Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"

Audiogoner Theo was telling me about an artist by the name of Joe Bonamassa, whom I had never heard of. While doing research on him, I ran across this new album that was just released on Tuesday.

It includes Beth Hart on vocals. Okay, now I'm saying to myself, who the hell is Beth Hart, never heard of her either. I did research on her and boy am I glad. She's terrific. I bought a couple of her past albums and am really enjoying them.

"Don't Explain" adds both talents to an absolutely fantastic album. Certainly on my top 5 list for the year catagory.

Listen to track number 7 entitled "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and just try not to "be-bop" around the dance floor.

My other favorite track is "Chocolate Jesus". The whole album is amazing.

Joe talks to me on Facebook now and then, hardly seems like a prick to me.

I heard BCC and did not like it at all. I saw a bunch of clips on YouTube of Joe and none of them impressed me. My bro gave me a CD he had recorded and that did not impress me either. A total yawn. I saw him live in small hall here in Orlando and THAT was a totally different experience. This was probably the best rock concert I have ever attended. Loud and proud, this guy has the confidence and chutzpah to put on a *killer* live show.

Have to agree with Mike here. Was not blown away by some of the recorded stuff, but I saw Joe just last night at the Beacon in NYC. A killer two hour show. Besides his solo songs which were really brought to life live, he brought on Beth Hart for two songs. Later John Hiatt came on for two songs. Towards the end, Paul Rodgers came on and did "Fire & Water" and one other song. One of the best shows I've ever seen!

There's always somebody making me jealous with their "I saw them live and guess who made guest appearances" story!
Just searched Beth Hart here to find this thread, listening to "Bang Bang Boom Boom" as I write. Love her.
Saw the cd she did with Banamassa, will have to pick that one up next time. His pbs special was something.
She's singing "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Jeff Beck right now. Wow. Got to go...

Their new CD "Seesaw" is also pretty good.
