Much buzzed about singer-songwriter Beth Hart, known for her raw and powerful blues-rock sound, and guitarist Joe Bonamassa, one of the best guitarists of his generation, will release their sophomore album of classic soul covers Seesaw on May 21, 2013

Seesaw is the follow up to 2011's Don't Explain, on which Slant called Hart "a simply peerless frontwoman;" AllMusic.com said "Bonamassa and band accent her every phrase with requisite rowdiness, sting and grit." About.com called the duo "a match made in Heaven" and MOJO praised their "potent musical chemistry." The album was nominated for a 2012 Blues Music Award.

Seesaw opens with a joyous horn reveille to kick off "Them There Eyes," made famous in 1939 by Billie Holiday—one of Hart's biggest inspirations. "My mother turned me on to this song when I was a kid," says Beth. "I love the bubbliness. It's sexy, it's fun, and it has a great swing to it." On the track "Nutbush City Limits," Hart wails with an intensity that would make Tina Turner proud, and her slow and soulful burn on "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" pairs dramatically with Bonamassa's smoking guitar. The tempo kicks up several notches with Hart's tight, rocking vocals on "Can't Let Go," from Lucinda Williams' Grammy-winning 1998 album Car Wheels On A Gravel Road. It's followed by her fierce cover of "Miss Lady," the Buddy Miles song that was originally produced by Jimi Hendrix. Hart revisits Melody Gardot's songbook to deliver a sultry, jazzy rendition of "If I Tell You I Love You." "See Saw," is a Don Covay/Steve Cropper composition from Aretha Franklin's 1968 album Aretha Now. The album closes with Hart's haunting and atmospheric version of "Strange Fruit," a song that began as a poem about American racism—and lynching—by Abel Meeropol.

Nights Of wonder

Southern trees bear a strange fruitBlood on the leaves and blood at the rootBlack bodies swinging in the Southern breezeStrange fruit hanging from the poplar treesPastoral scene of the gallant SouthThe bulging eyes and the twisted mouthScent of magnolias sweet and freshThen the sudden smell of burning fleshHere is a fruit for the crows to pluckFor the rain to gather, for the wind to suckFor the sun to rot, for the tree to dropHere is a strange and bitter crop

The combination of the incredible powerhouse voice and crying guitar creates an atmosphere in which you hear the leaves rustling with your closed eyes and notice that there is something that does not fit in that picture.

Il tuo sorrisoToglimi il pane, se vuoi,toglimi l’aria, manon togliermi il tuo sorriso.Non togliermi la rosa,la lancia che sgrani,l’acqua che d’improvvisoscoppia nella tua gioia,la repentina ondad’argento che ti nasce.Dura è la mia lotta e tornocon gli occhi stanchi,a volte, d’aver vistola terra che non cambia,ma entrando il tuo sorrisosale al cielo cercandomied apre per me tuttele porte della vita.Amore mio, nell’orapiù oscura sgranail tuo sorriso, e se d’improvvisovedi che il mio sangue macchinale pietre della strada,ridi, perché il tuo risosarà per le mie manicome una spada fresca.Vicino al mare, d’autunno,il tuo riso deve innalzarela sua cascata di spuma,e in primavera, amore,voglio il tuo riso comeil fiore che attendevo,il fiore azzurro, la rosadella mia patria sonora.Riditela della notte,del giorno, delle stradecontorte dell’isola,riditela di questo rozzoragazzo che ti ama,ma quando apro gli occhie quando li richiudo,quando i miei passi vanno,quando tornano i miei passi,negami il pane, l’aria,la luce, la primavera,ma il tuo sorriso mai,perché io ne morrei.

But the best version is still by Billie Holliday. Although this tribute cuts to the bone.
