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.

Royal Albert Hall a few months back on PBS was my first and only exposure to JB.

An accomplished guitarist to say the least. Based on that limited exposure I thought his performance lacked "soul". I heard the collective gasp!

I did think the song with Clapton was so different from the rest of the show. It in my mind had "soul". The best cut for me.

Based on what you guys have said, I must give a second look. Especially want to hear the Tull cover.

Best,

Dave
