Free Music Notes for The Best of Susan Tedeschi: Episode One
Free Music Review: A 5 Star collection...but where are the extras?
Hit: 4 Stars
Looking over the song list, this is a fine CD capturing most of her high points in one place. It would be nice to get some early demos, outtakes, rarities, for those of us that have been with her from the outset.
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.

The first time I heard her voice I was captivated. Gritty, soulful, and soooo real, her singing hooks you and pulls you in. She also plays some mean guitar. Great songs... I would give it 5 stars, but I just can't bring myself to do that for a best of collection. This is great music, and a good place to start. However, be warned, if you buy this, you aren't going to want to stop here. If you're like me you'll want to own all her albums, which makes this one a little unnecessary to own. Then again, you could start here, and then, after you get the rest of her stuff, pass this one on to a friend. He/she can then do the same. With that in mind you really can't go wrong here, and your friends will thank you. So go buy this, load up your bong, kick back, and enjoy.Free Music Review: great, but...
Hit: 4 Stars
This smells like a "She's left our record company so we'll put out a best of" package. Fortunately, Susan Tedeschi has done so much quality material on Wait for Me and Just Won't Burn that this disc is a blinder. 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
Free Music Review: Susan has it.
Hit: 4 Stars
This is my first CD of this lady's work.
Excellent with the exception of the final two live tracks which do not add to the album in way. 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.
