Yeah, if you want to hear both sisters sing, you have to do “Dog and Butterfly”, it’s a ballad, the softer side of Heart, but oh my, it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard!
The lead guitarist is Roger Fisher, whose brother Mike is the "Magic Man" that Ann is singing about. Dreamboat Annie is one of the best debut albums ever. My next pick for a reaction is also from that album: "How Deep It Goes."
@@Chrisrob90406 Agreed. I think the later Heart was just as good, but different. For sure, the guitar riffs in the early stuff were amazing and hit like a hammer, where in the later music, the sound was more mellow, but Ann's voice got so much fuller. All of it was great.
Benatar, Wilson, Joplin, Ronstadt and special mention for Karen Carpenter who still has the purest most soothing angelic voices of all time, albeit soft rock.
This is one of Heart's best, early tracks; the sophisticated arrangement, the million-and-one instruments, and everyone on top of their game. Thanks so much for this reaction video, Rob Squad!!
@@rogerhuggettjr.7675 There are so many unique female singers in my top 10, but I don't attribute them to the "rock" category necessarily. Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, Natalie Merchant, Jewel, Marie Fredriksson of Roxette, Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries just to name a few...
@@kimbrash2025 I love Stevie Nicks and the Cranberries, but hadn't thought of them as rockers, but more pop singers. I thought of Joan Jett, but she was a distant 3rd for me.
Great reaction guys! Yup! Heart in my humble opinion is TOP for female rock. I'm surprised you haven't done "Crazy On you" yet. I think Jay is going to LOVE that opening riff.
OH ya - Crazy on You is freakin' amazing. And Amber will love the lyrics. Both of you will love the lyrics and the music. In my humble opinion, its better than Magic Man.
I saw an interview one time where Ann said she didn't think her voice was strong enough to sing lead. Oh Lord was she wrong! #1 female rock voice of all time! And the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous doesn't hurt either.#heart fan for life!
This song is the perfect example of "The Heart Sound". Amazing vocals, "teasing" guitar solo rifts, "music drops" at random, shift in focus of lyrics to notes, out of the world "angelic" harmonies, and an underlying 'drum line' to hold it all together. PS: When Ann and Nancy harmonize in the later half of the song? That is what the mythical "Sirens" must have sounded like to lure sailors to their doom.
Heart easily deserve the honours to sit up there with the big boys that are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones etc... as you mentioned in their tribute to Led Zeppelin, they are still rocking it out with amazing vocals, guitar sounds and the band is amazing. One of the legendary rock icon bands.
@@TANTRUMGASM The top tier includes a band that had 20 number 1 songs in 7 years and has outsold every musician who has ever lived . I think you know who that is. Only Elvis and Michael are on that tier with them.
Can you imagine, being 15-16 years old and this is the first HEART song you hear so you rush out to buy their debut album as soon as it it's the store shelves.!!!?!!! The wonderous days of the 70's were truly magical when it comes to rock music. Love your channel, love your reactions, keep rockin'.
I was a Zeppelin fan back in the days and both Rush and Heart were clearly inspired by Led Zep. Three of my favorite bands from back then. Heart does AMAZING covers of Zeppelin, from way back...
After they covered Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors Jimmy Page and Robert Plant said they could cover any Zeppelin song they want whenever they want.
Herat also was influenced by Jethro Tull, not only in their use of flute. In “Magic Man’ in particular, the guitar solos are clearly heavily influenced by Tull lead guitarist Martin Barre. Listen to Tull’s “Bursting Out” live double album and you’ll hear what I mean.
This song makes me think of when I first met my husband at 15 and I used to sneak out to see him. We have been married for 40 yrs now. My favorite Heart Song. She says he has magic hands- sexual attraction to this man.
A song that stands the test of time. It even sounds better today! And the interlude is one of the most iconic pieces of pop culture of the late 20th century.
This is from their first album. At that time their lead guitarist was Roger Fisher, with Howard Leese also handling electric guitar and keys. Nancy mostly did acoustic guitar (which shows up here in places low in the mix) and background vocals. Nancy's guitar role grew much larger with Roger left the band after their fourth(?) album.
This was my husband and my song . He was 33 I was 20 and he had amazing blue eyes. He passed away in 2003. I love this song. Thank you for the memory flashback.We were married for 18 years when he passed away.Ha Ha Ha ha about the girls leaving and growing up. A son is a son till he takes a wife a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life. ( funny how it freaked you out Jay. ) Queens , then Stevie Nicks. Happy Birthday Jay.
