Summary: Refreshing new music
Comment: As a guitar player and long time blues/rock enthusiast I am quite impressed with this album. The songs are soulful and the lyrics meaningful. Susan's guitar playing has grown nicely and her tone on that semi-hollow electric is beautiful. It is refreshing to see/hear a woman who isn't afraid to be feminine in a male dominated industry. Her voice ranges from beautifully soulful to raspy. Although she is a pleasure to behold, she does not rely on sex appeal (or at least does not need to or appear to) to sell her music. Seeing her singing on the old Derek & the Dominos song, Anyday, at the Clapton Crossroad 2007 festival with husband Derek Trucks' band was one of the highlights of that show. Having him guest on a couple of tracks adds a measure of dynamics that can't be quantified solely in musical terms. Buy this album if your ear to brain signal is filtered through your heart and soul.....

Summary: Production values
Comment: This is not a comment about the artist or the music. The production on the vinyl copy I have is woeful. It is so highly compressed it is sometimes impossible to hear a clear high frequency and the bottom is quite muddy. I can easily hear her voice being limited...ouch. Why oh why do modern recordings have the life compressed out of them! Especially on vinyl; maybe its necessary for mobiles but not for loverly vinyl.

Summary: Susan at her best!
Comment: Susan Tedeschi continues to rock on this CD. If you love her, you will continue to enjoy her talent. If you haven't had a CD by Susan get it now! She is such a talented artists who surrounds herself with amazing musical artists that enhance her skills. Susan you are the best! (Even better in concert!)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Comment: Susan just keeps getting better. Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall, along with Susan give this cd as good guitar playing as it gets. Tom Petty's producer gives a new cooler sound to Susan, imo. I really like all the tracks, not just one or two. Check it out if you like rock and roll with killer guitars!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best since "Just Won't Burn"
Comment: Susan gets back to her original harder-edge style on this one. Although her last couple albums were excellent, they were more laid-back and quieter than this. Derek Trucks' guitar makes a good song great, and does so on several songs. Other guest guitarists help too.

Editorial Reviews:

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.
