In her 70s, Ann still kills it when she sings. Nancy is just as lethal as ever on guitar even today. Heart not only opened up Females holding their own in an industry dominated by men, but they also put Seattle on the Rock N Roll map years before Nirvana, Soundgarden, Queensryche or Pearl Jam came along! We proudly hold on to our bragging rights in the northwest USA for unleashing Heart on the world!
Hendrix, Heart, Nirvana, Alice, Soundgarden, Audioslave all put together make Seattle the best rock music city there is. It is to hard rock as Detroit is to R&B.
Please upvote! Heart still has many great songs..."Kick it Out," "Even it Up," "Who Will You Run To," "Nothing at All," "If Looks Could Kill," "How Can I Refuse" and "Love Alive."
If you truly want to be blown away by this band's talent in one song, is their live performance track of the song Mistral Wind from their Greatest Hits/ Live album. It is a true masterpiece of a theatrical and epic song. Plus on this live performance, Ann's voice will give you chills.
Heartless was written around the same time as Barracuda. My theory is that those songs ended up on different albums because of the lawsuit they were engaged in with their first record company. Barracuda ended up on the Little Queen LP with the new record company, and Heartless was released on Magazine with their original record company. If Heart had been allowed to finish the entirety of the Magazine album, I bet Barracuda would have been on it.
They're early music is what put them for what God of the airplane little Queen little Queen dreamboat Annie dog and a butterfly now nowThey're early music is what put them for what God of the airplane little Queen little Queen dreamboat Annie dog and a butterfly now now
One of my favorites, and the album is so underrated due to the circumstances under which it was made and released. But all the 5 songs that weren't filler are some of the best of their entire career.
EVEN IT UP will give generate hives along your spine. It has horns. It has sass and righteous indignation. It has Ann and Nancy at full tilt. And cranks up the volume to rattle your bones !! In that same vein, how about a couple of great songs from Jefferson Starship. From their album Freedom at Point Zero there are JANE and FIND YOUR WAY BACK. And from Modern Times the powerful STRANGER. The teaming of Grace Slick and Mickey Thompson is thrilling and and oh so right. Enjoy
This makes TEN Heart songs you've done. You're well into their rabbit hole, but there are a bunch more to go. "Dreamboat Annie", "Little Queen", "Kick It Out", "Without You", "Dog & Butterfly", "What About Love"... yeah, you'll be on this road for a while. And speaking of ZZ Top, please do "Sleeping Bag".
I agree with everyone who said DOG AND BUTTERFLY!! This is an acoustic ballad, not a hard rockin' Heart song, but it has gorgeously powerful vocals!! I love Barracuda too, but Dog and Butterfly is a completely different side of Heart that makes you just close your eyes and get lost in what you are hearing. Please please please react to this song!
I'll keep suggesting "White Lightning and Wine", a Heart gem where rock meets funk meets cow bell. This will rate a quadruple wow and "why didn't we hit this earlier?".
This album has some of my all-time favorite Heart songs, including their version of "Without You" by Badfinger/Nilsson. But this album also has the songs "Just The Wine", "Here Song", and the title track "Magazine", which are all phenomenal.
Next Heart song should be "If Looks Could Kill"--hard-driving fire all the way through. This song was supposedly written after the guy Ann was dating cheated on her. You can feel her anger as she spits out the lyrics,
Ann Wilson was a performer and, in general, a woman a lot of us women looked up to and still do. Being a woman and a male dominated industry has been incredibly tough on women in the music industry. Why would anyone in their right mind try to control an amazingly talented artist and risk losing all the $ that artist is making for the label just because you want to control them because they are women? A song that really shows Ann's bluesy side is Heart's cover of Say It Like It Is. Power vocals and a lot of style.
When this band came out, Everyone was blown away. I was fortunate enough to see them open the Main Theatre of the new National Arts Center in Ottawa. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended.
Heart is my favorite! The Beatles inspired me to play guitar and sing but Heart REALLY inspired me to be in a band. I was able to be in a little band in high school and then in an all-girl band called Rosewood and we played classic rock and classic country. Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Linda Ronstadt were big influences. Saw Heart many times, the last time was about six years ago in El Paso and Ann Wilson was even more powerful and colorful in her singing. She could hit every note as good or better than before which is competely amazing. Nancy was my hero because she played guitar and I always wanted to learn mandoline.