This is without a doubt one of the most iconic rock songs of the entire 1970s. I was 9 years old this came out and I still have my original copy on vinyl. Ann and Nancy Wilson are two of the most iconic musicians ever
I remember flying home from Winnipeg in the Summer 1976 (I was 12), I was visiting my Dad. Air Canada had a feature on Heart and this album, on one of the radio station that played on the plane. Now that I think of it, it was probably a recorded program (things were so different back then). I remember the Montreal Olympic Games hype, and the first time I heard this haunting song, was on the plane home. The world was younger than today, but the music was better.
Never cared for Heart back in the day. But ever since I have been watching all the various reactions over the past year. I absolutely love Heart! I'm 62, Was a hard rocker back then. The Barracuda video, I can't get enough of. By the way, Happy Birthday Jay! We love you two!!!!
I think Ann is in her late 60's/ early 70's now and she still sounds the same!! And she still has the same "aura". She does a lot of shows in the SF Bay area still. She still leaves me dumbfounded and blushing. Beautiful woman in every sense of the word.
This is early Heart. IMO, Ann Wilson is the Diva of female rock singers. The Wilson sisters were HUGE fans of Zeppelin, & even played in concert with JPJ from Zep on a live album thats really good👍 Nancy Wilson also has a good voice & sang lead on some songs too. This band line up was their best. Saw them live on 2nd album tour. Opened for Nugent & The Cars. Freaking AWESOME.
Heart is the benchmark by which all female-led rock groups should be judged, as well as a solid benchmark by which *any* rock group should be judged. Artistry, talent, skill, and stage presence are all on the top tier.
Thats Roger Fisher shredding that guitar. One of the greatest and one of the least appreciated guitarist of the seventies. If we're gonna be completely honest, he taught Nancy how to shred on the guitar before he was no longer in the band. Roger was a co-founder of the band before the Wilson sisters were even in the picture. Ann came first. When Nancy was later brought into the band, she was basically just a young folk singer who played acoustic guitar. She learned a lot from Roger in those years he was still in the band. He created a lot of the cool guitar riffs of Heart's early songs. The classic "Barracuda" riff was his. He was the main lead guitar in the band. Howard Lease who was also a top player in the band often doubled on lead guitar with Roger.
THANK YOU! for pointing all that out about Roger! Without Roger, Heart would not have been the band it was in their eariy years! One song that really spotlights Roger's skillful lead guitar playing is "Sing Child" from this same album. You can really hear the influence Jimi Hendrix had on him in that one tune as well as Zeppelin.
This was their first hit from 1977... Put them seriously on the map... I said the same thing about Ann Wilson after hearing this song... Best female voice in rock, period...
This song takes me back, I was in the parking lot at a roller rink, listening to the radio and when this song came up, I turned up the volume. I can still remember it, like it was yesterday. Miss those days
Heck I have NEICES I've welcomed back a number of times,, LOL Just here when they need a place to land. My daughters, thank goodness, have been strong enough and stable enough, they haven't needed to.
@@garyarnett1220 love this so much. I've had a niece live with us too. The world is beautiful and trying. I want all the kids to be able to explore it with a bit of security. Also it's not bad for them if they have to scratch and scramble a bit, on a case by case basis of course.
I was blown away watching some of their live performances. Crazy strong voice, with an incredible presence on stage. Plus, I love watching Nancy playing.
Happy Birthday, Jay!!! This song is not so much a girl leaving home for a boy, but is more about a young girl being infatuated with an older man who is gently coaxing her into a seduction. - "Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child" It's my favorite Heart song!
Heart always brings it! The epitome of female rockers. Sensual yet hard. Great song and great delivery. Thanks for bringing it and thanks for the (as always) great reaction.😁
HEY, Happy Birthday Jay! This song > Heart are the masters of funk. So masterful, you wouldn't think it's funk. But if you listen very carefully, you'll hear it. Then you'll see how magically they hid it. Unifying the word content of the song, MAGIC, with the structure of the song. Masters.
What a fantastic choice,great reaction. Hearts cover of the LED Zeppelin song The Battle of Evermore live,shows both sisters musical and vocal talents.Just can't think of another song being this good,Hell LED Zeppelin and Heart...can't miss. Have a great day,and thank you
Happy birthday, Jay! Yes! Heart! More Heart! Definitely check out Never, These Dreams, Barracuda and Crazy on You. Ann and Nancy are so very good and in These Dreams you'll get to hear Nancy take lead vocals.
