Negative Positive
Title: Won't even warm-up!
Review: I have seen Susan Tedeschi, and was totally underwhelmed by what I heard. SHe seems to have a powerful PR machine behind her, probably the same one that tries to convence us that Kenny Wayne Shepard, Jonny Lang and Shannon Curfman are "Blues" people. Anyone who is serious and "really" knows the Blues genre and realizes that it is more than just hard rock blues guitar played by someone not old enough to get into a bar, have a wife or facing an uncertain future. I suspect that most reviewer giving her 5 stars are the same people who give Kenny, Jonny and Shannon 5 stars. Either they don't have a clue or a clue or hint of blues is all they can really relate to. Debra Coleman is the one to be heard and listened to, not just because she is the a black woman born of the blues tradition, but because she is the real deal not trying to play at being a blues artist. Debra's playing reflects rock influenced elements but her voice is pure blues as is her song writng.
Is the review positive or negative?
