Went to see them live , with a friend who knew all about them.. Classed as punk ..Well the album is punk / rock / rock n roll ..needs that extra level 11 to just finish the neighbourhood off .Bleeding from the eyes and ears stumbling around mumbling "BURN THIS CITY DOWWWWNNNNNNNN.

I have watched this on dvd ..Its a glorious journey into mrs harts life. She's very withdrawn when talking to the camera ..when she's on the piano she goes into her own world ..Then live to the audience she comes alive ...The energy is enough to light Amsterdam for a couple of weeks. That rasping voice goes to sexy smooth with out a pause ...Then on to the high energy rocking songs , that shake the foundations of the Paradiso. I first found her on joe bonamassa albums . I found her voice very R N B edging towards the bluesy side. Which i'm a big fan of. This woman has lived a rocky life , esp. through addiction .This comes through her performance like she's weeping and bleeding with life's wounds up on stage and her wounds won't heal.. She's good , very good ....She gives her all right to the end And likes to get up and personal with the crowd ..Like 6 inches away looking into peoples eyes. She's stunning , but by the end of the concert she's hot and dripping with sweat ..Not quite the fantasy ive had. SHE BELTS THE MUSIC OUT ..GIVES 100% OF HER SELF
