While many have written off Courtney Love's first solo record America's Sweetheart as a self-indulgent, awful mess (Love herself even calls it 'Le'Disastre'), in my opinion, this album gets far more shit than it deserves. Yes, it was slightly self-indulgent and completely drug-fueled, but isn't that what we have come to love about Ms. Love? History (and Love's subsequent legal troubles) have clouded most people's judgement about the LP and well, the truth of the matter is the album got really great reviews upon it's initial release in 2004. Unfortunately, around this time CL had become way too polarizing a character for radio to even give it a shot - and it's a shame because unheard tracks like "Hold On To Me" and "Sunset Strip" could have been massively huge across the board.

In four years, it's doubtful Virgin will be putting out a special bonus track-laden deluxe edition of America's Sweetheart to mark the ten-year anniversary of it's release, so instead i've decided to gather up this collection of what might have been on it. B-sides, outtakes & rare live tracks culled from the time period CL has now dubbed "The Letterman Years" - songs that were literally "Left In the Dark".

    I've always said that, if America's Sweetheart would've been written by any 18 years old girl, they'd say that she was going to save rock'n'roll. But it was witten by Courtney Love...
    I do love this record. It is truly her - what she was then. It sounds so sincere it hurts... There are many songs on this compilation i didn't have, thanks so much!

    She is one of the less talented singers ever, the only reason she is known is because she was Cobain's wife.

    I do not understand why The American girls are the sexiest in the world, they are really sweet and sexy at the same time, that's the reason why my girlfriend is from Los Angeles

    If anyone is still looking for this, I found a live download of it. Had to dig the depths of a practically defunct Hole forum, but I found it!
