This is the third cover album by vocalist Beth Hart and guitarist Joe Bonamassa. The highlights here include a howling cover of Tina & Ike Turner’s ‘Black Coffee’, a blue collar truck stop rocker that’s hard to ignore and the jazz standard, ‘Lullaby of the Leaves’ that finds the duo switching gears for a smoky late night rendition of the classic that casually escalates to a powerfully climactic guitar solo. Other highlights include the jazzy ‘Why Don’t You Do Right’ and the dance floor draw ‘Saved’.

Fun album. Check it out wherever you listen to music.
