Los Angeles native Beth Hart, a blues-styled rock singer and street performer who made her debut in 1995 with Immortal The album, which gained her acclaim for her raw, outspoken personality with a gifted musicianship, emotional live shows and a voice that has been compared to that of Janis Joplin. "Hart is the definition of a normal woman," wrote Chuck Taylor for the October 2nd, 1999 issue of Billboard magazine "bawdy and funny, lively and free-wheeling with her choice of spicy language. However, that's nothing as compared to her presence on stage which is where the tall and athletic singer/songwriter dances and belts out songs with the ferocity that is Mick Jagger .... At times, she's taken her place at the piano or center stage, where she sits without pretense, with her legs crossed over the edges of the chair, conjuring a voice that's so delicate and hurt that you're wondering if she's going to cry--or do you think you'll cry. "Drawing emotions like this since the time she took the stage to compete in amateur contests as young teenagers, Hart nonetheless experienced misgivings about the music business as her career started to grow. However, traveling the world over was not good for her band and Hart was ostracized for over four years, a time introspection and tackling issues through music. In 1999, Hart returned to her professional career with the critically highly acclaimed Screamin' for My Supper. The album saw Hart's songwriting talents develop with vulnerable and honest songs that address life's difficulties.
