Rolling Stone India Festival Review: Mahindra Blues Festival, Mumbai

Festival Review: Mahindra Blues Festival, Mumbai

The ninth edition of the festival featured performances by Beth Hart, Charlie Musselwhite and more

In an earlier interview with Rolling Stone India, Hart had been equally forthright and no holds barred in expressing herself and her feelings in word. She was clear that she was neither a blues nor a jazz singer although she grew up with her mother listening to Billie Holiday and her singing today seems to be about exorcising the “blues” in her life experiences. Her renditions of “Fire On The floor”, “My California,” “Mr. Jazzman,” “Chocolate Jesus,” “Sister Heroine “ and others, each had a tale to tell and whether the audience got the not so subtle subtleties involved in the lyrics, they were certainly zapped by the intensity of her delivery.
