This release is part of Sony's "Love Songs" collection. Heart already has several compilation albums out there, but this one is a little different. This album contains three previously unreleased tracks. "Alone", "Love Song" and "These Dreams" are all from 2005's PBS Soundstage show. The other albums represented here are: "Greatest Hits/Live" (1980), "Private Audition" (1982), "Dog & Butterfly" (1978), "Alive In Seattle" (2003), "Jupiter's Darling" (2004), "Passionworks" (1983), "Little Queen" (1977) and "Heart" (1985).
I like that they didn't use the same old songs over again for this set. I also like that they threw in some new unreleased live tracks. Even if you already own every Heart album, this one is a little different and worth the price.

Heart is one of the great bands of the 70's and 80's. And with a name like Heart, it's a sure bet they'll have some love songs. This collection is great for people who are listening to this fantastic group for the first time, but it only offers one "new" song, which is a cover of Elton John's "Love Song". All in all in it is good, but if you are versed in Heart, you probably have all but that one song.

In 2006, Heart released their twenty-third album entitled, LOVE SONGS. You think Heart is just all-around Hard Rock? Well, Heart is allowed to have a little...Heart. This album features a good deal of "Love Songs". Some songs on here are of uptempo and hard rocking sound, but for the most part, the songs on here are among the greatest of Heart ballads.

This is for all Heart fans who have a little...Heart. This is a great ballads album and it is a must-have for all the Heart fans out there with all Heart.

This is a nice collection of songs from one of the greatest rock bands around! I'm always excited to see CD's from Heart. They continue after all these years to be nothing but great!
