Grammy-nominated powerhouse singer-songwriter Beth Hart has announced her new studio album, ‘You Still Got Me’, which will be released on 25 October via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. The album features appearances by Eric Gales and Guns ‘n Roses’ Slash. She has also revealed her new song, “Wonderful World.” Listen to the new song here.   If you have ever seen Beth Hart live or immersed yourself in her music, you know she puts every ounce of her being into her songs. Firebrands inspire; it's what attracts people to them. However, part of those personalities' makeup is that they do not wear a harness. They thrive on the freedom and space around them. But, with that comes danger; you need an emotional crash mat, and those save lives. It is something we all need at times throughout our lives.

Watch the official lyric video for "Wonderful World" by Beth Hart

The album's video for the title track "You Still Got Me," poignantly features  her beloved husband, Scott.  Scott, along with the team around her, provide that surface to fall on when she needs it. Night after night on tour you can see the adulation she receives and that she also gives back. That connection has been forged over the last 28 years of releasing music in which she unapologetically wears her heart on her sleeve - like a warrior. Which is precisely what she is.   Today she reveals the beautiful piano ballad “Wonderful World,” which oozes optimism. "That song was written for and about my beautiful niece,” she says. “As time has gone by, I see that it’s really written for the lineage of the women in my family. All the way down the line; my great grandma, my grandma, my mom, my sisters, my niece and her daughter. So it's the lineage and how imperative it is for me to see that, and what a gift to finally see that."   Beth says about her writing process, "It's always for the joy of writing or for the challenge of writing, to seek what's going on. Sometimes, when I'm sad or scared, I check in on the piano. Sometimes a song comes, and sometimes one doesn't. Either way, there's comfort there."   The album erupts with soaring rocker 'Savior With A Razor' featuring Guns n' Roses' Slash. The epic Bond-like anthem thunders with nihilistic defiance as Beth's vocals take the listener through the shadows and smash through the ceiling as Slash's guitar wraps around the story in an electric fashion. "Beth Hart is one of my favorite artists to work with,” Slash says. “She is an incredible singer/lyricist on so many levels. But Beth is also as sincere and genuine a friend as they come. She's amazing."   Beth explains the messaging within the songs: "I leave that up to the listener to decide. Personally, I know what it is for right now. One of the beautiful things I love about songs and albums is that over time, that meaning changes. I like to keep that open because there's a lot I can learn from it."   "Little Heartbreak Girl" pierces through the clouds like spears of hope and power. "Little Heartbreak Girl, you're on your own," she yearns but follows with  "Little heartbreak girl, stronger than stone". Still, it's the lyric "You're gonna conquer the world" scattered throughout that stands atop the mountain, planting a flag into the ground.   The decadent groove-laden funk of "Suga N My Bowl" features the Southpaw wizard and longtime friend Eric Gales.  She offers up a cautionary tale on "Never Underestimate a Gal," while the Tom's Waits-esque "Drunk on Valentine" is a tender, Jazzy, smokey barroom ballad. Her "most personal and powerful song on the album" is the haunting socio-political opus "Don't Call The Police," an incredibly raw, upsetting, and observational insight on the George Floyd murder.   'You Still Got Me' is Hart's eleventh studio album, and it finds her riding a career trajectory that has been heading for the stars for several years and keeps soaring. Her most recent albums, 'A Tribute To Led Zeppelin' (2022) and 'War In My Mind' (2019), became her highest charting UK and US releases to date, along with crashing into the Top 10 in Germany, France. Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, and The Netherlands. Selling out shows worldwide, her recent travels have taken her across the US, Canada, Europe, and all the way to India, Morocco, and Australia.   We all have our "Me" when she sings "You still got me" - a loved one, a friend, a pet, a place, a memory, a song…even in her moments of fragility, Beth Hart continues to inspire. She buries her hand deep and tears her emotions open so we can all see a mirror into ourselves, reminding us that you can feel low, but your inner strength is so much more powerful.   Beth Hart is a powerhouse in every sense of the word, and ...she is a gargantuan BADASS! 1.    Savior With A Razor (feat.

Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘In Session (Deluxe Edition)’ to be released in entirety on audio formats for the first time

 

ALBERT KING & STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN’S IN SESSION (DELUXE EDITION) TO BE RELEASED IN ENTIRETY ON AUDIO FORMATS FOR THE FIRST TIME   The remastered 1999 live album will finally arrive complete on 3-LP, 2-CD and HD Digital   To celebrate the release, “Born Under a Bad Sign (Live)” makes its digital debut and is available to stream or download today

Click here to pre-order / stream In Session (Deluxe Edition)   Los Angeles, CA (August 20, 2024)—Craft Recordings is proud to announce a Deluxe Edition release of In Session, the legendary collaboration between blues icons Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. This long sought-after live album will be available in its entirety for the first time ever on 3-LP, 2-CD and digital formats, including hi-res audio. Arriving October 18 and available for pre-order today, the set represents both a definitive moment in blues history and a real-time snapshot of two all-time guitar masters in reverence of each other on stage.   Recorded live for television at CHCH-TV studios in Ontario, Canada, in 1983, this historic performance—supported by a world-class band featuring Tony Llorens (piano/organ), Gus Thornton (bass) and Michael Llorens (drums)—is the only known recording of King and Vaughan playing together. The Deluxe reissue includes the debut audio release of three tracks from the show, “Born Under a Bad Sign,” “Texas Flood” and “I’m Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town.” Fans can preview the expanded collection with “Born Under a Bad Sign (Live)” available to stream or download today.   When Vaughan and King hit the stage in Ontario on December 6, 1983, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a rising star, while Albert King was entering a new phase of his career as a mentor. The duo’s relationship began a decade earlier in Vaughan’s hometown of Austin, TX, where, according to Billboard, King was playing a show and was hesitant about a “skinny white kid” joining him onstage. Vaughan’s brother, Jimmy Vaughan, recalled the fateful event: “When Stevie was 19, we were at Antone’s and Albert King was playing. [Club owner Clifford Antone] says to Albert, ‘You’ve got to let this kid play, because he’s (amazing).’”   Continues Jimmy Vaughan, “Now Albert had heard it all, but he got Stevie up there, and Stevie commenced doing Albert King licks. There was silence at first. Everyone stood there with their mouths open. They couldn’t believe it. But Albert loved it. He put his arm around him, and from then on it was Albert and Stevie. Everybody went, ‘Whew, that was scary.’ I would never have tried that, but you’ve got to admire the audacity.”   This kicked off one of the most exciting relationships in music. The concert recording captures a striking musical dialogue between the two, with Vaughan introducing King’s classic licks and expanding them in his one-of-a-kind style. By 1983, Vaughan was on track to become as respected in the blues world as King. In the AllMusic review of the original album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that Vaughan had “become the hot blues guitarist of the year thanks to his debut Texas Flood, as well as his work on David Bowie’s hit ‘Let’s Dance.’”   The Ontario performance has since become one of the most celebrated live shows in blues history. Erlewine continued, “Vaughan may have been the new news, but King was not suffering, either. He had a world-class supporting band and was playing as well as he ever had. In other words, the stage was set for a fiery, exciting concert and that’s exactly what they delivered.”   This heralded and exceedingly rare collection is a defining statement that celebrates the prowess of these two blues giants. On In Session, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan not only redefined the art of improvisational blues but also set a new standard for live music.   Click here to pre-order or stream/download Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s In Session.     Tracklist (3-LP):   Side A: 1.      Introduction 2.      Born Under A Bad Sign   Side B: 1.      Texas Flood   Side C: 1.      Call It Stormy Monday 2.      Old Times 3.      Pride And Joy 4.      Ask Me No Questions   Side D: 1.      Pep Talk 2.      Blues At Sunrise 3.      Turn It Over 4.      Overall Junction   Side E: 1.      Match Box Blues 2.      Who Is Stevie? 3.      Don’t Lie To Me   Side F: 1.      I’m Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town 2.      Outro   Tracklist (2-CD):   Disc 1: 1.      Introduction 2.      Born Under A Bad Sign 3.      Texas Flood 4.      Call It Stormy Monday 5.      Old Times 6.      Pride And Joy 7.      Ask Me No Questions 8.      Pep Talk 9.      Blues At Sunrise   Disc 2: 1.      Turn It Over 2.      Overall Junction 3.      Match Box Blues 4.      Who Is Stevie? 5.      Don’t Lie To Me 6.      I’m Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town 7.      Outro     About Stax Records: Stax Records, now owned by Concord, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee.
