A Thousands Hearts is the fifth solo album by Irish folksinger Cara Dillon. A Thousand Hearts features more traditional production and arrangements than her first three albums. The album contains traditional songs (including two sung in Irish Gaelic) as well as two modern covers, "Shotgun Down the Avalanche" by Shawn Colvin and "River Run". The album was produced by Sam Lakeman, Dillon's musical partner and husband.
"Shotgun Down the Avalanche" and "Bright Morning Star" were recorded for the Transatlantic Sessions 6 in 2013. In August 2014, "Bright Morning Star" became the first folk track to be included on a NOW That's What I Call Chill compilation; it appeared with songs by Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Ellie Goulding.
All tracks traditional\arranged by Cara Dillon & Sam Lakeman except 5 (Shawn Colvin\John Leventhal) and 6 (Beth Sorrentino)
