Topic: Beth Hart Sister Heroine

I apologize if this has been posted before. My understanding of Beth Hart was admittedly limited to her album with Joe...I knew nothing about her. I'm now a fan, and understand JB's desire/willingness to record an album with her. Talk about paying your dues...wow. http://thebsblog.net/2012/08/18/beth-ha … r-heroine/

She's had more than her share of demons in her life. A testament to human fortitude and the struggle to overcome. A superb talent and a musical match made in heaven with Joe. I too am a huge fan.

Thanks for posting Stu Craig. This post explains a lot of the reasons there are so many of us hard-core Beth fans out there. This was posted back in 2003. Since then Beth had to struggle with some serious issues with bipolar disorder and inpatient treatment for that, along with serious depression and the working out of different meds to find the right one. Her therapist felt that she had been trying to self-medicate since she was a child to feel "normal." The great thing about Beth is she shares this stuff with her fans in interviews and in her music and it helps a lot of people. The song Like You on the My California album is specifically about bipolar.

Here's an interview from a few months ago where she discusses these issues among other subjects:

P.S. One thing I wanted to add about the song mentioned in the review "If God Only Knew" - it's about her father who had no contact with her after he got out of jail while she was growing up. The song has a totally different meaning once you know that.