Heart can rock as hard as any band. You really should try early 90s Heart. Black on Black II is maybe the heaviest thing they've ever recorded. They made great music through several different decades.
One of my favorite songs from Heart. Great memories of me and my best friend dancing and singing to this song. My friend looked like Ann Wilson at one time....
"Mistral Wind" from Dog and Butterfly is according to Nancy the best studio performance Heart has ever had. It's one of their best known album cuts. You guys should check it out.
Okay, I love this band especially their '70s work and for whatever reason I have for loving so many of their songs I think MUSTRAL WIND is my personal favorite. So get on it, Amber and Jay!
I’ve been lucky enough to see Heart twice back in the 80’s one of my favorite songs is Dog and Butterfly.. it’s a bit slower, but Ann’s voice is phenomenal.
Glad you enjoyed this one. It's obviously from early in their career when most of their hits were a bit heavier. Of course they did shake it up, (not a pun, honest, Folks), sometimes going in a softer, more ballad direction. You'd probably enjoy "Dog and Butterfly" for going that way.
This is from the album "Magazine". It was supposed to be Heart's second release, but the record company (Mushroom) and band got into a nasty lawsuit about it after Mushroom had an ad campaign for "Dreamboat Annie" which strongly hinted the sisters were lovers. Mushroom released a partly completed "Heartless" album, while Heart's new record company (Portrait) released "Little Queen". A court finally decided Mushroom had to recall the album so Heart could remix it and add new vocals. The Mushroom version is a collector's item for Heart fans.
Movie recommendation: ALMOST FAMOUS. It was written by Nancy Wilson's (then) husband who was a writer for Rolling Stone Magazine, and Nancy did the music coaching for the actors so they could look authentic for the '70s band that was the center piece of the film. You two have embraced the period music from that era... you are ready to watch ALMOST FAMOUS.
Kick It Out is a balls to the walls rocker by Heart and should definitely be on your list. I think you would also like Pain Lies On the Riverside by a band called Live. Great bass and growly vocals on that one.
Always appreciated the vocals. J got me listening to individual instruments. Love how the bass goes around in a circle. And the drums get me when they hit so fast it sounds like falling downstairs. Thumpa thumpa thum thum thum thum. Y'all making me bring new ears to an old favorite. Thanks! ❤️🎵
❤😎❤ Such a great song! Your reactions are so much fun. It's interesting... I have the original album and the original vinyl 45 single and both state the writers of this song are Ann Wilson, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen and Nancy Wilson. But when I look online, it shows the writers as only Ann & Nancy Wilson. Interesting. Oh, and the bass player on this song is Steve Fossen. He co-founded Heart in 1967 with guitarist Roger Fisher. He left Heart in 1982.
A nice smooth easy listening tune with the girls dog and butterfly it's one of those you have to be in that frame of mind but then you will thoroughly enjoy it both of their voices shine check them out
nancy wilson is a very technical guitar player i always called the female jimmy Hendricx. she's right up there. STILL an excellent guitar player. this song is a timeless masterpiece. 50 years from now people will still be listening to this
Listening to this in this setting is great and it rocks but listening to it a live a few years ago….it rocks much harder. They are/were much harder live than studio recordings. It’s a whole other vibe.
Even it up is another great uptempo one from this time frame. Definitely need to listen to Sylvan Song/Dream of the Archer. Studio version. Anns singing will blow you away
Make sure you check out the Live at KWSU TV Studio (The Second Ending 1976) show. This song is in the setlist & Ann sounds awesome & she plays a mean flute too.
You can only wonder just how great the band would have become if the girls hadn't fired the guys who created the band to begin with! They were at their Prime and ready to really really become legends. Instead they went into a spiral and lost a large segment of there fans.they were sill very popular with girls but their but their music surfed and was never the same. They did slide into the hall of fame but if they had stayed together, they could have done what a select few had accomplished by getting into the hall as a part of the band, and as a Single artist. Oh well I guess the girls didn't care to be legends!
