Ann Wilson on flute! I gotta tell you the truth Salvog, every reactor is sleeping on this monumental debut album. Every song is brilliant and truly worthy of a reaction ✌️
Been a long time Heart fan and Sing Child, along w White Lightning and Wine, are my favorite Heart bangers! You're right, these tracks are painfully overlooked as most only know the singles/ hits. If you can check out the 1977 live versions. They performed an entire set of Dreamboat Annie and additional tracks "Heartless" which would be the single off their "3rd" album, Magazine. I'd also invite you to check out their more acoustic, folky pop songs which feature Nancy's acoustic offerings "Soul of the Sea", "I'll Be Your Song", "Love Alive", "Sylvan Song/ Dream of the Archer" which features killer guitars and mandolins.
You HAVE to check out Jethro Tull. Thick as a Brick is one song in an entire album and it is so incredible. Ian Anderson wrote the material and is the lead singer and flautist. You feel like rock and roll meets middle earth when you listen to them
Just realized you'd probably enjoy an instrumental piece Heart used to play to start their shows very early on called "Mainstage", which is probably the closest they got to playing progressive rock. Ann playing the flute again, Nancy and Roger Fisher doing a guitar solo duet, and a killer synth solo which I noticed you always enjoy 😄 There's video of it from a 1976 concert.
I haven't heard this song in a long long time. Always loved it. I certainly wore out this cassette in my truck back in the day...Thanks for the great memory!
Way back, 45 years ago, I saw these ladies. At the time they only had 2 major album releases, this one and Little Queen, so the song selection was from both records. Oh, with a little Zeppelin thrown in for the encore.
Dude. You really need to check out the live performance of this from the 70's...killer guitar solo included. You miss so much sometimes with the studio versions.
Can't tell you how many times I've listened to that album, but it's been sooooo long that I forgot about "Sing Child Sing." Thanks for the reminder, and I think I'm going to sneak it into my husband's playlist for when he plays drums... hehe. Thanks for this one SG!
Hey Salv, loving your reaction vids. This is a great deep cut from an amazing album. If you're interested in more amazing Ann Wilson vocals you could check out Heart covering Love reign O'er Me originally by the Who from the Live Dreamboat Annie concert, or her solo cover of Rooster by Alice in Chains, or Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower from her latest album, Fierce Bliss. All the best, K
This whole debut album is FIRE!!! This song not talked about because it's a deep cut, but you're right, it's a shame. You have to do White Lightning & Wine next - you won't regret it. And after a deep dive into this album proper, a jaunt into Jethro Tull territory is in order. Locomotive Breath, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick...just for starters.
Heart's 2007 live version from "Dreamboat Annie Live" adds the Stockholm Strings (string section if that wasn't obvious) and as already mentioned, Nancy's harmonica solo...plus you get to see Ann play the flute.
@@SalvoG As far as Jethro Tull - this is another huge rabbit hole. Over time, their sound (genre?) changes/evolves several times. Very early stuff is bluesy rock, moving toward some harder rock with some folk rock, then their own kind of prog rock, including a concept album or two. You'll eventually find kind of a midevil prog rock sound. No matter which version of Tull you pick between 1968 - 1979, you'll find great stuff. After 1979, there are still a few good albums and even some of the lesser albums have some quality tracks. One other note - Ian Anderson (singer, composer, lead vocals, lead flute, acoustic guitar, occasionally bass, occasionally electric guitar) is quite the energetic theatrical presence on stage. Unfortunately, a lot of the live video quality (sound-wise) is not great...so you should probably react to the studio versions of songs first and then once you're familiar, watch some of the live stuff. Enjoy!
@@SalvoG Tull is a deep rabbit hole, and one of those bands that shifted style greatly over time. “Aqualung” was their biggest commercial success, but there’s so much more to discover. Try “Velvet Green” from their classic “prog folk” album “Songs From the Wood.”