Finally!! I've been after you guys for months to listen to this song. But I'm glad you waited till your birthday, Jay. Happy Birthday! For me this is a song I never get tired of hearing, like The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, Black Sabbath's War Pigs, and Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4. For your next Heart song, I recommend Even It Up or Heartless.
I'm a professional musician and it's my opinion that Anne is the best female rock vocalist ever. There are others that are equally good but when it comes to rock and her exquisite control she really has no equal.
The awesome ballad on this same debut album was "(If You Love Me Like Music) I'll Be Your Song". Just stunning how talented they were, and how they can make me feel the feels.
I love almost everything Heart has done but Dreamboat Annie is very near the top for me... you NEED to hear it... Ann has a voice that is top 5 ALL TIME best voices! Not many can match her tone and range with that kind of clear power and I , in my 68 years have heard them all. :)
I was in 16 when this album was released in the US, it was released a year earlier in Canada, on Friday's our art teacher allowed us to bring an album in while we did our art projects...as soon as Carrie put this on the turntable, I was hooked, been a fan ever since, Rock ON!!
In this line-up of Heart, they actually had three people who played guitar. One of them also played keyboards. Roger Fisher was the lead electric guitar.
first time I heard this as a child/preteen...I was so amazed by them...that women could rock. Been a fan ever since. Written for their drummer at the time Roger Fisher who was dating Ann.
Nope. Ann was with Mike Fisher who became their manager. Nancy was with his brother guitarist Roger Fisher. Mike Derosiers was the drummer who Nancy had an affair with which destroyed Roger Fisher.
Happy birthday! The greatness of this era of music was that it took you on a journey from beginning to end. If you were not familiar with the music and just came in the in the background or in the middle of the song you wouldn’t understand the greatness of the song. But when you hear from beginning to end especially with headphones on, every note works together to take you on a trip.
Cool to see you all doing more Heart. This is of course one of their great classic songs. Up there with Barracuda. I agree you should do These Dreams for your next Heart song. Get to hear some of Nancy's voice.
Heart put in themselves out there everytime! And to do it so early in the 70’s! They were the best female rock sound since Janice! They were always on the radio growing up in the 60’s and 70’s! Ann still sounds amazing! And Nancy’s guitar is soooo underrated!
Heart is one of my favorite female bands . I saw them live in the 80's, they were the back up band for ELO. Their encore song was Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin cover) and they killed it.
This is one of the first songs I fell in love with. I was just a little guy with a huge pair of cans on my head. Lounging back in a papasan chair holding my plastic fake electric guitar. I fell in love with Anne's voice. It was pretty much perfect.
One of THE most solid bass and drum lines ever laid down. I never appreciated Heart nearly enough when I was young, though I am a longtime fan. It's never too late I suppose, but I missed out on a lot of enjoyment.
J, you LOVE guitar, And you love to hear other artists from around the world. Well I'm glad you asked!! This young man is from Poland, Marcin Patrzalek and he is an acoustic guitar player, NO scratch that a Virtuoso!! He plays Rock, He plays Classical. You can watch is performance on AGT, or search him and choose Kashmir on one guitar! You will NOT be disappointed!!
If I heard correctly, you said today was your birthday. April 22, 1957, is my birth day! Happy Birthday! And yeah, Heart rocks! Have every album in cd format they've ever recorded.
I was blessed to see Heart with Eddy Money in the 80's and then about five years ago I saw them at our state fair, They are just as amazing today as they were in the 80's.❤❤
This was the very first Heart song I ever heard on the radio and it started me down the path of loving the Wilson's forever. I even had a crush on Ann back then. For my money she has the best voice ever.
Lyric background. Ann was in her late teens and her boyfriend was a Vietnam War draft dodger who ran from Seattle to just across the border to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her mom wanted her to come home but Ann's boyfriend was a magic man with magic hands.
I was the first one in my city to own a Heart Album. I was at the record shop when they unpacked it and put it on the turntable. After the first three notes I said, I’m buying it now.
I remember the first time I heard Heart. It Was 1975 and I was going to a concert of my favorite band at the time. When I got there the opening band just started playing and they Blew me away they were so good. It was Heart as the opening act with April Wine as the main act. 3 years later when they came back to Edmonton Heart was the main act with April Wine opening for them! I've been a fan of theirs ever since then.
Great exhibition of talent from every member of HEART on this song. From the melody to the soloing, it's probably their bestest overall effort. SING CHILD SING is similar in that everybody takes solos (especially the drummer) but it's a completely silly-ass tune and weird on purpose.
