Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Originally released in 1976, Heart's debut release is now celebrating it's 40th anniversary. Dreamboat Annie was an impressive hard rock debut. "Crazy on You," which spotlighted the piercing vocals of singer Ann Wilson and the chunky guitar bluster of her sister Nancy, entered the Top 40, and the more mystical "Magic Man" climbed to #9. Dreamboat Annie also exposed a more vulnerable side of the band with the title track. The album was recorded on an Ampex MM1000 16-track tape recorder (which formerly belonged to United Western Recorders) at the Can-Base Studios in Vancouver, BC, which were later renamed to the current Mushroom Studios. It was the first major hit album recorded there.
