"Bless Your Heart" was Freddie Hart's third number one hit in a year. The prolific country singer and composer kept the songs coming on Bless Your Heart, his hit album from 1972. Hart wrote or co-wrote six of the ten songs, including the title track. The album strays a bit from the romantic ballads at which Hart excels and offers up some gritty fare in David Frizzell's "Hungry Row," a downcast depiction of poverty. As if to ameliorate that cut's somber tone, Hart follows it up with the optimistic "I'm Not Going Hungry." "Human Rat Race" has something of a rhumba rhythm and a touch of Caribbean color in its arrangement, and stands with "Hungry Row" as one of the two stylistic orphans on the album, since the rest are heartfelt ballads. The love songs reflect Hart's desire to "write songs with words that every man would like to say and every woman would like to hear," a mission he unquestionably accomplished, at least for the country audience, in the 1970s. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi
