Teresa Street

born in Portland Tennessee,

Portland, Tennessee lays claim to the fact that it is the birthplace of one of country music's rising stars, Tresa Street.

Like lots of her heroes she discovered her love for music, her mother claims she was singing before she could talk. 

Like lots of country singers she started singing in church (a bet there aren't many who started when they were just three years old. ) where her great grandfather preached. From church she moved onto local fairs and festivals. 

Tresa didn't restrict herself to country music she tried all genres and confesses to likeing and loving them all but in her heart of hearts she knows country is for her.  One radio DJ said that her musical heroes were Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette coupled with Tina Turner and Cher. 

On being asked the perennial question how can this be possible, Tresa explains how all these ladies have not only music in common but a struggle against and overcoming great adversity, how through good and bad they stuck to their dream. Like her the music comes straight from the heart. 

Singer Songwriter

When you hear Tresa sing a love song you know she's singing about true love.  When she sings about her man being childish and refusing to grow up like in Rockin' a  Baby you know she's known a man like that. Tresa and her music are the real Mc Coy.

Tresa is not just a singer she writes and more importantly she performs her music, you will hear lots of blues influences in Tresa Streets songs enjoy.  This lady is really going places.

 

Album Review - Baby It's You

Tresa's recently re released album Baby It's You is reviewed here.

Track 1  Baby It's You - a great cover of the Burt Bacharach song this is a good a rendition as you will ever hear. Highlights the sheer quality in Tresa's voice.

Track 2 If I Let Him Touch Me - When I first heard this I thought it was Anne Murray it's the kind of song she sings so well and Tresa actually does it better, song about letting him love her out of leaving him.

Track 3 Last Light - a great J da' Boogie number once again a song that highlights Tresa amazing versitality.

Track 4 Love Rules - Dancers will like this a nice black coffee number sung to perfection. Self explanatory title lets face it everything goes out of the window when we fall in love.

Track 5 If I'm Not Crazy - Highlights the diversity in this ladies voice she play's with every emotion you have then just when you think you're back in control you hits you again.

Track 6 Oh Boy - Another cover song and not many ladies will take on this song, love this version of a very old classic.

Track 7 Fire - a Bruce Springsteen hit and once again a great version, a voice that oozes sensuality.

Track 8 A Man Like You (written by Tresa) - a quality voice bringing the best out of her own lyrics, she's convinced me that she's singing this song just too me.

Track 9 What's It Gonna Take (Written by Tresa & Dwight Martin) - Just to prove she does uptempo just as well as she croons a great Tush Push number.

Track 10 Everytime I Think It's Over (Written by Tresa & Dave Richardson) - This could be a classic country song, I really like this number.
