Beth Hart's second album was released in 1999 under Lava/143/Atlantic Records. It's rock/pop with blues undertones; lots of raw emotion pour from her voice. The production is pretty good - not too polished, that would ruin her sound. Immortal was her first CD, released in 1997. I haven't bought that one yet, but I'm going to look for it. Her raw, earthy, scorching voice just captivates me. I didn't think I'd like this particular singer when a friend lent me the CD - her musical tastes are very different from mine - but I have listened to it over and over. It's my current favorite.
You can read more about Beth Hart's early years on www.bethhart.com in her biography; I just really like her voice - a lot. Her lyrics and voice really speak to me; one quote from that page is what I really liked: "It's all about the music".
