Don’t Explain is the debut collaboration between American singer-songwriter BETH HART and the acclaimed blues guitarist JOE BONAMASSA (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION).

The album, made up exclusively of intimate soul cover versions, will be released in the UK and Europe on Monday, September 26th via Provogue Records.

A teaser for the track 'Well, Well' can be heard below:

Produced by Kevin Shirley (AEROSMITH, Black Country Communion, THE BLACK CROWES), Don't Explain perfectly combines Hart's raspy and soulful vocal with Bonamassa's unique guitar sound, as the pair unite on a stunning collection of hand-picked soul tracks, as performed by celebrated artists such as GIL SCOTT-HERON, TOM WAITS, ETTA JAMES, ARETHA FRANKLIN and more.

After crossing paths with Beth and her band on the road numerous times, Joe Bonamassa recalls how Don’t Explain came about: "I was up late one night, I couldn't sleep. I was playing songs on my iPod from the reissue of (ROLLING STONES) Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, which included all the opening acts from that Stones show," says Bonamassa. "As soon as the Ike & Tina tracks came on, I just said out loud, 'Beth Hart'. I emailed Kevin, saying, 'Let's do a soul covers record with Beth', and he replied back, 'Actually, that's a great idea'."
