Synopsis

With more Top 10 hits than any other female-fronted music group in history, beginning with such ’70s classics as Crazy on You,” Barracuda,’” Magic Man,” and Straight On,” Rolling Stone hailed Heart’s sister team of Nancy and Ann Wilson [for] shrewdly pulling off a Led Zep role reversal,” while still succeeding in mainstream Top 40 Radio. The band rode a second wave of even greater commercial success throughout the 1980s, producing such smash hits as These Dreams,’” Who You Gonna Run To?”, Alone,” Never,” Stranded,” There’s the Girl,” What About Love?”, and All I Wanna Do (Is Make Love to You)”, going on to sell a cumulative 30+ million albums worldwide! Now, for the first time, inside the pages of Heart: In the Studio, fans get the V.I.P. access behind the scenes of the writing and recording of all of Heart’s hit albums and smash singles! This title features exclusive interviews with band leaders Ann and Nancy Wilson, longtime guitarist Howard Leese, as well as with producers Mike Flicker, Ron Nevison, Keith Olsen, and Ritchie Zito. This study of Heart’s hit-making process in the studio is the first of its kind, and sure to be a must-have for any Heart fan!
