Jonathan Richman - You Must Ask The Heart (RSD Black Friday) [Pink Vinyl]

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of You Must Ask The Heart by Jonathan Richman. A lovelorn treasure recorded with a small, rotating cast and a light touch. You Must Ask the Heart distills Richman’s trademark openness—tender melodies, wry humor, and a wide-eyed romantic streak—into a set that feels like a living-room serenade.

The album moves from the moonlit sway of “Vampire Girl” to the stroll of “The Heart of Saturday Night,” and the bittersweet shuffle “Let Her Go Into the Darkness.” Long praised for its guileless charm and “joyfully spirited” delivery, the record occupies a special corner of his catalog. This edition is remastered from the original source tape by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl.
