Aim for the Heart


Aim for the Heart is the second and final album from the American country music trio The Remingtons. Released in April 1993 on BNA Entertainment, the album produced two singles on the Billboard country singles charts: "Nobody Loves You When You're Free" at No. 52 and "Wall Around Her Heart" at No. 69. "Everything I Own" is a cover of a song originally recorded by Bread on their 1972 album Baby, I'm a Want You, and "Ride 'Em Cowboy" was a single for Paul Davis in 1974.
For this album, Denny Henson had replaced Rick Yancey as the band's third vocalist, although Yancey still played acoustic guitar on "Everything I Own" and co-wrote several songs on the album.

Critical reception

Roch Parisien of Allmusic wrote that "I honestly can't say that anything here improves on last year's debut...But if the idea of Bread with pedal steel meets the quieter side of The Desert Rose Band appeals to you..." Entertainment Weekly critic Alanna Nash rated the album "F", writing that "Imagine if three of the blandest pretenders to the country-music throne formed a band to record covers of past hits and write instantly forgettable country-pop radio fare."