Nancy iis playing the acoustic guitar throughout this tune you can hear the big strums that kind of Shimmer on their way into the chorus. At this point they had to leave gataris in the band as well, so that is where the heavier stuff is coming from in the solos. I believe one of the guitarist doubled on keyboards as needed. You guys had a really great reaction to the band Jethro Tull quite a while ago, you might be interested to know that tall was a huge influence on early heart. There are many interesting kind of Celtic in acoustic fairytale feeling songs on this particular record as well. Kind of the deep Cuts as it were. Good stuff.
Happy Birthday J!!! Listen man, someday your girls are going to meet a "magic man" they can't resist. Just make sure they know what true unconditional love from a man, their dad, truly means before they do, and they will know they can always come on home to you. ❤️
I'd hear these awesome ladies almost every day on the radio, and took them for granted back in the day (I'm 61). There was so much good music back then that it was sometimes hard to choose faves. 45+ years later I sure appreciate what amazing talent the Wilson sisters had and still have. Number one female rockers IMO. More Heart reactions please 🧡
Yeah, if you want to hear both sisters sing, you have to do “Dog and Butterfly”, it’s a ballad, the softer side of Heart, but oh my, it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard!
The whole album is amazing!!
"Dog and Butterfly" is a favorite of mine, too. "Dreamboat Annie" is as well.
the live acoustic version is even better
I think they both sang doing Battle of evermore
Yes please please dog and butterfly, keep asking these reactors but no one does this banger from the sisters
The lead guitarist is Roger Fisher, whose brother Mike is the "Magic Man" that Ann is singing about. Dreamboat Annie is one of the best debut albums ever. My next pick for a reaction is also from that album: "How Deep It Goes."
I love that song! Great choice.
Incomparable lol yeah ok 🤦♂️
Nancy usually plays acoustic guitar but Heart had excellent guitar players, for sure!
Roger Fisher a beast on guitar 🎸
Bingo. I was trying to remember Roger's name. lol tanks.
The talented Wilson sisters get most of the credit, but the men in the original lineup were also factors in the band's success. Super talented group.
Early Heart has a very different sound that was lost in later works. Much because of the loss of those men from the writing process.
@@Chrisrob90406 Agreed. I think the later Heart was just as good, but different. For sure, the guitar riffs in the early stuff were amazing and hit like a hammer, where in the later music, the sound was more mellow, but Ann's voice got so much fuller. All of it was great.
umm yeah the men were a MAJOR factor in the song.
@Magic Mike this is a top tier comment 👏
Leese, Fisher, Derosier, best days!
Best. Female. Rock. Vocalist. Ever.
The best ever.........male or female.
There's no way I can disagree...she's STELLAR.
Benatar, Wilson, Joplin, Ronstadt and special mention for Karen Carpenter who still has the purest most soothing angelic voices of all time, albeit soft rock.
Joplin had a terrible voice she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket
Add in Lzzy Hale and you'll have a good list
I’ll trade you Joan Jett for Karen Carpenter.
@@vanhouten7377 She didn't have to. She was a FORCE...
You're all forgetting Chrissie Hynde. More Rock than the other pop singers.
This is one of Heart's best, early tracks; the sophisticated arrangement, the million-and-one instruments, and everyone on top of their game. Thanks so much for this reaction video, Rob Squad!!
This was my introduction to Heart. I just couldn't get enough of this mysterious, dark, and seductive song.
Ann Wilson absolutely is my favorite female rock singer. Pat Benatar is up there as well with her voice clear and high.

The first hard rock song I remember hearing as a kid was Fire And Ice from my school bus driver's boom box. Always loved her voice.
Straight on by heart has the most incredible harmonies ever. You'll love it
Great reaction guys! Yup! Heart in my humble opinion is TOP for female rock. I'm surprised you haven't done "Crazy On you" yet. I think Jay is going to LOVE that opening riff.
OH ya - Crazy on You is freakin' amazing. And Amber will love the lyrics. Both of you will love the lyrics and the music. In my humble opinion, its better than Magic Man.
My very favorite from them.
Not just the opening riff...
The whole thing is VERY cool.
And Jordan & Amber will both have some great lyrics to absorb.
They did Crazy On You 8 months ago.
I think Crazy On You was the first Heart song they reacted to.
I saw an interview one time where Ann said she didn't think her voice was strong enough to sing lead. Oh Lord was she wrong! #1 female rock voice of all time! And the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous doesn't hurt either.#heart fan for life!

