BETH HART AND JOE BONAMASSA RETURN WITH THEIR
FOLLOW UP OF CLASSIC BLUES AND SOUL COVERS
LA-based singer-songwriter Beth
Hart, known for her raw and powerful blues-rock sound, wraps her expressive vocals around classic soul
covers on Seesaw, the second album that grew out of her musical ties with the acclaimed blues
guitarist Joe Bonamassa. The
album is released on Deluxe CD+DVD and Double Vinyl in the UK/Europe on Monday May 20 by Provogue Records
(followed by US release on Tuesday May 21).
After their first successful collaboration on Don’t Explain, this highly talented duo is back with Seesaw. As
with Don’t Explain, the Seesaw album is tastefully produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, John
Hiatt, Joe Bonamassa). "Beth’s got a pretty heady voice, very reminiscent of Janis Joplin," says Shirley. "She’s also got
a lot of Etta James in her. With this material, there’s gentleness to the way she delivers the most heartfelt tunes. She’s
done a fantastic job."
Bonamassa and Hart crossed paths numerous times whilst playing the same festivals in Europe. In early 2010,
Bonamassa attended one of her concerts in London. "It was killer," says Bonamassa. He suggested they do a project
together sometime. Don’t Explain took shape that summer. Now, two years later, the follow-up album,
Seesaw, captures 11 new blistering tracks, including covers from Billie Holiday (Them There Eyes), Melody
Gardot (If I Tell You I Love You), Etta James (A Sunday Kind Of Love) and the title track Seesaw, made popular by
Aretha Franklin.
