Amore (The Hooters album)

Amore is the debut studio album by American rock band the Hooters, released in 1983.

[9][10][11] In 2001, 18 years after its original release on LP album and cassette, Amore was made available on compact disc and included two cover versions as bonus tracks: the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" from June 15, 1986, at A Conspiracy of Hope, a benefit concert on behalf of Amnesty International at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the Skatalites' "Man in the Street," a live demo from the first Hooters recording session in 1980, which was also the band's first song to be played on the radio.

Trouser Press wrote: "The Hooters’ easy facility in many stylistic genres (reggae, the main impulse on Amore, remains in the repertoire, along with glossed-up heartland rock versed in folk traditionalism) matches an inability to pin down any clear-cut personality.

"[12] All tracks are written by Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian, except where noted.
