CONCERT REVIEW: UNKNOWN HINSON, TERESSA WILCOX
July 23, 2012 by roccitynews - in Music Blog
BY FRANK DE BLASE
Teressa Wilcox was tearing into a revved-up and soulful turn at “Summertime” like a fat guy on death row goes at a rack of ribs. I say Wilcox is enigmatic because the way she carries herself offstage belies the funky hellcat she is on the bandstand. You know Lucinda Williams’ song “Joy”? Maybe you’re more familiar with Bettye LaVette’s version. Well, guess what children? There’s a third take on the song, and it rocks. Wilcox tore up the tune (and the remaining ones in her set, for that matter), percussively chopping chords on her big white guitar while her band kept it high and tight. I particularly dug the organ. And I dug Wilcox’s mixed signals. It’s not that she’s two people or anything. It’s just that when someone plays that hot and nasty, you don’t expect them to be so sweet.