@@kenperkins7921 The entire band fired Roger Fisher through voting after his meltdown and not contributing anything in the studio anymore. When the three guys joined another band that reached some success in 1990 (ALIAS, led by another singer-guitarist duo), it was the exact same kind of music Heart was doing in the 80s. The 80s didn't spare any 70s bands. All of them had to adapt to 80s pop and MTV, from the Stones to Genesis. Their trajectory would not have been any different.
speaking of sisters who rock - check out Fanny - the first all female band who wrote, sang and played their own instruments signed to a major record label - sisters Jean (bass) and June (lead guitar) with Nicky Barclay (incredible keyboards) and Alice De Bur (powerful drums) - easy to find on Google - still making music 50 years later
Thanks for doing Heartless, a great song! And like the person below said, you buys will love Kick it Out.. a real down and dirty rocker from the Little Queen album, like Barracuda. Ann is dripping with attitude in that one too.
Jay & Amber-- There's quite a story behind this song & the album it's from--"Magazine". This was intended to be Heart's 2nd album, but the band, especially the sisters, had various ongoing issues, arguments, disputes & debates (many of them legal conflicts &/or contractual problems) with their original label, Mushroom records. I'm not all that clear on the details, but there was a preliminary version of the album set to be released as early as 1977. In fact, there was a large number of copies released (as far as I can determine, on vinyl LP only), but, at the time, the band & their label were in court, arguing about (among other things) the status of the album & its line-up of songs. It was ultimately decided that all copies of the initial release were to be recalled & destroyed. The band claimed that the album as released wasn't "finished" yet & that other musicians had been involved in performing/recording some of the tracks. Some copies of the initial release did escape into the music world, however. Those that have seen or have copies have noticed & are usually quick to point out the disclaimer on the back of the cover. Eventually, the legal battle was resolved, but Heart was anxious to switch labels & went instead to Epic records. They released "Little Queen" (which included "Barracuda") & also completed work on "Magazine", with new &/or different mixes/performances/recordings for the "official" released version, which includes the version you're reacting to here. I actually got to meet Ann Wilson & Howard Leese (one of the other members of the group) once &, when I asked Ann what happened with the "Magazine" album, she said the label owed them money, which I don't doubt, but I suspect she didn't want to &/or didn't have time to go into all the details, which I can respect. Being a rock star has to be a busy life.. In any case, regarding "Heartless", it seems that the only change was using a new vocal track. Personally, though, I actually prefer the original vocals. Here's the original mix... you can decide for yourselves-- ruclips.net/video/RrM2VPKfj7c/видео.html
"Devil Delight" is the other "unknown, except by hard-core fans" banger, on this. 🤘🤘⚡ -Excellent break-down of the debacle of "Magazine" story. -...can you imagine if: the prime cuts from Magazine had been able to be combined with the rest of: Little Queen **mind blown!** ....an even BETTER work of greatness (which-no question!!: Little Queen already is!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥)
Yeah, more Heart! They have many great tunes, for another heavy banger, try Back On Black II. It is a killer of a song from the Wilson Sisters, who rock with the best of them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Nancy Wilson was in the movie "Fast times at Ridgemont high"... she was the girl in the Corvette checking out Brad when he was wearing the fish restaurant uniform.
Heart is the perfect name for this band... I remember hearing for the first time the real meaning behind their song Barracuda... They are survivors in a male-dominated industry... Saw them in Enoshima at the Japan Jam with Firefall, TKO and headliners the Beach Boys...
Barracuda and Heartless are awesome. My favorite is These Dreams, but I definitely get having Barracuda at the top of the list. It was definitely a privilege growing up with these songs and bands like Heart.
Great stuff. The next time you want another one of their rock ballads like "Alone" which you did on the channel previously give "What About Love" a look. Ann gets to hold her notes longer so you get to hear the quality of her voice so much better and when she and Nancy are duetting on the chorus it's brilliant.
Hey guys, check out Heart at The Kennedy Center Honors program when they sang Stairway To Heaven honoring Led Zeppelin with Led Zeppelin in the audience. It will blow your minds. Happy Holidays guys from 2RG. 🖤✌🏻🎶🤘🏻
You should hear Mistral Wind. Amazing power ballad by Heart; it'll blow you away. And you need to hear Dog and Butterfly, which is a gorgeous song with acoustic guitar and both sisters singing beautifully, lots of falsetto. Dog and Butterfly is unlike any Heart song you've heard. And if you haven't heard Crazy On You, that's a must, too.
