Live from Austin TX is the fourth album and the first live album by American blues artist Susan Tedeschi, released in 2004.
In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek called the album "a nice collection of material... performed with a wonderful balance of passion and finesse," and stated that it "doesn't replace her studio outings in any way, but it complements them nicely."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings praised Tedeschi's performance of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right", which she "claims as her own with an intimate rendition."
Hank Kalet of PopMatters described Tedeschi as "a tremendous vocal stylist" who "finds the emotional core at the center of each song and allows her voice to wrap around it."[1]
Regarding Tedeschi's guitar work, The Washington Posts Mike Joyce stated that she "contributes a few concise and expressive solos that get the job done," although "she can always get by on vocal talent alone."[2]
