Tell me more: The 50th Anniversary edition of America's 1975 album Hearts is glorious. The George Martin-produced album features the captivating hits "Sister Golden Hair," "Daisy Jane  and "Woman Tonight." And the wealth of sonic classics extend beyond those radio favorites to include the rousing rocker "Half A Man," dreamy "Midnight," shimmering ballad "Bell Tree," Americana-styled "Old Virginia," bewitching Baroque-tinged "People In The Valley" and more.

The expanded reissue also includes five previously unissued studio bonus tracks plus the audio CD debut of "Sister Golden Hair" in Spanish ("Con Tu Pelo Tan Dorado"). The colorful 12-page booklet features new liner notes by Joe Marchese (theseconddisc.com) including interviews with founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell. Beckley reminisces in a new interview in the album's notes: "We learned an immense amount from them (Martin and legendary Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick) that we applied the minute we started on Hearts." Now listeners can rediscover the magic of the legendary album via an outstanding reissue available now.
