"Teresa will probably remind you of Bonnie Raitt but listen again. James has a rawer, gutsier sound. And, for the record, count Raitt as one of Teresa's admirers ... Teresa's got a deep, soulful feel for this music. Her vocals are naturally strong and free of pretension. Maybe Levon Helm said it best, "Teresa James is a true original. When she sings, you can feel it in your bones."".
