    dreamboat annie was one of the best debut albums in history. surpassing maybe boston, guns and roses or foreigner debuts. "magic man" was a powerful single with ann's voice providing direction. "crazy on you" was excellent. there is not a bad song he...re. the title cut was wonderful and dreamy. this album had everything. its where you start with heart. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    Heart is raw and savy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 4, 2001

    In a great year for rock music, Hearts debut album stood out among the pack. A great album by any measure, Heart managed to establish the bands unique sound and song writing ability it has been known for ever since. Today big hits like Magic Man, and... Crazy on You endure as rock institutions, but don't forget other greats from this album like Dreamboat Annie, Soul of the Sea, I'll Be Your Song, and Sing Child among others. Heart has stood the test of time, and is still a fan favorite. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Dreamboat Annie

  • All Music Guide

    In the 1980s and '90s, numerous women recorded blistering rock, but things were quite different in 1976 -- when female singers tended to be pigeonholed as soft-rockers and singer-songwriters and were encouraged to take after Carly Simon, Melissa Manchester or Joni Mitchell rather than Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Greatly influenced by Zep, Heart did its part to help open doors for ladies of loudness with the excellent Dreamboat Annie (reissued on a gold audiophile CD by DCC Compact Classics in 1995). Aggressive yet melodic rockers like "Sing Child," "White Lightning and White" and the rock radio staples "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You" led to the tag "the female Led Zeppelin." And in fact, Robert Plant did have a strong influence on Ann Wilson. But those numbers and caressing, folkish ballads like "How Deep It Goes" and the title song also make it clear that the Wilson sisters had their own identity and vision early on.

Heart

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson were the creative spark behind Heart, a hard rock group who initially found success in the mid-'70s, only to reach greater heights after engineering a major comeback a decade later. The daughters of a Marine Corps captain, Ann (born June 19, 1950) and Nancy (born March 16, 1954) grew up in both Southern California and Taiwan before the Wilso... Read more
