4.0 out of 5 stars Her best, October 24, 2007

This album is her best album to date but this CD does not include the slow version of The Wild One, like it was originally released in England and Scandinavia on LP back in 1974. Just for information ,the first track on this cd is single version of The Wild One.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good rock, but a disappointing second album, May 17, 2010

This review is from: Quatro (Audio CD)

With a string of big hits and a successful first album making the leather-clad, pants-wearing Suzi Quatro pretty much a household brand for rock and roll rebellion outside of America, the pressure was presumably on to produce another rocking screamer that would continue the momentum. The result - 1974's `Quatro' - is, like many "difficult" second albums, disappointing.

Though again sporting slick rock production and a number of compositions from the Mike Chapman/ Nicky Chinn team, this effort sadly replaces the song-writing of Quatro and guitarist Len Tuckey with a host of covers of 50s and 60s staples - though they are, admittedly, stirlingly executed.

Chapman and Chin contribute the rockers, `The Wild One', `Too Big', `Savage Silk' and the bubble-gum stomp of `Devil Gate Drive', all of which Quatro commits to with screaming melodic zeal, while adding three more big hits to her catalogue. But the covers are mostly too boringly chosen to really showcase her talent. `Keep A-knockin', `Trouble' and `Shot of Rhythm and Blues' tend to leave her sounding a bit like a female Elvis impersonator. Though, `Move It' is a driving, adrenaline-fuelled rocker and the soulful rendition of `Hit The Road Jack' is an unexpected and brilliant surprise. While Quatro/Tuckey were not at their rock best with the boogie-styled `Klondyke Kate' and `Friday', the heart-achingly tender ballad, `Cat Size' is not only a high point, but it helps make `Quatro' worth a purchase.

The whole thing has an update-the-50s-with-a-modern-70s-polish feel. But, other than in her obvious powers as a rock interpreter, `Quatro' lacks any real stamp of Quatro as an artist. In fact, its dearth of self-penned work, in addition to the continued pro-written singles, is probably one of the major reasons rock commentators discount her as a serious artist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roadhouse or Rockabilly?, October 29, 2008

Before she became widley known as Leather Tuscadero, Susie Quatro was a Rock Club goddess, marching to the rythym of her own making, tough girl leather jumpsuits barely zipped, thumping her Bass like she meant it.

This Classic Quatro, has my favorite "Cat Size", and a great version of "Hit the Road Jack", and "Trouble". So here's the deal, if you are amoung the Elvis is King crowd, This is an album to sink your teeth into from the worlds first "Tough Girl Rock Star"
