Review :
{$Pat Benatar}'s forgotten 1997 album, {^Innamorata}, is an acoustic-heavy collection in keeping with the organic, acoustic trend popular in the '90s, yet still incorporates {$Benatar}'s trademark {\rock & roll} soul. The songs on this set are not the traditional electric guitar fare -- these songs are fleshed out with strings and acoustic guitars, yet they still manage to {\rock} like {$Benatar}'s best. The album has its share of moody, bluesy songs, such as {&"Dirty Little Secrets"} and {&"I Don't Want to Be Your Friend,"} as well as acoustic {\ballads}, such as {&"Papa's Roses."} But the best are the straight-ahead rockers like {&"At This Time,"} {&"River of Love"} (which also possesses an irresistibly soulful groove), the catchy, radio-ready {&"Only You,"} and the amazing {&"Strawberry Wine."} The album is mature, the music is soulful and gutsy, and {$Benatar}'s operatic voice is in fine form. This sadly overlooked set is a must for any self-respecting fan of one of {\rock & roll}'s true top-notch queens, and proves that this gal's artistry is right on track. ~ Jose F.
