Allies by Heart, Written by Cain

[Onestepper]

I know this was discussed briefly in the Heart Set List thread, but stumbled across this on the You, and just thought that I would have loved to have heard a Cain/Perry version. Was always, and will always be my favorite Heart tune.

Besides Allies, I thought How can I refuse was alright on that album. Allies unfortunately has the dubious distinction of being Heart's lowest charting single in the U.S.

oh yea !!! How Can i Refuse was a great one.. forgot all about that one..

ok.. how about going on record and saying that Private Audition was their weakest release..

i dont remember when Nancy and Fisher broke up .. but maybe it was around this time..

that guys was such a good guitar player..

Without a doubt
I remember seeing the City's Burning video on MTV and saying what the hell? How do you go from Barracuda to this?

Yep, but if you put the best songs on the three together, you got a pretty good record!
HOW CAN I REFUSE is still one of their finest songs, I think (certianly of the "Big Hair" period) and I;ve always loved ALLIES, but I think a Perry version wouldn't have worked- that song needs a woman's voice.

Agree that the female voice worked well with the song. The thing that always stuck with me on the song though was the piano progression.
