Already well outside the "shipped" dates mentioned. Still have not recieved this order, nor have I heard from anyone concerning it. Would still like to know where it is. . . .

There's always a light, somewhere.
There's a hint of Southern hurt in Back to the River that's quite satisfying. Tedeschi was a blues rocker in her own right well before marrying blues-rock guitarist Derek Trucks, nephew of the Allman Brothers' drummer, Butch Trucks. Comparisons to Bonnie Raitt are obvious, but Tedeschi has a little more rasp in her vocals. Raitt can get sweet; Tedeschi retains her "don't-mess-with-me" `tude, even on songs as poignant as "700 Houses" ("Where have all my saints gone? / Will they come marching in?"). Like Raitt, Tedeschi wields guitar work that's fiery, stinging, and economical, making her statement resolutely, but with a pick; the slide work is deferred to Trucks. Highlights include "Learning the Hard Way," with its do-it-again, chill-the-wine rhythm, and the title track, leaning on a rip-snortin' guitar riff. All songs were written or co-written by Tedeschi, and most adopt a "yes, but" blues stance - there's always a light, somewhere. Tedeschi turns it on. .

Ms. Tedesschi's Still Got It.
I'm not sure but, I think it was her official debut album, and she wrote about 1/2 of the songs on it. I knew about Susan Tedeschi and her Blues guitar playing from one of her earlier albums, 1998's Just Won't Burn, which I liked and thought she did a pretty good job on.

Back to the River was advertised as a "return to her signature sound" so I picked up a copy. I had not bought or heard about any albums of her's between the debut and this one. Back to the River is a good solid album which she co-writes on almost every track. The production is of a higher quality compared to her earlier work, probably due to using George Drakoulias (Tom Petty) and numerous well-known guest artists including her own husband Derek Trucks. All this contributes to a pretty good effort, which I think makes a good companion the her Just Won't Burn album that I already had. Planning on burning a CD with songs from both albums on it for the car.
