3rd studio album by Beth Hart comes in a number of different issues with highly differing track listings, but the original album consists of 11 tracks and is without later issues containing "Learning to Live" (released as a single in 2005) and "Over You" (included on her 2007 album 37 Days).
The album is a strong release containing a number of fine powerful songs showcasing Hart's dynamic range, and then the heavy metal influence has been exchanged for electric blues rock.
In many ways you could argue that the many various reissues perhaps should be regarded as compilation albums; however, the 2006 German reissue on vertigo is a mighty fine release; although being an almost completely different release than the original issue.