Jay & Amber, you will LOVE their "Kick It Out" and "Dog And Butterfly"!!!
Great suggestions! I’ll also throw in an underrated one, “City’s Burning”.
@@davidolson2729 thank you!
And "Sing Child" Theres a great live performance of that one on RUclips. Roger Fisher shines on guitar and Ann plays a mean flute part.
Also "Straight On"
Even It Up can be added to that as well. But love your suggestions!
Añn Wilson is the best female Rock singer ever.
The whole "Dog & Butterfly" album by Heart kicks ass beyond belief.
In her 70s, Ann still kills it when she sings. Nancy is just as lethal as ever on guitar even today. Heart not only opened up Females holding their own in an industry dominated by men, but they also put Seattle on the Rock N Roll map years before Nirvana, Soundgarden, Queensryche or Pearl Jam came along! We proudly hold on to our bragging rights in the northwest USA for unleashing Heart on the world!
Hell, yeah! 🤘
😁Vancouver has entered the chat
Hendrix, Heart, Nirvana, Alice, Soundgarden, Audioslave all put together make Seattle the best rock music city there is. It is to hard rock as Detroit is to R&B.
😌💯🙌🏼🎉
YES❤❤❤❤
Ann Wilson RULES!!! She has the Pipes of a Fighter-Jet!!!! POWER BABY!!!!!
Please upvote! Heart still has many great songs..."Kick it Out," "Even it Up," "Who Will You Run To," "Nothing at All," "If Looks Could Kill," "How Can I Refuse" and "Love Alive."
Vastly underrated and underplayed song by Heart. This is definitely in my top 5 songs by them. Need to do “Love Alive” . Another great tune
Yes another great one from them!!!
check out "live 1978"version of live alive with ann;s amazing flute solo at the start
I agree. Those are two of my favorites by Heart.
If you truly want to be blown away by this band's talent in one song, is their live performance track of the song Mistral Wind from their Greatest Hits/ Live album. It is a true masterpiece of a theatrical and epic song. Plus on this live performance, Ann's voice will give you chills.
Kaleo....yes Mistral Wind!
Definitely mistral wind absolutely a must
Yes to this one
That's the best one ever! Yes to Mistral Wind!
Imo, Mistral Wind is their best song.
Heartless was written around the same time as Barracuda. My theory is that those songs ended up on different albums because of the lawsuit they were engaged in with their first record company. Barracuda ended up on the Little Queen LP with the new record company, and Heartless was released on Magazine with their original record company. If Heart had been allowed to finish the entirety of the Magazine album, I bet Barracuda would have been on it.
The band firing on all cylinders here, and Ann’s voice is pure gold as usual.
They're early music is what put them for what God of the airplane little Queen little Queen dreamboat Annie dog and a butterfly now nowThey're early music is what put them for what God of the airplane little Queen little Queen dreamboat Annie dog and a butterfly now now
Both of these sisters are great. I don't think you can pick just one of them. And then the rest of the band adds to their greatness.
This is one of the heaviest of their songs, absolutely rock hard.
Heart did hard rock as well as ANYBODY in rock, and with a sass and groove NOBODY else had.
Not really though.
One of my favorites, and the album is so underrated due to the circumstances under which it was made and released. But all the 5 songs that weren't filler are some of the best of their entire career.
Yeah. That whole fandango was sad, but both "second albums" were just fine, despite everything.
Even it up!
EVEN IT UP will give generate hives along your spine. It has horns. It has sass and righteous indignation. It has Ann and Nancy at full tilt. And cranks up the volume to rattle your bones !!
In that same vein, how about a couple of great songs from Jefferson Starship. From their album Freedom at Point Zero there are JANE and FIND YOUR WAY BACK. And from Modern Times the powerful STRANGER. The teaming of Grace Slick and Mickey Thompson is thrilling and and oh so right. Enjoy
One of Heart's best songs. Ann's voice just kicks ass here.
