Powerhouse singer Mahalia Barnes, one of the most impressive female vocalists to come out of Australia, and her band The Soul Mates have teamed up with American blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa to release an album of Betty Davis covers called OOH YEA: THE BETTY DAVIS SONGBOOK. It was recorded live over three days at Freight Train Studios in Sydney, Australia and was released on 24th February 2015 by J&R Adventures and explores tracks from Betty Davis’ sexy, raw funk records of the early ‘70s. Betty Davis’s unique story is still fairly unknown. She married Miles Davis in the late ‘60s, influencing him with psychedelic rock, and introducing him to Jimi Hendrix. Later, she released three genre-busting albums, that have since influenced artists like Outkast, Prince, Erykah Badu, Rick James, The Roots, Ice Cube, Talib Kweli and Ludacris. Mahalia Barnes, eldest daughter of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes and recent contestant on The Voice, has been around music her whole life but has always been most heavily influenced by soul, blues and rock n’ roll. Throughout the years she was exposed to Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Ike And Tina Turner and later, became enthralled with artists like Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder as well as grittier singers like Ann Peebles, Betty Lavette and Betty Davis.

In 2014 year, Mahalia was in the studio with her dad and internationally acclaimed super-producer, Kevin Shirley, when she played Kevin some Betty Davis tracks as a reference. It was then that the idea to record the album OOH YEA: THE BETTY DAVIS SONGBOOK was born. Betty Davis is wild, free, nasty, raw, funky, intense, powerful and sexy. Mahalia Barnes always wanted to make a record that sounds like what she was doing. Ambitious? Undoubtedly. Left of center? Perhaps. But the result? Nothing short of spectacular. Tackling some of Betty’s all-time greatest tracks, it’s safe to say that Mahalia holds her own… and then some! Kevin Shirley enlisted Bonamassa to lend his skills on the record. Heralded as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Bonamassa soars on this album. Making this album was a real joy for Mahalia Barnes. She love the realness. Recording it the way they did kept it really exciting and raw - no tricks or fix ups, old school and real. A perfect take is one that means something and feels great. OOH YEA: THE BETTY DAVIS SONGBOOK is certainly Mahalia’s most ambitious and prodigious work to date. It’s a record of songs with passion, feeling, power and grit that celebrates one of the most progressive voices of funk and R&B. Do yourself a favor and listen. You won’t regret it.
