Suzi Quatro: Quatro [Bell, 1974]
Dumb, yes. Samey, still. Leiber-Stoller's "Trouble" sounds silly--even in that chrome sweat suit, Suzi can't convince me she's evil. And I wish her physical equipment--her medium-sized voice, her static bass playing, and her workmanlike band--were up to her concept and the likable, mostly Chapmann-Chinn material. But I do believe she's tough and independent, and I'd rather hear Quatro shouting out "Keep a Knockin'" than a whole album of Maria Muldaur stylizations.
