BETH HART has a truly remarkable voice and has played with some of the great rock guitarists like Jeff Beck, Slash and Joe Bonamassa. She's visiting us in April for BLUESFEST, some solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne and also a support slot for Mr Beck on his downunder tour. Never having played live in Australia before it's a show not to miss. The Rockpit got the chance to talk to Beth last week and it was the beauty of her answers that revealed a musician very much in love an in-tune with her art. |

Mark: Hi Beth, great to get to talk to you, how are you.
Beth: I guess if I had to choose one it would be ‘Strange Fruit’ (Billie Holiday) it’s such a fine song and has such great weight as a lyric. |
|
Mark: Your career has been an interesting one to say the least, with some incredible highs and lows: do you feel that you are at a place now when you can look back on it all and really start to enjoy yourself now?

|
Mark: It’s great to see you down here, we get a lot more great artists these days coming to see us, but we can’t wait to see Beth Hart. And of course there are also the shows supporting JEFF BECK?
|
|
Mark: Your latest solo album ‘Bang Bang Boom Boom’ has been around a little while now, it’s a wonderful album. Will you be bringing many of those songs over for us?
|
|
Mark: Time has just flown by; I think we’ve just got time for a couple of quick questions. If you could have been a ‘Fly on the wall’ for the creation of any great album from any period, just to see how the magic happened and it all came together, what would it have been for you any why?
