昔、一世を風靡したHeart。曲はAll I Wanna Do Is make Love To You、ほかにも80年代に使われたCF曲が気になって集めています。 「オールドフォレスター」のBlackでWonderfulや「パイオニア・ロンサムカウボ−イ」Ry CooderのGo Home,Girlなどなど。
最大の聞き物は、 「ALONE」と「ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU」という2大名曲が、 最高の絶唱とアコースティックアレンジで聴けること。 あのかすれ声、姉妹ならではの絶妙ハーモニー。 ライブならではの熱。アコースティックのため感。 エレキギターのソロが入る代わりに、 弦楽器とアコギのアルペジオになる気持ち良さ。 プロデュースは、ジョン・ポール・ジョーンズ(LED ZEPPELIN)。
Typically fans of Heart fall into one of two camps, `70s album rock fans, or `80s Power ballad fans. I am a huge fan of the former, and a fan with less fanaticism about the latter. But I also fall into a third category as a huge fan of the more acoustic pieces. Love Alive, Dreamboat Annie (the song), Dream of the Archer, etc are some of my very favorites from what is probably my very favorite band.
I still recall when I saw Heart on their first headline tour supporting "Dreamboat Annie", and the first time Ann played a bar on the flute, I was hers for life. During that show which was curiously opened by a pop group (Player.. "Baby Come Back"), the crowd was in a very mellow mood, wanting to sit on the floor and wave the lighters. Ann was kind of befuddled about the reaction, and Said "Wow you guys really like the quiet stuff; Someday we'll come back and play a show like that... But tonight we're gonna ROCK & ROLL!
To this day, it was one of the best shows I ever saw. But I still am waiting for that show. I wish I would have been in the club where "The Road Home" was recorded, because it is the show I always wanted to see. These songs are performed largely acoustic, give or take, and have a very intimate feel. A lot of performers use the line Ann does in this set of "Welcome to our Living Room", but it really has that feel. The versions on this song you can readily imagine being at one of the sister's houses and watching a jam session like this from them and a few friends.
This is definitely a CD every Heart fan should own, but I think it is an album anyone would enjoy would enjoy, even if they didn't know they were fans yet.
5つ星のうち5.0Unbelievable sonics, unexpected treats on many songs, and of course Ann & Nancy, perfection!

The music leapt from the speakers as if I was in the club with the amazing Wilson ladies. I am still a little stunned, but I want more live albums like this in my collection. John Paul Jones is the producer, and the sonics are as good as I have heard on a CD. I want this on SACD or vinyl as well, but these gems are getting harder to find. The Greatest Hits CD has Straight On (live acoustic) as well, but it sounds better on this CD for some reason. Play this one a bit loud, you will get up and dance around the room.
There's only one word to describe this............Fantastic, Marvellous, Brilliant, incredible............Oh!!!, sorry, that is quite a few word. If you like Heart, It does not get any better than this. Dear "ANN" still has the voice and the guitar sounds just awesome in "Nancy's" hands. Call it "unplugged" call it "Stripped" call it what you like. This is acoustic at its very best. Thank you girls!
