Beth Hart - 2022 - A Tribute To Led Zeppelin

Beth Hart - 2022 - A Tribute To Led Zeppelin @320

Grammy nominated vocal powerhouse Beth Hart takes on one of her most weighty ventures with her new release, A Tribute To Led Zeppelin, out February 25 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. Hart doesn’t attempt to channel Robert Plant—she conveys her badass self in service to some of Led Zeppelin’s most popular songs.

The record came to fruition when producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance) was in the midst of producing Hart’s last album, War In My Mind (2019) when she spontaneously sang a version of “Whole Lotta Love” in the recording session. Cavallo later asked Hart about doing a whole record. Beth said, “I’m not doing this whole album. To do Zeppelin, you’ve got to be pissed off to hit that right. I can’t go there; I’ve worked years to put my rage away.” Hart tapped into enough anger as a result of the pandemic and contacted her manager. She said, “Have Rob and Doug send me all the music because I am ready to do this.”

If there is any female vocalist who can do a nine-song set of Led Zeppelin, it is Beth Hart. It takes courage to tackle one of the most legendary bands of all time, and Beth has more than her fair share. Which is in part why so many love her. She bares her all and nails many of these tracks with the heart of a warrior, the voice of a generation.

At the helm of A Tribute To Led Zeppelin is producer Rob Cavallo and engineer Doug McKean (Goo Goo Dolls, Adam Lambert, Gerard Way). The top-tier musicians include Cavallo on guitar along with Tim Pierce (Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner), bassist Chris Chaney (Rob Zombie, Jane’s Addiction, Slash), keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac (Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Rolling Stones), drummer Dorian Crozier (Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus, Joe Cocker) and Matt Laug (Alanis Morissette, Alice Cooper), with orchestral arrangements by David Campbell (Muse, Aerosmith, Beyoncé).

The album blasts off with “Whole Lotta Love” and it’s Beth’s spotlight from the first note. This mighty vocalist brings attitude with a capital A to the song. Powerful and guttural, she wrangles this track in a way you might expect. For Zeppelin fans, the orchestration might take some getting used to but it’s an honest take on a ground-breaking song. The psychedelia takes on even darker shadows than the original with the use of strings. Killer drumming and bass anchor this song in the way it was intended. Beth is on the edge here, so much so as to make the hair on your arms stand on end. (Rock & Blues Muse)

2004 - Terry Reid - Super Lungs (The Complete Studio Recordings 1966-1969)

2004 - Terry Reid - Super Lungs
(The Complete Studio Recordings 1966-1969) @320

Terry Reid, often nicknamed “Superlungs” for his remarkable vocal power and range, was one of the most promising young talents on the British rock scene in the late 1960s. This 2004 EMI double-CD compilation gathers virtually every studio recording he made between 1966 and 1969, including early sides with Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, his solo singles and album tracks, and a handful of previously hard-to-find demos and alternate versions.

The period captured here sits at a fascinating crossroads in British music: the tail end of the beat boom giving way to blues-rock, psychedelia and soulful singer-songwriter territory. Reid, managed and produced by Mickie Most, toured with major acts and was even approached by Jimmy Page to front what became Led Zeppelin (he politely declined and suggested a young Robert Plant instead). Though commercial success largely eluded him at the time, these recordings show why Reid was held in such high regard by his peers. The set offers a near-complete portrait of an artist on the cusp of greatness, just before his sound evolved further in the 1970s.

Reid possessed a strikingly expressive voice – capable of tender intimacy one moment and raw, soulful belting the next, with impressive control and dynamics. The collection spans a rich variety of styles: punchy beat-group material with the Jaywalkers, soulful covers such as “Stay With Me Baby” and “Ain’t That Peculiar,” blues-rock explorations, and extended psychedelic jams.

Standout moments include the hypnotic, ten-minute-plus takes on “Season of the Witch” and the medley “Writing on the Wall – Summertime Blues,” which showcase Reid’s ability to stretch songs into gripping improvisational territory. The title track “Superlungs My Supergirl” (a Donovan cover) bursts with energetic swagger, while gentler numbers like “Silver White Light,” “July” and “Marking Time” reveal a more reflective side. The set also features strong interpretations of Bob Dylan (“Highway 61 Revisited”) and other contemporary material, all delivered with Reid’s distinctive phrasing and emotional commitment.

Disc one leans towards earlier, more pop-oriented recordings, while disc two delves deeper into the heavier, bluesier and more expansive territory that defined his late-1960s reputation. The inclusion of mono mixes, alternate versions and a couple of 2003 remixes adds welcome depth for collectors.

This 2004 compilation has been well remastered, presenting the material with clarity and punch while retaining the warmth and character of the original analogue recordings. The mono focus for many tracks suits the era perfectly, delivering a direct, punchy sound that suits Reid’s powerful delivery. In near-mint condition, the two discs and packaging feel clean and well preserved, making this an attractive and comprehensive way to experience this chapter of Reid’s career.

Super Lungs: The Complete Studio Recordings 1966-1969 is an essential release for anyone interested in late-1960s British rock, soulful vocals or the “what if” stories of rock history. It showcases Terry Reid as a genuinely gifted singer with real star potential, delivering a consistently enjoyable and varied collection that rewards repeated listening. For fans of blues-rock, psychedelia and powerful British voices of the period, this double-CD set offers outstanding value as the definitive document of Reid’s formative years. A hidden gem that deserves far wider recognition. Highly recommended. (Classical33)

Massive Attack - 1998 - Mezzanine [20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 2018]

Massive Attack - 1998 - Mezzanine 

[20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 2018] @320

Originally released in 1998 and now widely hailed as Massive Attack‘s masterpiece – and voted 15th in Q Magazine’s 100 Greatest British Albums Ever (2000) – Mezzanine saw the band move away from the trip-hop sound they had helped define to embrace rock and electronica. To celebrate the album’s twentieth anniversary, Mezzanine has been remastered by Tim Young at Metropolis who has worked with the band for over twenty years.

All 8 of the Mad Professor remixes included here are previously unreleased and include his dub mixes of 2 tracks not originally featured on Mezzanine but from the same period; “Metal Banshee”, a dub version of ‘Superpredators’ which was a cover of Siouxie and the Banshee’s ‘Metal Postcard’, and “Wire”, a track they recorded for the soundtrack of the film Welcome to Sarajevo. The Mad Professor remixes were originally intended to be released on a Mad Professor Mezzanine remix album – as the band had done with previous album Protection (No Protection) – yet in the end only a number of his remixes were issued as single B-sides.

As per the original release, the artwork is by Hingston studios who have worked with Robert Del Naja from the band. This 3xLP super-deluxe boxset is pressed on coloured vinyl (two orange discs and one pink disc), and includes a 48 page hardback book featuring photos from Nick Knight that show the development of the striking cover imagery and an additional 32 page booklet which is a new edition of the art-book ‘Fitting In’ which Del Naja originally issued in 2000.
