About Heart
Heart developed from the Pacific Northwest rock scene around the powerful singing of Ann Wilson and the guitar work of Nancy Wilson. The band combined hard-rock riffs with acoustic passages and folk textures, supported by players including Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen, Howard Leese and Michael DeRosier. Its debut Dreamboat Annie appeared through Vancouver label Mushroom Records in 1975, before the US release. Little Queen and Dog & Butterfly continued that range; the 1980s albums gave large vocal melodies more prominent keyboard settings.
