180 Gram Double Vinyl! 10th Anniversary Edition! First Time On Vinyl! Features 5 Live Bonus Tracks Including "L.A. Song"! Fierce Melodies + Burning Guitar Crunchiness!
Beths formative musical tastes were eclectic, taking in jazz, rock, blues, gospel and grunge. Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald: Im fascinated by them, she says, but then when I heard Robert Plant and Chris Cornell, I couldnt get over their power. But then, Rickie Lee Jones and James Taylor, their voices were so lovely and soft
A national win on Star Search, a forerunner to American Idol and The Voice, gigging around L.A. and a lot of pounding the pavement by her manager, eventually led to Jason Flom and David Foster who jointly signed her to Lava/143/Atlantic Records. Beth worked with top producers on 1996s Immortal, and scored international hits with cuts like Am I The One, but today, she contends it was on 1999s Screamin For My Supper home to the smash-hit LA Song (Out Of This Town) that she found her voice.
Welcome to the sound and poetry of recovery and redemption. On Beth Hart's third album, she has taken her already lean, rootsy approach to writing, scaled it back to what is essential in a song, then poured the very grain of her being into each performance. Leave the Light On is filled with songs that take no prisoners, such as "Bottle of Jesus" or "Broken & Ugly", with fierce melodies and burning guitar crunchiness.
This first ever exclusive vinyl edition includes no less than 5 bonus live tracks. No matter what happens, this album will always sound necessary and is a vital example of classic rock.
Like Jeff Buckley at his most transcendent, and sounding like Janis Joplin reincarnated with Stevie Nickss high-speed vibrato, Hart turned the act of singing into an out-of-body experience, something both intensely physical and tangibly metaphysical. Slant Magazine
