Do not explain why it is better than home, just listen to this hard, as it goes: "Boom Boom - Bang Bang!" Small pun with the last three best albums of Mrs. Hart. Without the encounter with Joe Bonamassa and their joint project "Do not Explain" I would not have found access to her. Despite her outstanding voice, no need to fear a comparison with soul and blues greats such as Etta James, Aretha Franklin or Tina Turner. The pearls from the speakers as fruity full-bodied red wine. But the Bluesy what I like so much that she has of JB, and that makes them for me to present the best soul and blues singer "where there". There really is nothing like them currently. Better than Home is admittedly not really comparable to the other two albums that have touched me emotionally more musically. But the more personal gentler mood of this album comes without compromising equally well over - therefore also for this album 5 stars. What are the listener can expect here with blues and soul ballads this time also, you would rather assign the Country & Folk. But that fits just now good to her. In my opinion, Beth Hart has found their own style. A back it will surely not be there. And for my taste, you may like to remain "somewhat unknown". Too much fame also does not bring happiness and success pressure harms only the musical quality. Since I'm very selfish! ;)
