''Don't Explain''

Beth writes in the liner notes (LP) that Etta James was a huge influence on her in the early stages of her career. I think Etta would be appreciative, unlike she was with Beyonce' (or Bouncie as George Dubya would call her).

I bought it and I hate it! Cant stand Beth Hart's voice.

I think this is Beth's best work yet.

Ozzy -- if you don't like Beth Hart's voice try Lizz Wright who contrastingly sings in an ultra smooth, rich, melancholic style. You can look at Beth as “Solid State” and Lizz as “Lush Tubes.” Youtube links below:

Lizz Wright – Speak Your Heart
Lizz Wright – Old Man
Lizz Wright – My heart

Thanks, I'll give them a listen.
