'Come On Home' has been getting a lot of airplay and some great reviews… Many thanks to Terry Wilson who wrote or co-wrote most of them and who painstakingly produced the CD - and we've got some of the best players around on it, too. Of course we have Billy Watts on guitar and vocals (one of the best guitar players ever who should also be much more well known but then we wouldn't ever be able to afford him - thank you Billy); the lovely Ms. Debra Dobkin lent us her considerable talents on percussion and background vocals; Jerry Peterson is all over the CD with his soulful sax; and on drums we have the best of the best: Jim Christie, Herman Matthews, and Tony Braunagel (Google them!). But wait, there's more... we've also got some special sit-in guests we're thrilled about: from New Orleans, the ever so funky Jon Cleary on piano; the amazing Mike Finnigan back on B-3 (he's played on several of our CDs but this time we get to sing a duet together); Lee Thornburg once again has lent us his considerable talents on trumpet and his superb horn arrangements, Leslie Smith joins us with his beautiful vocals, and, we are very excited to have the killer horn section from Mingo Fishtrap joining us on a track too. We even got the infamous David P. Jackson on accordion on one cut! And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to have the amazing Mr. John Porter mix it!! I really think that it is one of the best things that we have done and I can't wait for you to hear it! ~TJ

This CD - Teresa's 7th - is a powerful follow-up to the acclaimed 'Bottom Line' CD that garnered her a nomination from the Blues Foundation for 'Contemporary Female Blues Artist of the Year' for 2008. From the opening bars of the funky, down-home 'Hug Yourself', to the delicate and soulful, 'Sunday Shoes' and all the way to the raucous title cut that closes out the album, this is a great collection. An engaging mix of blues, Americana and the just plain rockin' attitude that this band is known for, this CD definitely deserves a listen.
