Heart, Fanatic. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating ****

Two years after Heart brought out Red Velvet Car, Ann and Nancy Wilson have once again teamed up with Ben Mink and come up with an album of distinction. For those that only remember Heart as producing hard rock ballads during the 1980’s and know nothing of their early albums such as Little Queen or Dreamboat Annie, before you listen to Fanatic, check out the early recordings, see how rich and full Ann Wilson’s voice was and then compare. For as Red Velvet Car showed, the two sisters are back and sounding as good as they did before they sold out to the 80’s corporate mainstream.

Heart, Red Velvet Car. Album Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. October 17th 2010.

It can seem odd to hear an album by a band and think that they have finally gone full circle and ended up where they began, fresh faced and full of hope and a wonderful sense of naivety of how their lives would pan out over the following decades.

Red Velvet Car is the new album by 70’s American folk heroes and 80’s rock stars Heart, that crushed all before them and gave a breath of life to a dying genre before almost imploding themselves and becoming caricatures of what they had set out to preserve.
