Beth Hart's follow-up to her 1996 debut, IMMORTAL, was almost four-years-in-the-making. SCREAMIN' FOR MY SUPPER finds the brass-voiced singer moving closer to the commercial mainstream. On IMMORTAL, she sounded like an alt-rock Janis Joplin fronting a grungier AC/DC. On SCREAMIN', Hart retains her tough-mama blues-rock growl, but the album's sound is bigger and lusher, featuring strings, and sampled drums, layers of keyboards from the ubiquitous Benmont Tench. Hart's new songs mostly tend towards conventional-albeit melodically interesting-singer-songwriter confessional plaints.
Industry Reviews
...when Hart lets loose...she unleashes a seductive torrent of hurt and hope. - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (09/10/1999)
4 stars out of 5 - ...An extended confessional: sometimes up, sometimes down, but always convincing. Lyrically, she's funny; moving...and feisty. Add to this a sympathetic production...[and] the sum total is part Sheryl Crow, part Aimee Mann, but still very much herself.
