Another Repackaging of POOR HEART feat. Lou Gramm

Lou Gramm and Foreigner fans will recognize these tracks from the 1970 release by one of Lou's former bands, Poor Heart. It's been released and re-released under various titles (Poor Heart, Stranger in a Strange Land, Mystic Foreigner). Unfortunately, the band utilized three lead vocalists, so then 19-year old Lou Grammatico was not prominently featured. That signature Lou sound is mostly absent here, though there are glimpses, particularly on "Won't Somebody Take Her Home." Fans of The Guess Who, Wishbone Ash and early Jefferson Airplane might find this an interesting musical time capsule, but the songs are not particularly strong. Those looking for pre-Foreigner Lou may find his mid-70s band, Black Sheep, more to their liking.