Finally!! I've been after you guys for months to listen to this song. But I'm glad you waited till your birthday, Jay. Happy Birthday! For me this is a song I never get tired of hearing, like The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, Black Sabbath's War Pigs, and Chicago's 25
or 6 to 4. For your next Heart song, I recommend Even It Up or Heartless.
From the first time I heard them until now and always no one can beat Ann and Nancy in my opinion I just love their voices and the band is incredible,
I just heard a so called 80s Synthes in 1976 LOL
I'm a professional musician and it's my opinion that Anne is the best female rock vocalist ever. There are others that are equally good but when it comes to rock and her exquisite control she really has no equal.
The awesome ballad on this same debut album was "(If You Love Me Like Music) I'll Be Your Song". Just stunning how talented they were, and how they can make me feel the feels.
I LOVE that track!!! The entire album is a masterpiece!
One of my favorites!
...ain't it good to know you gotta place to go where the melodies fiiiine...
I love almost everything Heart has done but Dreamboat Annie is very near the top for me... you NEED to hear it... Ann has a voice that is top 5 ALL TIME best voices! Not many can match her tone and range with that kind of clear power and I , in my 68 years have heard them all. :)
Ann and Halford!
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Completely different genre.
Best female rock band, hands down, is HEART. Both sisters are genius!! Thank you for reacting to this !
I was in 16 when this album was released in the US, it was released a year earlier in Canada, on Friday's our art teacher allowed us to bring an album in while we did our art projects...as soon as Carrie put this on the turntable, I was hooked, been a fan ever since, Rock ON!!
"Dreamboat Annie" is a total classic! Lots of timeless cuts on that album
The Bass, the bass is so up front and center. Let’s everything and everyone else dance around it. Perfection!
In this line-up of Heart, they actually had three people who played guitar. One of them also played keyboards. Roger Fisher was the lead electric guitar.
I would say they are the Lead Zeppelin of female led rock groups, Heart is honestly a hall of fame rock band regardless
first time I heard this as a child/preteen...I was so amazed by them...that women could rock. Been a fan ever since. Written for their drummer at the time Roger Fisher who was dating Ann.
Nope. Ann was with Mike Fisher who became their manager. Nancy was with his brother guitarist Roger Fisher. Mike Derosiers was the drummer who Nancy had an affair with which destroyed Roger Fisher.
@@BobSoltis1 yep, you are right. I got it backwards
@@darcythmpsn1 Easy to do. Two sisters and two brothers - a recipe for confusion and disaster.
Happy birthday! I’ve been a fan of Heart since the beginning, Ann’s voice is still amazing and Nancy is still an amazing guitar player. ❤️
Jay,I think that's cute you actually believe what you just said about your girls! How do you think Amber's dad felt about YOU?
Heart is my #1 female rock group, for sure.
Her voice...the music..perfection.
Happy birthday! The greatness of this era of music was that it took you on a journey from beginning to end. If you were not familiar with the music and just came in the in the background or in the middle of the song you wouldn’t understand the greatness of the song. But when you hear from beginning to end especially with headphones on, every note works together to take you on a trip.
Cool to see you all doing more Heart. This is of course one of their great classic songs. Up there with Barracuda. I agree you should do These Dreams for your next Heart song. Get to hear some of Nancy's voice.
It's like Hotel California...you stop singing along for a moment and just sit...enjoy...then get to it again...
Another mesmerizing rock anthem from the Wilson Sisters.
I've seen Heart 2ce. They rock out like no one else. They are still rockin. That says it all.
You gotta do " These Dreams"...it gives Nancy on lead and her amazing vocals
Live from Seattle 2002, it’s brilliant.
And written by Bernie Taupin. I love this song.
They have so many great songs...Love Alive, Mistral Wind, Dog and Butterfly, Rockin Heaven Down, Little Queen, Heartless....soooo many
Thanks guys! For me Heart is not only the best female-based rock band by a mile. One of the greatest rock bands male or female.
Her voice is the epitome of rock ! ❤️ u guys!
this ENTIRE album is just incredible. 5 star. their first one, and it put them on the map very quickly.
I always loved their vocal towards the end they sound like two beautiful witches that you'd want to play inside the Munson Moon with. ❤
Ann is my number 1 female rock voice since the 70's. Seen them every decade since.
Heart put in themselves out there everytime! And to do it so early in the 70’s! They were the best female rock sound since Janice! They were always on the radio growing up in the 60’s and 70’s! Ann still sounds amazing! And Nancy’s guitar is soooo underrated!
