Beth Hart "Leave the Light On" (2003)

Leave the Light On
release date: Oct. 21, 2003
format: cd / cd (2005 reissue) / digital (2006 reissue)
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,68]
producer: Beth Hart
label: Koch Records - nationality: USA

Track highlights: 1. "Lifts You Up" (live) - 2. "Leave the Light On" (5 / 5) (live 2008) (live 2006) - 3. "Bottle of Jesus" - 4. "World Without You" - 5. "Lay Your Hands on Me" - 9. "Monkey Back" - 11. "I'll Stay With You"

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.

Beth Hart Band "Immortal" (1996)

Immortal [debut]
release date: May 21, 1996
format: digital
[album rate: 3 / 5] [3,16]
producer: Hugh Padgham, David Foster, Mike Clink
label: Lava Records - nationality: USA

Track highlights: 2. "Spiders in My Bed" - 4. "Hold Me Through the Night" - 9. "Ringing" - 10. "God Bless You"

Studio album debut by Beth Hart released as Beth Hart Band after having released the self-released semi-official album Beth Hart and the Ocean of Souls in '93 (reissued as an archival Beth Hart album in 2009).
Immortal is the only album released as Beth Hart Band. The majority of the original album's twelve compositions have lyrics by Hart and music by Hart together with guitarist Jimmy Khoury and bassist Tal Herzberg. The fourth and last member of the band is drummer Sergio Gonzalez.
Stylistically, this is primarily blues rock, although, there's also a clear influence from heavy rock and grunge rock, which from my perspective makes it a bit of a bland experience - on the other hand, it's still a fine example of Hart's incredible vocal register, which is hard to imagine without Janis Joplin and her significant vibrato and intense dynamic range, and it's really her vocal performance that raises this far above the mediocre 'cause musically, there's simply too much generic and unoriginal heavy rock on a debut that makes you question if this is a Led Zeppelin or Pearl Jam tribute album.
