Back To The River

Back To The River

Opis:

Review With her dirty organic sound, raw voice and uncomplicated emotions, bluesy-soul guitarist Susan Tedeschi is sincerity personified. Back To The River strikes further into soul and rock territory and if, like Susan, you've no truck with artifice or cynicism, her rasping, good-natured songs should hit you where you live.The blues structures are kept to a minimum, and the most apt description for her current direction would be heavy southern soul. In fact, it's easy to imagine these fiery gutsy arrangements behind an Ann Peebles, Janis Joplin or a Candi Staton.On previous outing, Hope and Desire, Tedeschi covered Staton's Evidence. This time she works up a tidier, feedback free rendition of Betty Harris and Allen Toussaint's There's A Break In The Road. The original material uses a variety of co-writers including Tony Joe White and The Jayhawks' Gary Louris. It's an even split between head shaking riff centred tracks (opener Talking About, the title song) and heartstring tugging chord based ones (Hurricane Katrina reaction 700 Houses). Lyrically, Susan doesn't do ambiguity and some of her political writing is a little gauche. During People, for instance, she encourages the masses to take responsibility for their lives while simultaneously casting them as easily influenced canvasses for media and advertising wiles. That said, she makes no claim to political leadership or objectivity and her polemical numbers are backed by confident and catchy tunes. She embodies maxims like ''the personal is political'' and ''the revolution starts at home'' telling self-interested corporate America to Revolutionise Your Soul.Gritty, wood smoked, and with its heart pinned in the right place on its sleeve, Back To The River is a record for singing loudly along to in the car. And if you don't do much loud singing in your car - it probably isn't for you. --Angus TaylorFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window Product Description Back To The River is Susan Tedeschi's 2008 album, her second recording for Verve Forecast. Susan writes, sings and plays on a hard-driving collection of new songs that offer an emotionally honest look at love and life. Produced by George Drakoulias (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Black Crowes, Jayhawks) it also features performances by Derek Trucks (who also produced 1 track), Gary Louris and Doyle Bramhall II. Tedeschi's Verve Forecast debut, Hope and Desire, focused on her amazing vocal talents as an interpreter of other's songs. This time out she turns her pen, guitar and powerful voice to her own work having written or co-written all but one song.
