“Heart of Soul” by The Cult
From the album Ceremony (1991)
“Heart of Soul” by The Cult appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 1991 on the album Ceremony. Its best result is #1216 on the Fred XM Top 2002 Songs of All-Time (July 2002). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,725 alternative song of all time.
"Heart of Soul" was one of the two singles pulled from Ceremony, the Cult's fifth album, which landed in September 1991 with the weight of Electric and Sonic Temple on its shoulders. Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy wrote it together, though by then their working relationship had hit rock bottom, and the pair reportedly preferred to cut their parts separately, at different times, rather than share the studio.
Longtime bassist Jamie Stewart was gone before the sessions began, so Charley Drayton plays bass alongside Mickey Curry, Benmont Tench adds organ, and Richie Zito produced. Astbury sings, Duffy plays guitar, and the record around them draws heavily on Native American culture.
