Album Of The Day: Paper Tapes by The Lonely Hearts

Album Art of The Lonely Hearts's Paper Tapes album - A photo of a white piece of paper, and attached to the paper in the middle ia an embossed white paper American flag, with small roses and other flowers covering parts of the flag. Actually, maybe it's not all made of paper, but is made of something else and just all painted that same off-white color as the paper. Over the top of this is printed in red the band name in very large, decorative red text. And at the bottom, embossed into the paper is the album title.

"All you need is love / To resurrect the little things / Your weary eyes have lost" Released 20 years ago today, this is only album by The Lonely Hearts, a rock band with a classic, blues rock sound and maybe a hint of country. Comprised of a few members of the short-lived Christian rock band Holland, it's a pretty good ten tracks of mostly mid-tempo rock. It's not an album I listen to often, but every time I do come back to it, I like it and wonder why I don't listen to it more often. Lyrically, these songs are mostly about love and life, and doesn't really contain that much religious ideas despite being mostly marketed to Christian music audiences. If you want to give a listen to some rock you've probably not heard before, give this a listen.