This makes TEN Heart songs you've done. You're well into their rabbit hole, but there are a bunch more to go. "Dreamboat Annie", "Little Queen", "Kick It Out", "Without You", "Dog & Butterfly", "What About Love"... yeah, you'll be on this road for a while. And speaking of ZZ Top, please do "Sleeping Bag".
Great song. That lady can SING!!
You guys should do "If Looks Could Kill You'd Be Lying on the Floor" by Heart. Great rocker.
I agree with everyone who said DOG AND BUTTERFLY!! This is an acoustic ballad, not a hard rockin' Heart song, but it has gorgeously powerful vocals!! I love Barracuda too, but Dog and Butterfly is a completely different side of Heart that makes you just close your eyes and get lost in what you are hearing. Please please please react to this song!
steve fossen is a very underrated bass player, his work on this track is fantastic.
Lastly, The Baby's with John Waite! "Everytime I Think of You" and "Isn't It Time." They have more....plus John Waite went solo, too.
Another awesome song by Heart! You can never go wrong.
As long as you stay away from the 8os.
This song was recorded in 1976 but wasn't released for two years because of issues with their former record company.
If Anne Wilson is singing it. Then that's it for me. SHE ISTHE BEST. I Love her voice. No one does it better. Thank you for your reaction.xxxxx
Lesser known Heart song but an absolute rocker!
Love the Wilson sisters, legendary!! Such a banger.
In their top 3 songs with Barracuda and Crazy On You imo. The great line:
You never realize
The way love dies
When you crucify its soul
I'll keep suggesting "White Lightning and Wine", a Heart gem where rock meets funk meets cow bell. This will rate a quadruple wow and "why didn't we hit this earlier?".
This album has some of my all-time favorite Heart songs, including their version of "Without You" by Badfinger/Nilsson. But this album also has the songs "Just The Wine", "Here Song", and the title track "Magazine", which are all phenomenal.
The sweet side of Heart. Dog and butterfly 🐶 🦋 ❤
There’s so many Heart songs to explore, so many hits, and some amazing deeper cuts as well.
The verse lick sounds so much like Long Cool Woman. Amazing band, I love Heart.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one that thought that 👍
Next Heart song should be "If Looks Could Kill"--hard-driving fire all the way through. This song was supposedly written after the guy Ann was dating cheated on her. You can feel her anger as she spits out the lyrics,
Yeah, except she didn't write the song.
Exactly
Great song, raging guitar!
One of my favorites, for sure. He should be shaking in his boots from her anger in that song!
That would be Baracouda
One of my favorite bands in concert
Ann Wilson was a performer and, in general, a woman a lot of us women looked up to and still do. Being a woman and a male dominated industry has been incredibly tough on women in the music industry.
Why would anyone in their right mind try to control an amazingly talented artist and risk losing all the $ that artist is making for the label just because you want to control them because they are women?
A song that really shows Ann's bluesy side is Heart's cover of Say It Like It Is.
Power vocals and a lot of style.
Sorry, it's Tell It Like It Is.
When this band came out, Everyone was blown away. I was fortunate enough to see them open the Main Theatre of the new National Arts Center in Ottawa. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended.
Heart- Even It Up. A jam!
Heart has a song on their first album called “Sing Child” that I know you will love. Very very cool song.
Heart seems timeless now. I still have a huge fan boy crush on which one? Oh both, of course. Kick It Out, banger. Thanks again.
Heart is my favorite! The Beatles inspired me to play guitar and sing but Heart REALLY inspired me to be in a band. I was able to be in a little band in high school and then in an all-girl band called Rosewood and we played classic rock and classic country. Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Linda Ronstadt were big influences.

She could hit every note as good or better than before which is competely amazing. Nancy was my hero because she played guitar and I always wanted to learn mandoline.
Heart simply doesn't write a bad song, they are my favorite female rockers!
Heart can rock as hard as any band. You really should try early 90s Heart. Black on Black II is maybe the heaviest thing they've ever recorded. They made great music through several different decades.
Another tough Heart song with a message directed at some guy who's not pulling his weight in a relationship is "Even It Up" from 1980.
One of my favorite songs from Heart. Great memories of me and my best friend dancing and singing to this song. My friend looked like Ann Wilson at one time....
Ann Wilson is my spirit animal.
