The Verdict

The classic rock sister act has yet another compilation of their material out on the market. The track listing for this album is, as the title suggests, composed entirely of their better known love songs.

There's no real twist in the material here other than the fact that five of the songs are represented by live tracks instead of their original studio recordings. Three of the five live songs come from their performance on the PBS show Soundstage.

There's nothing wrong with this album. I'm a willing participant in the quest to have all of Heart's material. But even those of us who are huge fans of the band have to recognize this for the blatant money grab that this album is.

The songs used are just fine, but if you aren't already a fan of the band, I don't know that this will be the best way to introduce the Wilson sisters to you.

Hopefully, Ann and Nancy will now get down to business and record another all new studio album. Enough with the compilations already!
