This reissue of the Boston favorite"s 1995 debut clearly highlights her greatest strength: her voice. Susan Tedeschi has been singing since she was 4 years old, and it shows; her voice has the power and control that comes from long experience. If her version of "Hound Dog" doesn"t blow the top off of Big Mama Thornton"s original, it"s still a strong effort, and she"s just as good with her own material. The title track--penned by Adrienne Hayes, guitarist for Tedeschi"s band--is especially good, as the slow tempo allows Tedeschi to stretch her pipes a bit. Unfortunately, even by the release of Just Won"t Burn, Tedeschi"s guitar hadn"t caught up with her voice, and the discrepancy is even more obvious here--there"s a spark, but it doesn"t quite catch fire. Still, there"s no question that her heart"s in the right place, and if her guitar work continues to improve, there"ll be no stopping her. --Genevieve Williams