"Mistral Wind" from Dog and Butterfly is according to Nancy the best studio performance Heart has ever had. It's one of their best known album cuts. You guys should check it out.
Okay, I love this band especially their '70s work and for whatever reason I have for loving so many of their songs I think MUSTRAL WIND is my personal favorite. So get on it, Amber and Jay!
Another song of theirs is "These Dreams". Nancy actually is the lead singer for the tune.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Heart twice back in the 80’s one of my favorite songs is Dog and Butterfly.. it’s a bit slower, but Ann’s voice is phenomenal.
A must do is Mistral Wind...sorrily overlooked masterpiece!❤️
Fantastic!!❤ Ann And Nancy OMG!!
For a much softer side of Heart check out the song "Dreamboat Annie" it's a close your eyes take a journey kind of song.
Glad you enjoyed this one. It's obviously from early in their career when most of their hits were a bit heavier. Of course they did shake it up, (not a pun, honest, Folks), sometimes going in a softer, more ballad direction. You'd probably enjoy "Dog and Butterfly" for going that way.
Mistral Wind shows her pipes man!
This is from the album "Magazine".

Nice! I saw Heart at Summer Jam in 1979 at Arrowhead Stadium along with Ted Nugent, The Cars, Missouri, Bob Welch and Sammy Haggar. Good times.
❤😎❤ Such a great song! Your reactions are so much fun. It's interesting... I have the original album and the original vinyl 45 single and both state the writers of this song are Ann Wilson, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen and Nancy Wilson. But when I look online, it shows the writers as only Ann & Nancy Wilson. Interesting. Oh, and the bass player on this song is Steve Fossen. He co-founded Heart in 1967 with guitarist Roger Fisher. He left Heart in 1982.
My moms favorite! Her father is a guitarist and she grew up around the band. She loved them being women and having the "sauce"
A nice smooth easy listening tune with the girls dog and butterfly it's one of those you have to be in that frame of mind but then you will thoroughly enjoy it both of their voices shine check them out
YES!! Keep the volume turned up!! Don’t turn it back down!!
nancy wilson is a very technical guitar player i always called the female jimmy Hendricx. she's right up there. STILL an excellent guitar player. this song is a timeless masterpiece. 50 years from now people will still be listening to this
Great band.
Listening to this in this setting is great and it rocks but listening to it a live a few years ago….it rocks much harder. They are/were much harder live than studio recordings. It’s a whole other vibe.
Jay and Amber, if you really want to get blown away by Ann's voice, listen to Heart's cover of "Unchained Melody". I urge, Urge, URGE you to do so!!!
Even it up is another great uptempo one from this time frame. Definitely need to listen to Sylvan Song/Dream of the Archer. Studio version. Anns singing will blow you away
Make sure you check out the Live at KWSU TV Studio (The Second Ending 1976) show. This song is in the setlist & Ann sounds awesome & she plays a mean flute too.
Seen them several times throughout their career an they never dissapoint!
You can't forget this original lineup with Mike Derosier, Steve Fossen, Howard Leese and Roger Fisher, without them it wouldn't have happened.
Damned straight! 💯👍
You can only wonder just how great the band would have become if the girls hadn't fired the guys who created the band to begin with!

Thanks for doing Heartless, a great song! And like the person below said, you buys will love Kick it Out.. a real down and dirty rocker from the Little Queen album, like Barracuda. Ann is dripping with attitude in that one too.
Can't go wrong with Heart. Another great song!! I really do like your hair Amber - looks great.
Rockin Heaven Down is another great Heart rocker!
I love to watch Amber. She must have two souls. I love the way she looks at her man. I respect her for that. Her expression is amazing.
Jay & Amber--
There's quite a story behind this song
& the album it's from--"Magazine".
This was intended to be Heart's 2nd album,
but the band, especially the sisters,
had various ongoing issues, arguments,
disputes & debates (many of them
legal conflicts &/or contractual problems)
with their original label, Mushroom records.
I'm not all that clear on the details,
but there was a preliminary version
of the album set to be released as
early as 1977. In fact, there was a large
number of copies released (as far as
I can determine, on vinyl LP only),
but, at the time, the band & their label
were in court, arguing about (among
other things) the status of the album
& its line-up of songs. It was ultimately
decided that all copies of the initial release
were to be recalled & destroyed.
