely. Nice filming, and post work. Shadows on wall were unexpectedly informative at times.
Masterpiece in its own right.
It’s a tough song to cover. But you guys did a great job. Love it. It’s different and that’s how it should be. Love love the vocals ❤
Nice Jess! Really nice. Congrats
Stunning ! Wow, man that was a brilliant surprise.
Des de Catalunya, Barcelona, dir-vos que estic mes que emocionat al veure com fent una versio de gran qualitat al mateix temps heu respectat amb molta cura el tema original. Felicitats y Gracies.
Fantastic job Tedeshi Trucks would say so too
Fantastic!
Bravo un pur régal 😮😊merci pour le partage et bonne route
Wow, huge song to take on! Well Done!!!
this really sounds good..performance, band and production ..thumbs up
Great job 👏🥰
Absolutely legitimate and fully realized cover of a killer tune. So musical and the vocals....wow.
Causton is one town away from Midsomer! Who doesn’t know that, Mitch! My wife and I watch what’s happening in Midsomer every Friday night here. He, he, he…
I love it !!! Amy Winehouse feel !! Beautiful singing
Just beautiful!
