Get Ready to Rock
And while there are no real surprises here, ‘Front And Center’ is everything you would want from a live album that neatly updates Beth Hart’s progress, while cleverly suggesting she’s got much more to share.

Chris High Reviews
An absolute tour de force, this is an album created to cause shivers, trigger tremors, invoke tears and have smiles of absolute delight break free and all from one complete package of music mastery.
-
Rock and Blues Muse
Her heartfelt vocals float over a matter-of-fact piano base, confessing every feeling and leaving her so emotionally exposed to her audience that it can only be called an act of courage.
-
National Rock Review
Beth Hart’s latest release truly represents her mesmerising live performances and the many different facets of her artistry from the jazz singer, soul songstress, the rock goddess and last but not least the leading lady of the blues.

She’s in good spirits and just like on stage, she oozes a cool charisma and her endearing personality shows it’s not just for performing.

Renowned for Sound
Hart’s more dedicated fans may find nuances and twists in the renditions presented here, but casual listeners aren’t likely to find much to pull them in.

Blues Doodles
The songs work in the studio but live they are something else building on the energy, that Beth performance adds to every phrase and note. The performance feels live deserving the respect you pay when sitting or standing in an auditorium.

Making A Scene
Hart displays her extraordinary talent on this live presentation. After listening to and viewing this recording you will want to go see her.
-
Cascade Blues Association
The band behind Hart is magnificent, Jon Nichols on guitar, Bob Marinelli on bass, and Bill Ransom on drums. They fill her music with life and energy.

Rawamp
Her voice is a mixture of emotional fearfulness and full-on husky gravitas. And when she lacks self-assurance she’s at her enrapturing best. And when she asks herself deeply personal questions and hesitates before supplying the audience with an answer, the childlike daintiness and the perils of her misunderstanding are at their most conspicuous.
-
Liverpool Sound and Vision
Beth Hart and the band become unconcealed, the shimmer of the veil seen from the grandest stages is unfurled and what remains is the sense of beauty that only looking into the eyes of the artist can bring.

Planet Mosh
I love this release, but when you’ve got a singer with a voice as powerful as Beth Hart’s then it just feels wrong for that power not to be fully utilised.
