Lost Gem: "Heart To Heart" - Aldo Nova (1982)


"She dreams
that if only
they could've seen heart to heart..."
~ Aldo Nova ~



Aldo Nova set the bar high with the tour-de-force rocker..."Fantasy"...which opens his self-titled debut.

Powerful and exciting...the song went on to become a staple at sporting events everywhere.

But this Canadian rocker was more than just a one-trick pony. Aldo has produced records and written songs for acts as diverse as Bon Jovi...Blue Oyster Cult...and the songstress Celine Dion.
His fine debut is filled with plenty of good rock songs and ballads...with a couple of tracks that should have broke large. If you're into cherry-picking, you'll definitely want to checkout..."Ball and Chain"..."Foolin' Yourself"...and my "lost gem".

 Lost Gem:--> "Heart To Heart"...is urgency at its finest. Wicked blistering guitar spank pushes the listener to the cliff-edge. 

Have you heard this one?
There's a girl in the street, you should see the tears in her eyes
'Cause she weeps for a man who told her lies
And the man that she loved left her for somebody new
And the girl, she dreams that if only they could've seen

 Heart to heart, oh, eye to eye
Love is a lie
Heart to heart, oh, eye to eye
Love is a lie
One day he's gonna pay

 There's a man down the street
You can't see the pain in his heart
And he weeps for a love that he has lost
And the man left a love to go and find somebody new
Like the girl in his dream, now if only they could've seen

 Good stuff!

Interview:-- Joan Staley (Actress - Classic Movies & Television)

  "Elvis,  do you really want me to slap you?"  ~ Joan Staley ~     So my friends and I were talking about first crushes. First tv and movie crushes.  For me, it was easy.  It was Alma. (Joan Staley)   I broke into the double-digit age of 10 in 1993.  That was the summer I discovered my favorite Don Knotts movie while flipping thru cable one Saturday morning... "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." Everyone has seen it.  It was a funny haunted house story similar to an episode on Andy G. with a cast of familiar characters, trippy organ music, and the prettiest girl I had ever seen...Alma. She was beautiful alright.  I was love-stung so bad, I swear I could smell flowers coming out of the TV set.  And best of all, she was nice.  She didn't like the smart alec, the wise guy, or the show-off.  Alma was digging Luther (Don Knotts) and that just made her that much prettier.  And from then on... But unfortunately, time and puberty wouldn't let her wait

Interview:--> Terry Kirkman (The Association)

"...Not only learned to think, but to care.  Not only learned to think, but to dare." ~ The Association ~  With one of the most bad-ass songs about the herb that no one was quite sure about, yet everyone understood...to the anti-war homage that was both beautiful and pointed... The Association . From gentle psych pop spinneries that tease the mind...to the lush vocal and instrumental arrangements that melt the heart... The Association. The Association were all of these and none of these. Lead by co-founder Terry Kirkman, it was never an "either/or" about the music.  No pigeonhole here.  It was simply "all" about the music.  And having at least 3 of the most radio-played songs in history...I'd say The Association were on to something. TERRY KIRKMAN INTERVIEW  01/26/2015 Casey Chambers:  In the summer of '67, The Association had the opportunity to perform at the iconic Monterey Pop Festival.  How cool was that? Terry Kirkma

Interview -- Henry Lee Summer (Singer/Songwriter)

"I just always have played music.  For better   or worse, I banked my whole life on it." ~ Henry Lee Summer ~     It's strange how music lets you travel through time as if there truly was no time.  I played the shit out of this album growing up.  Nothing deep or complicated.  Nothing outta bounds.  Nothing to get hung about.  It's deceptively simple.  But here's the thing... Henry Lee Summer  is serving aces all over this heartland square. This is the 35th anniversary of Henry Lee Summer's self-titled album and this one falls under that sweet spot between raucous and chill.  It's a large cup of iced coffee with a nice soulful blend.  Not usually my type of go-to and yet this album easily fills a void I didn't know I had.  Let this spin be your own private Idaho.  " Check it out, Leroy!"   Henry Lee Summer... Go get you some. Henry Lee Summer Interview -- August 2023 Henry Lee Summer Casey Chambers:  Well, this is the 35th anniversary of you
