Beth Hart has announced a new album.
'A Tribute To Led Zeppelin' does what it says on the tin and finds the American singer-songwriter covering select tracks from the legendary English rock band's discography.
The follow-up to 2019's 'War In My Mind' will arrive on February 25 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group, and boasts production by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance), while engineering was handled by Doug McKean (Goo Goo Dolls, Adam Lambert).
The record sees Hart joined by an impressive roster of musicians:Cavallo on guitar along with Tim Pierce (Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner), Chris Chaney (Rob Zombie, Slash) on bass, Jamie Muhoberac (Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones) on keyboards, drummer Dorian Crozier (Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus, Joe Cocker) — though Matt Laug (Alanis Morissette, Alice Cooper) played drums on Stairway To Heaven. Orchestral arrangements were handled by David Campbell (Muse, Beyoncé).
Cavallo suggested Hart make the album when he was producing its predecessor and heard her do an impromptu cover of Whole Lotta Love, but initially she refused:
"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.
"Then the pandemic and all the things around it hit. So now I'm pissed off. I called my manager and said, have Rob and Doug send me all the music because I am ready to do this.
"This Zeppelin album allowed me to get all my rage out, and for that, I'm really grateful."
