Heart — Dreamboat Annie

Vinyl LP in Gatefold Sleeve

Heart’s hard rockin’ 1976 debut is loaded with FM radio classics, including “Crazy On You,” “Magic Man” and “White Lighting and Wine.” Originally released in 1976, Dreamboat Annie was an impressive hard rock debut. “Crazy On You,” which spotlighted the piercing vocals of singer Ann Wilson and the chunky guitar bluster of her sister Nancy, entered the Top 40, while the more mystical “Magic Man” climbed to #9. Dreamboat Annie also exposed a more vulnerable side of the band with the title track. The album was recorded at the Can-Base Studios in Vancouver, BC (later renamed Mushroom Studios), and was the first major hit album recorded there. With their straightforward, no-nonsense brand of rock, it’s easy to see why the Wilson sisters were dubbed the female version of Led Zeppelin by the rock press.