Heart is one of my favorite female bands . I saw them live in the 80's, they were the back up band for ELO. Their encore song was Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin cover) and they killed it.
HAPPY B-DAY, JAY!! 😃.....if you like Ann Wilson's voice, her sister has amazing vocals on "These Dreams".
This is one of the first songs I fell in love with. I was just a little guy with a huge pair of cans on my head. Lounging back in a papasan chair holding my plastic fake electric guitar.
I fell in love with Anne's voice. It was pretty much perfect.
I love Heart! Love this song and a lot more! Crazy On You, Baracuda, Straight On, These Dreams, There'sThe Girl, What About Love and many more!
One of THE most solid bass and drum lines ever laid down. I never appreciated Heart nearly enough when I was young, though I am a longtime fan. It's never too late I suppose, but I missed out on a lot of enjoyment.
That shift at 5:48 when the chanting vocals come in is one of the greatest moments in rock history.
J, you LOVE guitar, And you love to hear other artists from around the world. Well I'm glad you asked!! This young man is from Poland, Marcin Patrzalek and he is an acoustic guitar player, NO scratch that a Virtuoso!! He plays Rock, He plays Classical. You can watch is performance on AGT, or search him and choose Kashmir on one guitar! You will NOT be disappointed!!
I dont know how many times I went to their concerts. I was a teen in the 70s.it seriously was the best time. We had huge outdoor dance parties.
If I heard correctly, you said today was your birthday. April 22, 1957, is my birth day! Happy Birthday! And yeah, Heart rocks! Have every album in cd format they've ever recorded.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 😃😃
THESE WOMAN STARTED THE LADIES
REALLY GIVEN THE MUSIC BACK, SHOWING THERE TALENT. THERE DAMM GOOD VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL.
🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I like your reviews. I find you are down-to-earth and real. Sometimes I can not believe that some of the songs you have never heard before.
I wore this 8-Track out in High School!
I was blessed to see Heart with Eddy Money in the 80's and then about five years ago I saw them at our state fair, They are just as amazing today as they were in the 80's.❤❤
Same as the 70s like MAJIC MAN I liked both better in the 70s
This was the very first Heart song I ever heard on the radio and it started me down the path of loving the Wilson's forever. I even had a crush on Ann back then. For my money she has the best voice ever.
This is a hauntingly mesmerizing song. So good.
Let's not forget Baracuda and Dog and the Butterfly. Excellent songs.
Lyric background. Ann was in her late teens and her boyfriend was a Vietnam War draft dodger who ran from Seattle to just across the border to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her mom wanted her to come home but Ann's boyfriend was a magic man with magic hands.
I was the first one in my city to own a Heart Album. I was at the record shop when they unpacked it and put it on the turntable. After the first three notes I said, I’m buying it now.
I remember the first time I heard Heart. It Was 1975 and I was going to a concert of my favorite band at the time. When I got there the opening band just started playing and they Blew me away they were so good. It was Heart as the opening act with April Wine as the main act. 3 years later when they came back to Edmonton Heart was the main act with April Wine opening for them! I've been a fan of theirs ever since then.
Great exhibition of talent from every member of HEART on this song. From the melody to the soloing, it's probably their bestest overall effort. SING CHILD SING is similar in that everybody takes solos (especially the drummer) but it's a completely silly-ass tune and weird on purpose.
Nancy iis playing the acoustic guitar throughout this tune you can hear the big strums that kind of Shimmer on their way into the chorus. At this point they had to leave gataris in the band as well, so that is where the heavier stuff is coming from in the solos. I believe one of the guitarist doubled on keyboards as needed. You guys had a really great reaction to the band Jethro Tull quite a while ago, you might be interested to know that tall was a huge influence on early heart. There are many interesting kind of Celtic in acoustic fairytale feeling songs on this particular record as well. Kind of the deep Cuts as it were. Good stuff.
Happy Birthday J!!! Listen man, someday your girls are going to meet a "magic man" they can't resist. Just make sure they know what true unconditional love from a man, their dad, truly means before they do, and they will know they can always come on home to you. ❤️
I'd hear these awesome ladies almost every day on the radio, and took them for granted back in the day (I'm 61). There was so much good music back then that it was sometimes hard to choose faves. 45+ years later I sure appreciate what amazing talent the Wilson sisters had and still have. Number one female rockers IMO. More Heart reactions please 🧡
