Beth Hart is one of the most soul-full singers I've ever heard. She is multitalented and plays several instruments, as well as a song writer. Her collaboration with Joe Bonamassa is one of the best pairs in music entertainment.

Billie is in your voice, in your head, in your heart, is your angel protection. Abrazo para vos Beth y para Joe, me emocionaron.

Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

At the beginning I was certain ET was going to show up.

I love Beth but have only recently discovered her. She is a wide-eyed, high-energy person these days. I know she has had substance and depression issues off and on. Was this performance during one of those rough substance abuse times? She definitely does not have that sparkle and wiped her nose about half a dozen times.
