AMG Review of Heart Presents a Lovemonger's Christmas [Sovereign Artists]

Thom Jurek
All Music Guide

The Lovemongers are the unplugged side of Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson. A Lovemonger's Christmas is a collection of mostly original seasonal material with a couple of classic nuggets thrown in such as "O Holy Night," and "Ave Maria " (it's not really a Christmas song, but what the hell). Sue Ennis, Craig Bartock, and Frank Cox join the sisters, among others. This is a low-key affair that is not without its charm, but it's nothing to set the world on fire either, like Jupiter's Darling, the Heart comeback album, issued earlier this year. Nice stuff.
