Beth Hart: Bang Bang Boom Boom Pic Ltd Clr

LP Record Hart's fourth album, Bang Bang Boom Boom, was released in 2012. The album was produced by Kevin Shirley, who also produced Hart's previous album, Don't Explain. Hart and Shirley recorded the album at Shirley's studio in Las Vegas. The album features Hart's regular band, comprising guitarists Jon Nichols and Waddy Wachtel, bassist Bob Glaub, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Jim Cox. Hart stated that the album was inspired by her divorce from her first husband, actor Scott Baio. She said, "I was in a really bad place. I was really angry and hurt. I was in a lot of pain, and I was really pissed off. I was like, 'I'm not going to be a victim. I'm going to get up and do something with this pain.'"
