5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest Heart songs you've never heard, December 27, 2000

By	Johny Bottom "Insane and lonely guitarist" (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

If you are only a casual Heart listener you may be familiar with the title track and 'Straight On' thanks to the radio. However 'Dog & Butterfly' should be listened the whole way through to be appreciated. The second side should not be divided into separate tracks ('Dog & Butterfly', 'Lighter Touch', 'Nada One', and finally 'Mistral Wind'), but should be listened to the whole way through to truly reach the place where Ann's vocals want to take you.

You'll never hear finer vocal work than Ann Wilson, and you'll be hard pressed to find better Ann Wilson than 'Dog & Butterfly'. Her haunting voice brings forth such emotions as wanting, hurting, and yearning, but also demands attention, and can grow into a rage. If there is a better female vocalist than Ann Wilson I never heard her, and probably no one else has either.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy no other music this year, BUY THIS!, August 10, 1998

By A Customer

There are many reasons to buy this album. It is a great concept work, with one side being rockers and the other side gentle ballads. What makes this cd really exciting though is a song called "Mistral Wind." It is a swirling melodic piece that whispers soft and finally peaks with thunderous abandon. The lyrics for this song are "visually exciting." A beautiful and poignant story painted with words and music. "Mistral Wind" is quite simply the most beautiful....song, I have ever heard. Heart in my opinion, is one of the great talents of rock and roll music. BUY THIS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Masterpiece, December 2, 1999

By	Bob (Wilmington, Delaware) - See all my reviews

I've been listening to this album for 20 years and have still not grown tired of it. The second half is a tour de force that still blows me away -- starting with the classic Dog & Butterfly followed by three of the most incredible songs to never get airtime -- Lighter touch, Nada One, and Mistral Wind. I would buy this album just to listen to Mistral Wind over and over again. If you don't have this album, buy it now! You will not be sorry.
