was a clear spring evening when Heart joined together to capture an
intimate show in their hometown of Seattle. The setting was the historic
Moore Theatre which had been dressed to resemble a "glorified living
room," complete with brass lamps and Persian rugs. Augmented on some
songs by members of the Seattle Symphony, Heart performed new acoustic
arrangements of their best-known works, as well as some choice rarities.
The title track, recorded exclusively for this event, is featured in an
accompanying music video. The Road Home captures the best of all the
songs you know by Heart.
Heart - Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are
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 Wilson family
settled in Seattle, WA. Throughout their formative years, both were
interested in folk and pop music; while Ann never took any formal music
lessons as a child (she later learned to play several instruments),
Nancy took up guitar and flute.
After both sisters spent some
time at college, they decided to try their hand as professional
musicians, and while Nancy began performing as a folksinger, Ann joined
the all-male vocal group Heart.
Based in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Heart was actually formed in 1963 by bassist Steve Fossen and
brothers Roger Fisher and Mike Fisher; initially dubbed the Army, they
later became White Heart before settling on simply Heart at the
beginning of the '70s. After her arrival in the group, Ann became
romantically involved with guitarist Mike Fisher; when Nancy joined in
1974, she in turn began a relationship with guitarist Roger Fisher. Soon
after Nancy's arrival, Mike Fisher retired from active performing to
become the band's sound engineer. After gaining a following in
Vancouver, Heart was approached by Shelly Siegel, the owner of the
Canadian label Mushroom; augmented by keyboardist Howard Leese and
drummer Michael Derosier, they recorded their debut album, Dreamboat
Annie, in 1975.
After selling more than 30,000 copies north of
the border, Mushroom issued the LP in the U.S., where it quickly
achieved platinum status on the strength of the hit singles "Crazy on
You" and "Magic Man." In 1977, Heart jumped ship to the CBS affiliate
Portrait, resulting in a protracted legal battle with Siegel, who in
1978 released the unfinished LP Magazine on Mushroom shortly after the
band issued its true follow-up, Little Queen, on Portrait. The single
"Barracuda" was another massive hit, and like its predecessor, Little
Queen sold over a million copies.
After 1978's Dog &
Butterfly, both of the Wilson/Fisher romances ended and Roger Fisher
left the group. In 1980, Heart issued Bebe le Strange; following a
lengthy U.S. tour, both Fossen and Derosier exited and were replaced by
ex-Spirit and Firefall bassist Mark Andes and former Gamma drummer Denny
Carmassi. After 1982's Private Audition and 1983's Passionworks
slumped, the group was largely written off by industry watchers, and
moved to Capitol Records.
In 1985, however, Heart emerged with a
self-titled effort that ultimately sold more than five million copies on
its way to launching four Top Ten hits: "What About Love?," "Never,"
the chart-topping "These Dreams," and "Nothin' at All." 1987's Bad
Animals continued their comeback success; "Alone" was another number one
hit, and both "Who Will You Run To" and "There's the Girl" achieved
considerable airplay as well. Brigade, issued in 1990, featured the
number two smash "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You," as well as the
Top 25 hits "I Didn't Want to Need You" and "Stranded."
In the
early '90s, the Wilson sisters took a brief hiatus from Heart to form
the Lovemongers, an acoustic quartet fleshed out by Sue Ennis and Frank
Cox; in 1992, they issued a four-song EP that included a cover of Led
Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore." Heart returned in 1993 with Desire
Walks On, on which Andes and Carmassi were replaced with bassist
Fernando Saunders and drummer Denny Fongheiser. With 1995's The Road
Home, Heart enlisted onetime Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones to produce
a live, acoustic set reprising hits like "Dreamboat Annie," "Crazy on
You," and "Barracuda."
Heart went on hiatus by the late '90s, as
the Wilson sisters concentrated on the Lovemongers, issuing a pair of
albums: 1997's Whirlygig and 1998's Here Is Christmas. But Heart wasn't
completely silent: they were the subject of one of the better episodes
of VH1's Behind the Music; a pair of best-of sets were issued (1998's
Greatest Hits covered their early classics, while their later years were
spotlighted on 2000's Greatest Hits: 1985-1995); and their music
continued to pop up in movie soundtracks (2000's The Virgin Suicides,
among others).
In 1999, Nancy released her first solo album, Live
at McCabe's Guitar Shop, and a year later penned the score to her
husband Cameron Crowe's hit motion picture Almost Famous, while Ann
continued to play with others -- in the summer of 2001, she participated
in the A Walk Down Abbey Road: A Tribute to the Beatles tour, which
also featured Todd Rundgren, John Entwistle (the Who), and Alan Parsons
(the Alan Parsons Project). Heart returned to active recording for
Jupiters Darling, released on Sovereign Artists in 2004, and issued
Dreamboat Annie Live (a live performance of tracks from the band's debut
album, recorded in Los Angeles in 2007) three years later. Red Velvet
Car, an all new collection of original material, was released in August
2010.
