Free Music Review: A Very Good Album
Hit: 3 Stars
Not a great album, but a very good one. Like most of the reviewers, I found it somewhat disappointing after Just Won't Burn . This one has a much smoother, polished, pop sound to it. In exchange, Tedeschi's given up the urgency and passion that characterized JWB.However, this is a different album, and deserves to be listened to and rated on it's own merits. After several times playing it through, I've come to a rating of 3 stars. 5 stars is for timeless great albums (ABB Live at the Fillmore, Who's Next, Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt Pepper's). 4 is for great albums that aren't in the very top tier, including ST's Just Won't Burn. 3 is for very good, very listenable albums that you can enjoy over and over, but that probably won't still get pulled out of the CD collection 10 years from now.
Free Music Review: Still waiting
Hit: 3 Stars
Susan Tedeschi has one of the most astonishing voices in the current musical landscape, and sadly, there's nothing on Wait For Me that stretches it to the extent the best moments from Just Won't Burn did.. That isn't to say it isn't worthwhile - Tedeschi spent the record going into more classic soul and r/b territory than finding the blues, which is absolutely her right, and with songs as fun as "I Fell in Love" or as lovely as "Alone" and "In the Garden", you'll certainly understand why. But for the most part, the record doesn't leave you with much of an impression, or, as in the case of "Hampmotized," it can get downright annoying. Tedeschi certainly hasn't lost any talent, but this record is a subpar showcase for it.Free Music Review: Not as good as I'd hoped
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this CD several months ago and have only listened to it twice. I loved her previous CD and I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it! Some of the songs were good and some of the singing was good and it seemed as if it had great potential that was never realized. The thing that struck me the most was that the music and singing did not blend. The sound was more pop than blues. This CD will appeal to those who like more mainstream music with a little blues mixed in but not to a blues enthisiast. I felt there was an attempt to make this CD appear more polished than her prior music but, to me, it ruined the "bluesiness". I will not buy another one of her CD's without hearing a few cuts first.Free Music Review: She Should Have Taken Her Time
Hit: 3 Stars
Oh...wait a minute...she did...and in the process fired most of the band from Just Won't Burn. This cd has none of the fierce and unbridled passion and power that Just Won't Burn did. If fact it sounds like a cover of and early Bonnie Raitt album. This is unfortunate, because Suan Tedeschi is no Bonnie Raitt. Even though it was so disappointing, the 3 stars recognized Tedeschi's incredible voice. The cd is over-orchestrated. She clearly missed the presence og Tom Hambridge and Tom West on this cd. If I hadn't already bought it, I would have waited until it showed up in the ... bin at a local flea market. Keep your eyes peeled...there will be alot around.
Free Music Review: Not Just Won't Burn...But still good
Hit: 3 Stars
This alblum is not Just Won't Burn nor is it Better Days (which I think is her best and rawest), that sad this is still an enjoyable record. It has a slower feel to it then her last outing. It reminds me at points of Joplin's Kosmic Blues alblum, which the large sounds it takes on. What really disappointed me though was the production value, it seems too polished. While you can still detect the passion underlying in her delivery and voice, it is not at the forefront....I would love it if for the next alblum she simply records a set of new songs live to capture the fire and passion she brings to the stage.
