Album Review: Beth Hart - Bang Bang Boom Boom

Carley Hall

Beth Hart is one of those raw talents of bluesy vocal gymnastics whose repertoire does away with any expectations one carries into the genre.

Beth Hart is one of those raw talents of bluesy vocal gymnastics whose repertoire does away with any expectations one carries into the genre. A must-see at this year's Bluesfest for her back catalogue alone, Bang Bang Boom Boom provides fresh incentive. Hart's at her most enveloping when wallowing in her 'woman-scorned' lyrics and it's hard to surpass on darkly magical opener, Baddest Blues. She weaves around this ball-busting intensity frequently, in Better Man and Caught Out In The Rain, but gets a bit cabaret with big band sass on the title track.
