This mesmerizing 1991 release fills a musical void left by the sisters' 8-year absence from the recording studio! With their trademark glorious vocals, flawless harmony and haunting guitar work, this collection melds a variety of styles, from folk to pop to Cajun to Celtic. Includes Love Is (""Love is a minor chord/ Love is a mental ward/ ...Love is its own reward'') and Mother Mother."

Heartbeats Accelerating is a 1990 album by the late Kate and Anna McGarrigle. It was their first album in seven years, after Love Over and Over in 1983, and received favourable reviews from many music critics.

Bill Dillon, Pierre Marchand, Joel Zifkin and Kate's son Rufus Wainwright appear as guest musicians.

The title track was covered by Linda Ronstadt, on her 1993 album Winter Light. Issued as a single, Ronstadt's version of the song peaked at #112 in the United States, and at #17 in Canada.
