Jeff Lynne told Rolling Stone magazine that the idea came from him listening to the original Electric Light Orchestra recordings, and thinking that he could produce a better result having since had a long career as a record producer. Lynne decided to re-record a number of songs from scratch, and began with "Mr. Blue Sky". He told Rolling Stone: "I enjoyed doing that a lot, and when I listened back to it and compared it to the old one, I really liked it much better." It was suggested by his manager that Lynne record a few more versions of Electric Light Orchestra songs, the results being recordings of "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic". Lynne also liked these versions, so he continued by producing a full album of re-recordings.

Balance of Power was the last studio album by the Electric Light Orchestra before their initial disbanding (the band would later reform in 2000 and again in 2014). By this time Kelly Groucutt had departed and the group was pared down to a trio of Jeff Lynne (who doubled on bass as a result of Groucutt's absence), Richard Tandy, and Bev Bevan. Recording for the album began in mid of 1984, with a planned release for Spring 1985. The addition of several synthesizer tracks and mixing work by Reinhold Mack to the album caused its release to be pushed back to early 1986. ELO played some live concerts in the UK and Europe (their last for fifteen years), and for one UK show George Harrison performed as guest guitarist.

Grammy Nominated singer/songwriter Beth Hart treats fans to an intimate performance at New York’s Iridium in this special episode of Front & Center. She first rose to fame in 1999 with her single “LA Song (Out of This Town)” which was a number one hit in New Zealand and peaked in the top five on the US Adult Contemporary chart and number 7 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 Chart. Hart performs some material from her latest album, Fire On the Floor, including “Jazz Man,” “Let’s Get Together,” and “Fat Man.”

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, Beth Hart, has never sounded better (musically and spiritually) that she does on her new album, Better Than Home. What makes Better Than Home quite possibly her greatest album is that it is her most introspective work ever, because it goes to the depth of her soul, revealing terrible pain in her past, family issues and personal demons as well as her coming to grips with them and using that knowledge to find the real beauty in her life.
This is an incredibly moving, self written and composed, album that’s going to reach people on a very personal level, because a one-of-a-kind artist found the perfect formula for exposing her very private inner voice and empowering it with her legendary outer voice.

37 Days is an album by American singer Beth Hart released in parts of Europe in 2007, followed in the UK in 2008. A DVD version of the album is also available, where each track is played to synced pro-shot video footage of that given song being recorded in studio. The UK version of the CD release contains live bonus tracks of "LA Song," "Learning to Live," and "Leave the Light On" tacked on at the end of the disc. The track "Soul Shine" is a cover of the song "Soulshine", originally written by Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes.
