HEART A Lovemonger's Christmas Eagle Records (2006)
Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson have the Lovemongers as their more acoustic based band and this Christmas collection first saw the light of day back in 2004 under the Lovemongers name, although it gets a re-release here under the more marketable Heart banner.
It's a mix of new songs and some traditional tunes including a spine tingling version of 'Ave Maria'. 'Here Is Christmas' and 'Christmas Waits' just show what soothing and melodic voice the Wilson sisters have, although 'Let's Stay In' veers to close to jazz/lounge music for my personal taste.
A quiet and melodic Christmas album, not a party album by any means and one that will appeal to Heart's longer standing fans, those that enjoy the band's 70's folk tinged output.
