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.

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...
"Don't Explain" was my first listen into these artists, since I've tried a couple of Beth's lps.

"37 Days" is a great lp that showcases her extraordinary vocals. Get it!

"Bang Bang Boom Boom" is good but sadly COMPRESSED!
