I purchased cd this week after listening to the last verse of 'Your Heart is as Black As Night' on Radio 2. I had to google the name of the song and the artist, as the DJ went on to talk about something else as it ended. I bought this on the back of these last few lines and did not know what I would get. To say I am blown away is an understatement. I dont normally listen to Blues but I have played this non stop since it arrived today! Brilliant. Her voice is amazing, and the guitar is exemplary. I would recommend it to anyone!!

The start of the first track should tell you if you will like this or not!

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Two great musicians - Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa - coming together. Sometimes collaborations work, sometimes they don't, for a whole variety of reasons. There are the obvious partnerships that I've enjoyed (Eric Clapton and BB King is a great example), where I've wanted the music to carry one, and I've wondered what else did they record and what happened to the rehearsal tapes. There are others which are just self indulgent, ego massages for both parties, that I've listened to and discarded.
This one works, Hart's voice and vocal phrasing complemented by Bonamassa's stellar guitar playing, whether slide or not. The opening of the opening track should help you decide whether you are going to like this or not - a bluesy slide guitar opening up and introducing Hart's smokey vocals. Her vocal power continues throughout the album, with hints of Joplin to her phrasing and delivery.
It's a great album, and one that I'm really enjoying. I was fascinated to read someone here complain about the sound quality - there's nothing wrong on my copy, so I can only hope he's sorted it out to enjoy this stunning album.

Like many others, I purchased this cd after hearing Your Heart is as Black as Night on the radio, and being blown away by it. If you liked this track (and how could you not?), you will not be disappointed by the album.
Hart's raw, emotional, bluesy vocals and Bonamassa's incredible talent on the guitar are a perfect combination. Add a selection of great soul songs with (mostly) deep, meaningful lyrics and the result is one of the best albums not just of the year, but of the 21st century to date.
