You Still Got Me

Beth Hart’s 11th solo studio album, the October 2024 release of ‘You Still Got Me’, follows up her 2022 Led Zeppelin tribute album with 11 original songs spanning the genres of blues, rock, pop, ballads, a touch of jazz, and a delightful tongue-in-cheek country nod to Johnny Cash. All songs are written by her, with a little help from Rune Westberg and Glen Burtnik.

While this may not be her best work—those honors go to her collaborations with the incomparable guitarist Joe Bonamassa—listening to the bluesy evolution of her throaty voice is a joy to be cherished and treasured; an album that captures the pure magic that is Beth Hart.

Slash’s 2nd solo studio album, Orgy of the Damned, a rockin’ blues compilation released in May of 2024, is his best effort since GNR’s 1987 release ‘Appetite for Destruction’.

Following closely in the concept album footsteps of Carlos Santana’s ‘Supernatural and Shaman’, the album contains 11 standards and covers written by a who’s who list of American bluesmen including Robert Johnson (‘Crossroads’), Aaron Walker (‘Stormy Monday’), and Chester Burnett (‘Killing Floor’) plus a new instrumental, ‘Metal Chestnut’ written by Slash.

Slash assembled some of rock’s great guitarists and vocalists to accompany him on the album including Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), and blues vocalist Beth Hart.

Slash, with little memorable musical output since GNR, may have finally found his solo groove sans Axl.
