Revalator, the recent collaboration between Susan Tedeschi and her husband Derek Trucks, may seem like an odd choice for an end of summer album review.  Perhaps a more predictable selection would be a dance infused independent arena rock extravaganza with loads of theatrics and shiny glistening shimmeriness (insert cliché music review language.)  You’ve heard it all before by this point.  Music is a tough thing to talk about, so I’ll get to the point.  Never mind the compelling clichés.  Go give Revalator a listen and make your mind up for yourself.  To me this album feels like the Georgia sun relenting after a sudden afternoon rain.  As always Tedeschi’s voice is exquisite and Trucks’ slide guitar underlines and accents it perfectly with joy and sadness in equal measure.

Three and a half stars.
