<p class="MsoNormal">Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter <b>Beth Hart’s</b> acclaimed new<b>
</b>album,<b> <i>Better Than Home</i></b>, has debuted at<b><i> </i>#1 on the</b>
<b>Billboard Blues Chart and the iTunes Blues Chart</b>. The album marks an exciting evolution in Beth’s sound, and one that comes straight from her soul. Going back to her singer-songwriter roots was cathartic for Hart, who penned each song.
