My comment about Steve Watts being an idiot was (I thought!) fairly obviously a joke but I got a variety of mails from Dutch friends telling me how much the review liked Steve and how I must have mis translated it! heres what google translate makes of it...Jo Harman has long been involved with music. Through her live performances, she developed her musical talents and let it quietly maturing. The influential agency Bepop received at a particular moment Jo Harman in sight and from then on everything was accelerated. Thanks to this agency was Jo in the programs, have The Cranberries, Don McLean, Mick Hucknall and Johnny Winter, and she could also perform her own shows at many major festivals. These opportunities they fully utilized and her well-received debut album Dirt On My Tongue was the name Jo Harman at a household name in the music world. The singer has a voice that is both exceptional blues, soul, rock and gospel handle and she has an excellent band. Now its only job is to continue and confirm that it is definitely not easy. The new live CD Jo Harman And Company - Live At The Royal Albert Hall, recorded by the BBC are we just listen closely. The album Live At The Royal Albert Hall start smooth and funky with Through The Night. Miss Harman has a great band behind him, you hear all of the beginning. The instruments sound pretty balanced and the bass and the drums have a nice deep and pure sound. Steve Watts, the man behind the keys in these end Through The Night are all the stops and let us really enjoy his energetic and sublime game. Of smooth and funky, to very intimate and understated Jo Harman is only a small step. With very feeling Jo sings the ballad Cold Heart that can be found on her debut album. A cover which currently makes a great revival is definitely Is not No Love In The Heart Of The City. This song was already recorded in 1974 by Bobby Blue but was in our region especially in the version of Whitesnake. Harman gives the song its own personal touch. Steve Watts was again superb on the keys and the guitar is to lick. Thumbs and fingers What genre also follows the voice of Jo adapts and lives fully in the number. In the ballad This Is My Amnesty she sounds at times very fragile, but then she gets very bright out. The guitar adds a handsome bold solo an extra touch to this rather very beautiful song. It comes back a little more panache and pace in concert with the up tempo song Underneath The River and Steve Watts again steals the show with an impressive finger on his game keys. Jo says before she begins to sing, for the first time what this song is about. Its simple, its just a little crazy and I was really mad at the moment I Underneath The River wrote. Here the British hear what a great vocal range has them. Carried by the warm tones of the piano follows the quiet song Sweet Man Moses, an ode to her deceased father, with whom she had a very good relationship and unfortunately the real breakthrough of his daughter has never witnessed. Harman continues the intimate way with the sugar-sweet Sideways in which the particular vocal qualities of the singer will be put in the paint. I do get goosebumps from the intense fat guitar solo in the middle of Sideways. At that time the song gets the necessary pit before I do something missing. Close does the UK with Better Woman with one hell of a song. Beautiful rhythm changes and a top rhythm section with Andy Tolman on bass guitar and Martin Johnson on drums. Steve Watts on keyboards is again very good and clear. In conclusion, we can nevertheless say that Jo Harman one hell of a singer, a feast for the eye and the ear. She also has a formidable band behind her. The songs were sometimes slightly brighter for me, with a little more pace, it was rather on the quiet side with many slower songs. But that view is personal and is happy with everyone else. Live At The Royal Albert Hall is a very enjoyable album and I am sure we will hear a lot of these first-rate singer. Within the next few years
