I know you've been hurt
By someone else
I can tell by the way
You carry yourself

But if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

I, I loved and lost
The same as you
So you see I know
Just what you've been through

And if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I just have got to take care of you

You won't ever have to worry
You don't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes

So darlin' tell me
That you'll be true
'Cause there's no doubt in my mind
I know what I want to do

And just as sure
One and one is two
I just got, I got to take care of you
I just got to take care of you
Take care of you

Strictly a personal issue, but I don't care for heavy vibrato voices like Beth's. But I recognize her talent, and this is some darn good bluesy stuff otherwise!

Saw him at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox Theatre with a killer band ,and perhaps Ms. Hart.  

Dressed like an Original Blues Brother, he owned the joint for two hours!

Bobby Bland, one of the all-time great vocalists ... not on RP but worth checking out ... Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City!

Insanely good voice. Insanely good guitar.

good cover.  I was only familiar with Van Morrison's version but a few others have covered it like BB King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Etta James

Beth's vocal reminds me of Etta James.  And that is a very good thing.

This whole album has some outstanding goose-bumpy tracks, well worth a listen, in particular, Ain't No Way and I'd Rather Go Blind. Superb :)

Today I had to realize that a good old colleague and friend must have been gone. He loved Blues, Rock'n'Roll and all the good stuff of the 60s.  I didn't feel like listening to music all day, so I clicked on my favourite station anyway. And what was playing? Exactly this song! He had introduced me to Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa about a year ago. Take care, dude, and thanks for this sign!

Oh, Beth, you can take care of me. Have mercy!

This is serious, metalfittin', shitkickin', heavy blues. With artists like these on the block, the blues will never die. 9 from the moved Nottingham jury

Bill, if you like Beth Hart's voice, look up Liz Lannon. Wonderful blues voice, in the mold of Beth Hart; pretty good band. She & her band were (are?) a local, eastern New England blues band, busy in the 90's & aughts. Several CDs available.

A good song with a Joey Bonamassa guitar solo - a rare and beautiful thing.

Having heard this numerous times before, I can say that this is how to make a voice and a guitar ex-plode at different points in the same track. 
Posted 4 years ago by kingart    [ Reply ]
I had this at an 8 but the sound of her voice today moved it up to a 10 for me.  whew...the woman can sing and I can't get enough Joe Bonamassa.

I was going to give this a 7 until until I heard Joe get going.  8 first listen.

Mark Lanegan's version is way better. Mark Hoyt (Stumpy Joe) guitar.

8 from me - Beth and Joe are a great combo!  Her voice is almost surreal and his guitar playing sends shivers down my spine. Bliss!

9→10 Today...Great vocal performance AND blistering guitar work!!!  Hell, my wife LOVES it too so I'd even go 10→11 if I could.

No question in my mind; these two make a perfect power couple don't they?  At least when it comes to making music.  In any other area I suspect Beth would hurt Sir Joe. {#Whipit}  She'd probably make the perfect woman for a Viking, even if she's found God.  {#War}
Posted 6 years ago by Highlowsel    [ Reply ]
Just changed my rating.  I rarely give a 10 but the combination of the gutsy vocals and Joe's magical guitar....Fan-freakin'-tastic.

Everyone who knows me knows I am NOT a big blues fan, but this guy makes the guitar speak like no one since Duane Allman. The only problem with this solo is it is about four minutes too short!
Posted 8 years ago by jhorton    [ Reply ]
Wow!  Every time I hear these 2 players, I get blown away.  They remind me of the blues version of Renee Fleming, because both Joe and Beth are just so intensely good that they are almost too good ... like a super delicious but super rich dessert after a heavy meal.  HD for the ear-bones?
