Free Music Review: Dreamboat Annie
Hit: 4 Stars
I remember when "Magic Man" hit the airwaves, I was so impressed that I went out & bought the album. The Wilson sisters from Seattle did not disappoint. "Magic Man", at the time, was a radical departure for a lead female vocalist. As the Wilson sisters were so fond of saying, "We rawk!" This was an impressive debut from the group. They did three different versions of "Dreamboat Annie", albeit each subtly different. "Crazy on You" was the other hit from this album though it didn't chart as well. "Crazy on You", in my opinion, was just as good as "Magic Man". What set it apart was the acoustic intro, Nancy was an excellent rhythm guitarist. Ann had the killer voice that could gravitate from soft to harsh in a second, a very gifted vocalist. Other great songs on this album include "White Lightening and Wine" & "Sing Child".
Heart could do ballads and rock hard. They have been compared to Led Zeppelin, even called "the female Led Zeppelin". I'm not sure who propagated this myth but Heart didn't do anything to disprove it. They wholeheartedly covered Led Zeppelin songs. I'm not familiar with them before they hit it big but did see them in concert about the time the album Magazine was released. They put on a great show but they didn't do any Led Zeppelin songs. Since that time, however, they have released two Led Zeppelin songs that they covered: "Rock and Roll" & "Stairway to Heaven". It's even been claimed that one song from their second album "Dream of the Archer" was a complete appropriation of the Led Zeppelin song "The Battle of Evermore". Certainly there are some similarities. But the comparison to Led Zeppelin was an unfair one. Ann had the vocal ability to match Robert Plant but the rest of the group weren't on the same talent level of Led Zeppelin. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed Heart, they were a group that was capable of many styles & they did them well.
