Editorial Review:
A Boston native now living in Atlanta, Sue Tedeschi gets wildly overpraised by some purported blues pundits and gratuitously slammed by others. The truth lies somewhere in between. She's an earnest but undistinguished singer and a functional songwriter-guitarist whose music provides mild entertainment. On an album that veers between blues-slanted material (try "Friar's Point") and bluesy pop-rock (take your pick), she carries on with élan but none of the finesse or emotional clarity of a big-league singer like Joan Osborne or Bonnie Raitt. Tedeschi's cover of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery," alas, is her blatant imitation of the famous redhead but it is light years away from Raitt's persuasive capacity for interpreting lyrics. The most alluring track is "Can't Leave You Alone," written by Tedeschi band member Adrienne Hayes, who unleashes a stirring little guitar solo therein. --Frank-John Hadley

Rating:  - Rocks me right!!
I listened to the snippets of Susan's different albums after I heard her on Sirius. First time I'd even heard of her! Based on the samples I heard, I ordered Just Won't Burn and Wait for Me. LOVED them both on first listen. Oftentimes it takes me a few listens before I become enamored of a new artist, but not these. I was bouncing along to Rock Me Right first time I popped it in the player. And ok, no one else is Bonnie, but Susan reminds me alternately of both Bonnie and Janis. And both artists ... Read More
Rating:  - Better than the "expert" review
I own this CD and it is a good one, well worth having. Is Susan at the same level as B.B. King? I think not, but the reviews by Frank-John Hadley and "Living Blues" whatever that is, are way off the mark for someone who was starting out (at this point) and has advanced to a two time Grammy nominee (Pinetop Perkins is also a two time Grammy nominee, he invited Tedeschi to be on his "Ladies Man" album, and I think that qualifies as a good review from him). The only explanation I can come up with for the ... Read More

A little Etta James, alittle Janis Joplin, spells great. The band is excellent..Mick
Rating: - Just amazed...
I am just amazed at the editorial review for this album. Apparently written by the same type that talks about the math in music. If you love the passion in great blues, you'll love this album. In my mind, I initially jumped to the Janis-Bonnie cross that seems pretty common here. But that really sells her short. She's got the passion that you hear in Janis' voice, and the blues guts that you hear in Buddy Guy. I haven't seen her live yet, but I'd wait in a long line.
Bottom line: passion and soul ... Read More
