Heart tabs.
MISSING SOME KEY ELEMENTS Bebe LeStrange was okay though not as great as their first 4 albums. I am not a big fan of Heart's 80's or 90's stuff. My complaint is this- When is Heart going to do a 70's greatest hits album? That's when they were the best. It was more organic and rockin'. A semi-Zeppelinish rock sound with a gourgeous voice to boot.
This compilation is missing 3 songs from that era; "Magazine", "Mistral Wind", and "Devil Delight". . . . "Dog and a Butterfly" would even surfice for any of the last few tracks. . . . . Peace anyways!.
Excellent collection
If you dig Heart, this is an essential addition to your collection. I bought this as a gift, and while listening to it with them, realized how many great songs there are on this album.
I loved Heart
The sisters always amazed me with their vocal and guitar solos. Heart was one of my favorite groups from the past.
The Best Compilation of The Early Stuff For The Money
00. Here is a great buy that can be found for usually less than $10. If you, like myself just wanted a short summary of the early years (before MTV) this is it. All of the Heart classics on one CD without the 80's radio friendly ballads.
Magic Man, Crazy on You, Barracuda, Kick it Out, Love Alive, Dog and Butterfly, Even it Up, Straight On, mostly the guitar oriented stuff and including Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll. The song list reads like a tribute band's song list. If you like me, don't want to shell out over $20. 00 for a compilation this is it.
It doesn't contain everything they ever did but only the highlights, the guitar oriented songs. I don't need a compilation that takes over 2 hours to get through. I just want to hear "Barracuda" once in a while without the filler from those days. .
Beware of version of Dreamboat Annie
But Dreamboat Annie has always been my favorite Heart song and the version on this CD is a slower version than the familiar one I grew up listening to on the radio. I love Heart, and nearly all of the songs on the CD are the original favorites. I wish I had read Amazon's reviews before purchasing this CD because others have expressed disappointment about Dreamboat Annie as well.
