Product Description

Beth Hart's follow-up to her 1996 debut, IMMORTAL, was almost four-years-in-the-making. SCREAMIN' FOR MY SUPPER finds the brass-voiced singer moving closer to the commercial mainstream. On IMMORTAL, she sounded like an alt-rock Janis Joplin fronting a grungier AC/DC. On SCREAMIN', Hart retains her tough-mama blues-rock growl, but the album's sound is biggerand lusher, featuring strings, and sampled drums, layers ofkeyboards from the ubiquitous Benmont Tench. Hart's new songs mostly tend towards conventional-albeit melodically interesting-singer-songwriter confessional plaints.

Amazon.co.uk Review
The late 1990s spawned a spate of assertive female rockers. Few, however, possess the edgy passion, blues-drenched soul and whisky-soaked inflections that are Beth Hart's trademarks. Less rough-hewn and more accessible than her 1995 debut, Screamin' For My Supper is nonetheless an emotional and memorable offering from this LA native. Hart's vibe--sort of a Fiona Apple meets Mick Jagger, with a liberal dose of Janis Joplin--somehow manages to be her own, while her thoughtful lyrics have a Southern sensibility that touches the heart and soul. This assertive yet fragile new artist, whose songs are as well constructed and executed as her words, could easily share a bill with Sheryl Crow, and might wind up stealing the show. --Katherine Turman