Not only in the 70s and early 80s either. Even during their peak in the mid and late 80s, they had so many great songs in those albums that weren't the big ballads that never got any airplay, and SalvoG has reacted to quite a bit of them from Bad Animals and Brigade. And then there's their 2004 album Jupiters Darling which is one of their best ever with 16 great songs but basically unknown even among more casual fans. I gotta say at least people are finally finding out about these songs. I never expected reactors to catch wind of so many of these songs that are being reacted to now. It's great!
in the 70s and 80s the label executives pushed what they believed would get the highest yield even before a record was released.... you would know what album was going to be a big hit on the day the truck arrived at the distribution warehouse with the new albums .... whichever albums had the highest pallet counts was where the executives put their bank. Just a few old rich guys in an office pulling all the strings.... sad but true... in the case of Heart they were on a little indy label competing with the big dogs... their popularity was because they were that good that their grassroots approach brought them fame. Very rare in those days.
@@Don-Jack Heart's biggest asset and it's biggest liability is the fact it's led by women -- even the people who say they love their music don't give them the same respect as the male bands. Thats just how it is.
@@SalvoG It's because they're led by women. They've never got the credit of even male-led bands with half the accomplishments. I noticed on the banner you put up for your channel that Heart isn't pictured or listed even though a band like Styx which is less covered on your channel and has far less accomplishments than Heart is listed. We all tend to not give them quite the same regard as similar or even lesser bands that are led by men.
A current band that is similar to Heart is Plush. A few of their songs are great are Better Off Alone, Hate, and Sober. Much like Liliac they are bringing back great rock without all the musical gimmicks. They aren't trying to be louder or faster or crazier. They're just making great music
The guitar sounds (right after Sing Child Sing) reminds me so much like a Led Zeppelin riff, but I cannot place it. A deep cut from Physical Graffiti I think. Anybody else hear that? I love it!
Got some more for you to listen to. This band is very very unusual and not formulaic like today's pop artists are. Try "White Lightning and Wine", Bebe Le Strange, Sylvan's Song, Hijinx, Dream of the Archer, Soul of the Sea. You won't realize that you are listening to the same band in some cases. Ann is a beautiful flutist and Nancy can play anything with strings. Mandolin, banjo, guitars, etc.
This song and your comments to it do underscore your need to branch into listening to Jethro Tull (a band, not a guy); try their "Locomotive Breath" for a basic intro.
its called AOR. Album Oriented Rock. meaning every song is great. but not every song is directed at radio airplay. back then we listened to the whole album. we knew every song. you are conflating "underrated" with radio airplay or, in modern vernacular, "clicks". that just wasnt part of the equation back then. Artists knew they had to have a 3 minute song to make the execs happy but the rest of the album was art. if you look at it with a modern mindset, you are missing the point.
Piano and bass as well. She played bass on 3 tracks from their 1980 album Bebe le Strange including the title track (awesome bassline by the way), and on a few other tracks since. Also was the bass player for their sidegroup The Lovemongers in the 90s and when Ann & Nancy toured alone in 1999. So I'd say bass is like her main instrument. She would play bass when they were composing and when they recorded demos as well, like this one: ruclips.net/video/BEe9HqtDQCE/видео.html
Did not notice that you have missed Jethro Tull completely. Now that is odd indeed. Maybe try "Heavy Horses" from the album of the same name. It's not a bad track to give you a first taste I guess. Maybe "Moths" from that album too. It's a massive back catalogue sat there waiting to be plundered (joke based on a line in the lyric of HH). Oh you are in for such a treat. You said folk rock is of interest, well you can feed that hunger there. There's so much to that band. Hopefully others will also have suggestions. GO way back to see where they started, living in the past, witches promise, bouree. Or jump forward to the Crest Of Knave album - one of my faves and try farm on the freeway, or Budapest, not like early or even middle age Tull. Boy all that new stuff to go through, I envy you, but i know what's waiting there for you! Great lyrics. 😉

