Quick UK chart update (source)

Don't explain is at Number 12 after one day of sales. It will probably slip down the charts by Sunday, but hopefully it'll stay top 20, that'd be great! 

This album is just incredible .... It oozes class in vocals and musicianship along with the beautiful arrangement of the songs and a raw vibe production, it's like a throwback to those soul and easy listening tunes of the 50's & 60's given a supreme 2011 gloss over.
I thought Dust Bowl was the hands down no contest best album of the year, but Jeez this is wonderful music, it is running it so close, no really i can't give enough praise about this collaboration, it hits this spot in true deep soulful music that has been missing in the music world.
I mean Beth Hart's voice and tone is stellar all through this CD, My word i have not heard vocals like this in a long time with bad intention, god knows what the boys and kevin thought of some of these vocals by Beth in the studio, but she does indeed bring it big time, they must've been whooping and high five'n, WOW!
It has it all tinges of Jazz Soul Blues Rock and is a great release by Joe and surely one he must be extremely happy with,
There are some truly outstanding musical offerings within "Don't Explain" ...
Sinner's Prayer is a swampy bluesy preachin tune with a wicked slide hook entwined around Beth's rasping vocals and a powerful opener, it's dirty low and you are already drawn in by it's devilish sound
Other highlights include "I'll Take Care of You" with Beth & Joe in smooth mood giving us a tale of love which is just sublime and Joe delivers a heartwrenching solo to the end.
There are 2 Etta James gems in these grooves given the Beth and Joe re-work, "Something Gotta Hol On Me" is jumping and bopping all over the place like a soul sensation infectious blast from the past, a great change of pace throughout this album, sultry sassy emotional sad and uplifting it's all here in classy musical form.
"Ain't No Way" is just amazing, the old Aretha Franklin classic given a timeless touching modern sound, músic like this never dies
and to deliver it with as much as Aretha's soul is so rewarding for the listener with some beautiful stringed orchestra arrangement that makes this tune feel so pure to it's original, Beth's voice is so soulful on this legendary song.

But there is one song "I'd Rather Go Blind" , that is truly breathtaking and just cries for that repeat button, such is it greatness it's one of those songs you just listen to in complete silence and captures all your senses, it is so moving with Beth singing with so much feeling you are after hearing it moved with it's brilliance and Joe just pours out one his very finest guitar solo's he's ever put down on record and with a huge sweeping arrangement to carry it along on thank god it's the longest song on "Don't Explain"
One of those songs i will keep with forever and take to the grave it is that beautiful.  in my top 10 Joe songs easy
What A Voice, What Truly Beautiful Songs, What an Album.
I Love It Joe ..... Well done to you and Beth Carmine Anton Kevin Blondie Arlan

PS .... "I'd Rather Go Blind"  has cut me up     

Just played it for the first time and the whole album is incredible. I mean just how good is "I'd rather go blind"? I'm away to play the cd again..................

Couldn't agree more Michael, especially about "I'd Rather Go Blind". Still brings me to tears when I listen to it! Outstanding!

I sure hope Joe and Beth do another cd!

JAM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished listening the whole way through. Love it. Totally love it. Her voice just kills me. And, well, what is there to say about Joe 

By the way, is it allowed to open a new thread : Joe and Beth Hart - Part II ?
