"Bebe le Strange," released on February 14, 1980, marked a significant moment in Heart's career as their first album without founding guitarist Roger Fisher. Despite this lineup change, the band maintained its momentum, achieving commercial success with the album reaching number five on the U.S. Billboard 200. The album is notable for its energetic rock sound and includes the hit singles "Even It Up," featuring the Tower of Power horn section, and the title track "Bebe le Strange."

The album's production involved contributions from Don Wilhelm, who provided backing vocals and had historical ties with band members Steve Fossen and Roger Fisher through their earlier band, The Army. The 2004 re-release of the album included additional tracks, offering fans a live rendition of "Break" and the previously unreleased "Jackleg Man."

"Bebe le Strange" is a testament to Heart's resilience and ability to adapt, continuing to captivate audiences with their powerful rock sound during the vibrant musical landscape of the early 1980s.