Ann Wilson on flute!
I gotta tell you the truth Salvog, every reactor is sleeping on this monumental debut album. Every song is brilliant and truly worthy of a reaction ✌️
Heart has so many songs that are bangers like this one and are completely ignored... So many gems to be found
"What is this guitar?" Well, it's a Fender Stratocaster, playing a Fmaj7, sliding into a Emaj7. Jazz chords.
The whole debut album is killer. Any song you pick will be worth your while.
Been a long time Heart fan and Sing Child, along w White Lightning and Wine, are my favorite Heart bangers! You're right, these tracks are painfully overlooked as most only know the singles/ hits. If you can check out the 1977 live versions. They performed an entire set of Dreamboat Annie and additional tracks "Heartless" which would be the single off their "3rd" album, Magazine.

This is my favorite Heart song! I have spent years perfecting the flute solo and I still can't touch Ann's talent!
You HAVE to check out Jethro Tull. Thick as a Brick is one song in an entire album and it is so incredible. Ian Anderson wrote the material and is the lead singer and flautist. You feel like rock and roll meets middle earth when you listen to them
The irony is he wrote it to basically make fun of progressive rock. It is now considered one of the top five progressive rock albums.
Another deeper cut is Heart's "Love Alive". Great Ballad, very different vibe from this song. But Heart is Golden to me.
Just realized you'd probably enjoy an instrumental piece Heart used to play to start their shows very early on called "Mainstage", which is probably the closest they got to playing progressive rock. Ann playing the flute again, Nancy and Roger Fisher doing a guitar solo duet, and a killer synth solo which I noticed you always enjoy 😄 There's video of it from a 1976 concert.
Definitely gotta check that out then
I haven't heard this song in a long long time. Always loved it. I certainly wore out this cassette in my truck back in the day...Thanks for the great memory!
WOW. Awesome tune! I'm 58 and have never even heard this before. Thank you.
I remember when this album was released, I was in high school and music was epic.
if you love me like music, i'll be your song is my favorite heart tune
White Lightning & Wine! Very similar. Hope to see ya react to it soon.
The whole album, Dreamboat Annie is killer!! This song is very Zeppelin-y with a bit of Jethro Tull in my opinion.
Way back, 45 years ago, I saw these ladies.
At the time they only had 2 major album releases, this one and Little Queen, so the song selection was from both records. Oh, with a little Zeppelin thrown in for the encore.
Yep. Saw them with Kansas at Cap Center largo MD little Queen tour❤❤❤❤❤
Dude. You really need to check out the live performance of this from the 70's...killer guitar solo included. You miss so much sometimes with the studio versions.
Are you talking about the KWSU show? The whole concert is available on their site
@@nathangriffin3149 Yes. I've watched it.
Tull for sure. It will blow your mind.
You should try Jethro Tull, great band. Heart's "Devil Delight" is another great rocker.
He's already done Devil Delight, check it out.
You're correct! Extremely underrated! Early HEART albums were really, really good! This was one of those great rock debut albums.
So glad you enjoyed this…one of my favorite Heart tunes, and one of their deepest cuts. Others I’d look at are Devil’s Delight and Strange Night.
Criminally under rated song and album. This song kills it all the way through.
Can't tell you how many times I've listened to that album, but it's been sooooo long that I forgot about "Sing Child Sing." Thanks for the reminder, and I think I'm going to sneak it into my husband's playlist for when he plays drums... hehe. Thanks for this one SG!
Great song. Got lots of radio play back in the day, where I lived.

I'll be your song rules... you should give it a listen
Ann Wilson is the one on the flute
This came out around the time I was in junior high, I never get tired of this album
They are so great on this. Deep cut, love it. It's very short but listen to the title track.
In a live performance from 2007, Nancy adds an harmonica solo.
Also, you have to react to Jethro Tull!
that's sick!
What song by them should I start with?
@@SalvoG Well, my favorite is "My God" but their most known song is "Aqualung" from the same album
Heart's 2007 live version from "Dreamboat Annie Live" adds the Stockholm Strings (string section if that wasn't obvious) and as already mentioned, Nancy's harmonica solo...plus you get to see Ann play the flute.

There are several Heart songs in the seventies and early eighties that were overlooked, and I never understood why.
Yeah I dont get it!

Ah yes heart first time I saw them was a gr 9 high-school dance met them many times till fame took them away.

Heart has never been underrated and is less so with every new listener. Love your enthusiasm. P.S. David S is correct.
The guitar sounds (right after Sing Child Sing) reminds me so much like a Led Zeppelin riff, but I cannot place it. A deep cut from Physical Graffiti I think. Anybody else hear that? I love it!
Sounds like Houses of the Holy
YES!!!!!!!!!! More Heart! Good luck finding a bad HEART song....
Now combine Ann Wilson with Disturbed and go react to "Don't Tell Me" ... you won't regret it.
Nice Shirt! Heart Rocks!!
Straight 🔥
It’s a great song no one gives any cred to! I had this album it was my fav! Reminds me in the bridge to Robin Trower! Thanks

of course the band kills it, but Ann's vocal range and control are unbelievable. this is my favorite song from them
Somewhere in heaven by Santana 2005!!
That's a good thing that it doesn't sound top 40.
We try to tell you but people don't listen.😅
