Dog and Butterfly is the fourth studio album by Heart, released in 1978. Heart rebounded from below average sales from Magazine, as Dog and Butterfly was certified double platinum, spent 36 weeks on the charts, and peaked at number seventeen on the U.S. Billboard 200. The album contained two hit singles; "Straight On", and "Dog and Butterfly".
As Heart themselves noted on the album's release, Side 1 was the "Dog" side, and was the more "rocking" compared to the "Butterfly" Side 2, which was all ballads, with the exception of "Mistral Wind," which, in many ways, epitomized the trademark sound for Heart would be remembered: folksy ballads shifting into searing hard rock explosions. The opening track "Cook with Fire" sounds like a live recording, but was in fact recorded in the studio with live audience sounds overdubbed.
