Beth Hart – Fire On The Floor

Beth Hart’s Fire on The Floor takes you on a delectable voyage – first stop a jazzy, fiery feast – Heart’s voice delivering strength and sass in spades. Next, smooth silky ballads invite you to sway in agreement, sadness, and intimacy. Heart and soul shine through the verses.

Nuances in tone, delivery, breath and timing married seamlessly with the instruments in an exciting, vibrant way. As the album progresses, as do the layers in the story.

‘Baby Shot Me Down’ and ’Good Day to Cry’ have a familiar feel and movement, allowing the listener to ride a reminiscent wave as the last few songs spark the entire 12-tracks into a (beautifully controlled) Fire on The Floor. (RBM)
