Dog & Butterfly is the fourth studio album by Heart, released in 1978. Heart rebounded from below average sales from Magazine, as Dog & 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 & 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 which Heart would be remembered: folksy ballads shifting into searing hard rock explosions.
