Description:

Liner Note Author: Richard Rosenblatt.
With a vibrant, versatile voice (sounding at times like an inspired mix of Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt) capable of adding subtle emotional shifts to slow-burning ballads or rocking out with the big boys, Susan Tedeschi burst on the scene at the close of the 1990s like a breath of fresh air in an era of prefab MTV teen idols. This well-sequenced sampler draws on her three albums for Tone Cool Records, 1998`s Just Won`t Burn (half the tracks here are from this impressive release), 2002`s Wait for Me, and 2004`s Live from Austin, TX. Highlights include great versions of two Tom Hambridge songs, the stinging "Rock Me Right" and the solid "It Hurt So Bad," and a bright, flowing take on Paul Pena`s "Gonna Move." Like Raitt, Tedeschi works from a blues base, but she mixes in a strong sense of R&B and gospel, tackling songs as varied as Bob Dylan`s "Don`t Think Twice, It`s Alright" and Junior Wells` "Little by Little" here, and the two Austin City Limits numbers, Sly Stone`s "You Can Make It if You Try" and Stevie Wonder`s "Love`s in Need of Love Today," show her firm footing in R&B. A nice introduction to this fine musician. ~ Steve Leggett