The band claimed that the album
as released wasn't "finished" yet
& that other musicians had been
involved in performing/recording
some of the tracks. Some copies
of the initial release did escape
into the music world, however.
Those that have seen or have
copies have noticed & are usually
quick to point out the disclaimer
on the back of the cover.
Eventually, the legal battle was resolved,
but Heart was anxious to switch labels
& went instead to Epic records.
They released "Little Queen" (which
included "Barracuda") & also completed
work on "Magazine", with new &/or
different mixes/performances/recordings
for the "official" released version,
which includes the version
you're reacting to here.
I actually got to meet Ann Wilson
& Howard Leese (one of the other members
of the group) once &, when I asked Ann
what happened with the "Magazine" album,
she said the label owed them money,
which I don't doubt, but I suspect
she didn't want to &/or didn't have time
to go into all the details, which I can respect.
Being a rock star has to be a busy life..
In any case, regarding "Heartless",
it seems that the only change
was using a new vocal track.
Personally, though, I actually
prefer the original vocals.
Here's the original mix...
you can decide for yourselves--
ruclips.net/video/RrM2VPKfj7c/видео.html
"Devil Delight" is the other "unknown, except by hard-core fans"
banger, on this. 🤘🤘⚡
-Excellent break-down of the debacle of "Magazine" story.
-...can you imagine if: the prime cuts from Magazine had been able to be combined with the rest of: Little Queen **mind blown!**
....an even BETTER work of greatness (which-no question!!: Little Queen already is!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥)
The hard hitting engine room on this one along with Ann’s range!
Anything by Heart in the 70's is classic!!!!!!
Yeah, more Heart! They have many great tunes, for another heavy banger, try Back On Black II. It is a killer of a song from the Wilson Sisters, who rock with the best of them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Nancy Wilson was in the movie "Fast times at Ridgemont high"... she was the girl in the Corvette checking out Brad when he was wearing the fish restaurant uniform.
Catching up on some videos after being sick for awhile. Heart rocks. Merry Christmas guys
Heart is the perfect name for this band...
I remember hearing for the first time the real meaning behind their song Barracuda...
They are survivors in a male-dominated industry...
Saw them in Enoshima at the Japan Jam with Firefall, TKO and headliners the Beach Boys...
You want to hear Heart at their absolute hardest, listen to Devil Delight from the same album (Magazine).
Barracuda and Heartless are awesome. My favorite is These Dreams, but I definitely get having Barracuda at the top of the list. It was definitely a privilege growing up with these songs and bands like Heart.
Sisters are doing it for themselves! 😎🔥🤘🎸
If you love the edge of "Barracuda" & "Heartless", you have to hear "City's Burning"!!!
Back beat rock and roll vibe..
Another nice song for female Friday is "We'll sing in the Sunshine" 1960s,, by Gale Garnett.
Great stuff. The next time you want another one of their rock ballads like "Alone" which you did on the channel previously give "What About Love" a look. Ann gets to hold her notes longer so you get to hear the quality of her voice so much better and when she and Nancy are duetting on the chorus it's brilliant.
Hey guys, check out Heart at The Kennedy Center Honors program when they sang Stairway To Heaven honoring Led Zeppelin with Led Zeppelin in the audience. It will blow your minds. Happy Holidays guys from 2RG. 🖤✌🏻🎶🤘🏻
Jay "I know you hear it!" 😎🔥🤘🎸
You should hear Mistral Wind. Amazing power ballad by Heart; it'll blow you away. And you need to hear Dog and Butterfly, which is a gorgeous song with acoustic guitar and both sisters singing beautifully, lots of falsetto. Dog and Butterfly is unlike any Heart song you've heard. And if you haven't heard Crazy On You, that's a must, too.
Would love to see you react to their amazing track "Mistral Wind"!
Dog and Butterfly Even IT Up
The crazy thing is I heard this song on the radio today ,First time in a long time,
She can SANG!!! Seriously need to check out if looks could kill. The best !
TIME FOR HEART'S little queen and also "love alive"(live 1978 "version with amazing ann wilson flute solo at the beginning!!
