This
seven song disc from Nicole Hart & The NRG Band recorded live in the
summer of 2006 in Connecticut features the sexy blues vocals of Nicole
Hart and a slew of top notch musicians and guests. The disc kicks off with
the eight minute workout "I Heard" written by and featuring keyboardist
Lance Ong who has worked with David Sanborn and others. Grammy nominee
Gil Parris adds a nice mid song guitar solo on "I Heard". Stanley Behrens
who has played with Willie Dixon and other blues giants adds his harmonica
and tenor sax talents to some tracks as well. Other tracks of note include
a nice run thru The Allman Brothers classic "Hot 'Lanta", Koko Taylor's
"Voodoo Woman" and the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame member Tom Hambridge
written "It Hurts So Bad". You can get more information about Nicole Hart
