Beth Hart - Leave The Light On

Beth Hart has been to hell and back and thus far has avoided the one-way trip back again. After getting a lot of well-deserved ink for her 1999 album Screamin' for My Supper, which included the hit L.A. Song, Hart sank into a drug addiction that stalled her career and nearly ended up stalling her permanently.

But thankfully for the singer, with Leave The Light On she's returned with a new album and a new sense of purpose. 'The songs talk about getting well, and also about the darkness of being down and then the light of being back in the living again,' she says in the press kit. Judging by the opening tune, which sounds as if Macy Gray and Dido gave birth to a new child, Lifts You Up ambles along into a pretty and pretty solid rock/adult contemporary pop area.

Coming off very strong and confident, Hart gives way to guitarist Kip Packard quite often throughout. Even a reggae moment or two is added to the mix. Just by the first few moments, you can tell she'll make the most of this album. ~ Read the full review at Pop Matters
