Susan is great!
Great gutsy, blues work!. She is hot! Never heard of her prior to an NPR interview with Susan.


Susan has it.

Excellent with the exception of the final two live tracks which do not add to the album in way. This is my first CD of this lady's work. I wonder why these tunes were even chosen.
Without these tracks, it's a five star performance.
Susan shows excellent range and talent both on the guitar and with her voice.
A good selection of tunes.

GREAT DISCOVERY
He had to say "Great Discovery", and these are exactly my sentiments when I first heard Susan Tedeschi!!! So gifted, so versatile, jazz, blues, R&B, Susan can sing so many music types. Now I know how Colombus felt, when setting foot on American soil. I also think she has a Joplinesques quality in her voice. . Jack Forrester .


great, but...
Fortunately, Susan Tedeschi has done so much quality material on Wait for Me and Just Won't Burn that this disc is a blinder. This smells like a "She's left our record company so we'll put out a best of" package. The two bonus tracks are really nice. This could have been great with a little digging, but. . .

This is a five star recording, docked one star for record company lack of imagination. Definately recommend.


A 5 Star collection...but where are the extras?
It would be nice to get some early demos, outtakes, rarities, for those of us that have been with her from the outset. Looking over the song list, this is a fine CD capturing most of her high points in one place.

Had the producers decided to include the cover of the Big Mama Thornton standard "HOUND DOG", from Tedeschi's 1995 debut, it would have shown her lineage and earliest debt to the blues. Blues women have pioneered the sound for decades getting little notice, in a male dominated industry and genre.

They might have included "Alone"(live)off the Japanese release of WAIT FOR ME disc as a Bonus Track.

Or the ex-SRV backing band DOUBLE TROUBLE's version of "In the Garden" for a change of pace to the mellower take found on her solo CD.

How about the slinky & smokin' duet she performs with her one-time producer Tom Hambridge off his BALDERDASH album, "Opposites Attrack" Yousah!!!

It is not a knock on Susan, she probably didn't have control over this release anyways and the music is top notch. There are often licensing issues to untangle as well.

But with 80 minutes on a CD, how about treating long time fans to a few extras for being there over the years.

For newbies just looking to catch a glimpse of blues-rock in the vain of Bonnie Raitt or maybe Janis, this will be a nice pick up.
