BEST OF ALL,

This review is from: Passionworks (Audio CD)
The space here is too short to describe Passionworks. I owned it on vinyl in the 80's but had to own it on CD, it's THE BEST Heart album of their entire career. Too bad it didn't get any promo. But real music "connaisseurs" know that this album is a pure jewel.

Contains One of the All-Time Hidden Gems,

This review is from: Passionworks (Audio CD)
I was lucky enough to see Heart on their Passionworks tour back in 1984, and I'm glad I did because I might have overlooked this fine effort. For some reason, their record company didn't publicize this record very much. That's too bad, because Passionworks has some great songs on it. How Can I Refuse, Sleep Alone, Blue Guitar, & Allies all really stand out.The highlight of this record, however, is when Nancy Wilson takes over the vocals on Love Mistake. I would go so far as to rank it as the best Heart song ever, which is saying a lot. When Nancy sang it in concert, she literally stopped the show. 20 years later, it still sounds as good as it did the night I saw her do it live. This song alone is worth the price of the CD.

The 'forgotten' Heart album.,
By Johny Bottom "Insane and lonely guitarist" (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Passionworks (Audio CD)
I don't know why this album isn't platinum three times over by now. This is by far my favorite Heart album of all time. The material that Ann and Nancy for this disc is some of their best, it blows away their previous release 'Private Audition' by leaps and bounds. For some odd reason this album just seems to be forgotten or unheard of. Any Heart fan not familiar with it will be both presently surprised by the songs and shocked that they are not being performed live by the Heart Sisters today. For a breakdown....How can I Refuse. - A great opener to a great album. Very upbeat tempo and Ann gets you ready for the rest of the album. Blue Guitar - As a guitar player myself, this has always been a favorite of mine. Just put all your faith in six strings. This and Foreigner's 'Juke Box Hero' are the greatest tributes to rocks MVP, the electric guitar. Johny Moon - OK I admit, this is my least favorite song on the album. I don't particularly like it. It's too slow, too moody, and very strange. I know of other fans who dig this. But I never got it. Some ghost like guy walking through walls is subject matter that Heart should leave to someone else. Sleep Alone - OK we're back on track here. Ann sounds awesome as always. Together Now - A great harmony during the chorus. Ann and Nancy always sounded spectacular together as a duet. This song highlights them. Allies - Does anything sound better than Ann and a piano? Ann Wilson's voice has such a range of emotions she brings out while singing. Ann is one of the greatest female singers of all time and 'Allies' is one of the highlights of her career. Beat by Jealousy - Another great song that's fits in well with the feel of this album. With the exception of 'Johny Moon', every song on this album fits together like a puzzle. I always thought Ann and Nancy were going through a very emotional time to write songs like this. Heavy Heart - A beautiful and somber number. Great chorus and some of the best lyrics on the album. Love Mistake - The crown jewel of this album. If you thought Nancy sounded beautiful on Heart's 'These Dreams', you'll be blown away by this number. This song should have been a number one smash hit. Nancy sounds so sweet and vulnerable on this. I'd love to see her sing this live Language of Love - Again Ann and Nancy producing a great harmony here for the chorus. Ambush - A bit of a rocker to close the album out. Not as fast as 'Kick it Out', but a strong number just the same. Ann sounds frisky and sly on this one, very sexy.
