Free Music Notes for Essential Heart
Free Music Review: Remastered Perfection!
Hit: 5 Stars
It took the talents of not one but two top level producers to digitally remaster this compilation. It shows- big time. With the exception of the songs from the 1st album all songs sound like they were recorded and produced yesterday. The re-mastering brings out nuances not heard on the vinyl or original recording CDs. The bottom end and guitar solos are tight. Ann's voice soars like never before with expanded headroom and endless clarity. The producers knew what they were doing it really, really shows. Playing air guitar really pisses my girlfriend off to the point were she will not even speak to me for hours if I rock out in public. Well this CD had me in my isolated splendor. She can't dig my riffs! Funny she does not mind my air drums though.
This is the best compliation album representing esoteric selections that you would not want to buy the whole album for, (rock 'n roll), commercial hits like Magic Man, and gems that received short lived air play like "How Can I Refuse".
I hate greatest hits compilations. This one truly is "Essential".

Free Music Review: It's all here, folks!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am famous for blasting the compilations of big-name artists for omissions of one or more of their big hits. This is the case for most such compilations, but this one is the exception! This 2-CD set spans Heart's entire career. Every one of their big hits is here, even the ones which charted during their oft-criticized shift in style during the 80's. It brought back many good memories to hear again the tunes which many radio stations have avoided.
In addition, the selection of lesser-known cuts turns out to be a very welcome addition. It takes this kind of rock talent to do justice to Zeppelin's "Rock & Roll", and at the same time add an emotional cover of "Unchained Melody".
Heart became famous for proving that "the girls can rock". They did that so well, but there are other dimensions to the group which can be enjoyed in this set.
Free Music Review: The Most Complete Heart Collection So far!
Hit: 5 Stars
This newly remastered 2-cd collection by Canadian rockers Heart is their most complete collection so far. This collection includes hits from their debut release "Dreamboat Annie" (1975) to "The Road Home" (1994) spanning some 19 years of music. This collection includes all their great hits such as "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "Barracuda", "Heartless", "What About Love?", "Never", "Nothin' At All", "Alone", "Who Will You Run To", etc. The sound quality of this two cd collection is excellent and Epic/Capitol/Legacy has put together an excellent collection from these Canadian rockers, headed by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson. Also included are some nice liner notes and colorful photographs of the Wilson sisters and the group as a whole. If you don't own any Heart cd's than this collection is all you'll ever need. Highly Recommended!Free Music Review: A Very Good Overview
Hit: 5 Stars
With nearly a dozen Heart compilations from various points in their 25 year history, one may ask, "Why the need for another one?" The answer? Whenever you see "The Essential" in white in front of an artists name in red, you can rest assured this is the best compilation around (see The Essential Barbra Streisand). Every Heart album (save the 1982 snoozer "Private Audition") is represented on this collection usually by several tracks. With a whopping 37 tracks, this set generously serves up numerous songs from each era of the band. Most compilations usually leave at least one crucial song off, but not this one. Every milestone track is here. Enjoy these pioneering women of rock!
