Michael Shonk: Music I’m Listening To — BETH HART “Skin.”
Posted by Steve under Music I'm Listening To[3] Comments
SELECTED BY MICHAEL SHONK:
Beth Hart is one of those singers you wonder why she is not more famous. There seems to be an endless number of her songs on YouTube. It is hard to pick just one to play. Her range and genres of music is as wide as her voice is impressive, from her Janis Joplin-like rock (“Am I the One”) to the pop of “My California,” from soul songs such as “Halfway to Heaven” to the Tom Waits cover “Chocolate Jesus,” from blues (“Baddest Blues”) to jazz (“Jazz Man”). But this is what I picked, from her album Screaming for My Supper:
“Skin.” Composed by Beth Hart (vocals and piano).
You can read the lyrics at her website:

She’s a singer new to me, Michael, and I enjoyed this. I’ll look for more of her songs. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been a huge fan ever since her only hit single “L.A. Song” from her second album. A major talent. I have all her albums.

Rick, L.A. Song is one of the best songs about living in L.A. and fit perfectly with her song My California. Both made me homesick.
