I love this band. Ann and Nancy Wilson have been solid players in the music business since the early 70’s and they are still smokin’ hot! Both women are multi-talented musical powerhouses. Nancy plays guitar, mandolin, keyboards, harmonica as well as singing vocals. Ann sings lead, but also plays flute, guitar, bass, autoharp and keyboards. Heart is just the essence of chick rock. Not convinced? Watch this clip of Heart with Gretchen Wilson:

Heart is still touring in the US and I noticed they will be in my neck of the woods in July. (Hey Lindsay – how about a road trip?) Check out their website www.heart-music.com for tour details. While you are there, join the free Heart Monger fan club. I did. ;)
For some real entertainment (and for the die-hard fans), here is a clip from 1986. Love the hair. :))

Ewww – leggings! Forgot about those. I don’t think I ever wore them, but please don’t say they are coming back. Yuck! :-&

I had the biggest hair and the legging look is back. Luckily I’m too old to care about what is in style anymore.

Oooohhh – an open door for the age jokes… >:)
And I’m with ya on the clothes and hair. It was my generation that set the trends in those days, too. What were we thinking? #-o

Excuse me … Ann’s voice, right? Nancy was the hot blond on lead guitar who never said a word. It’s been a few years and my memory is starting to fail me. heavy sigh!

I *hated* the eighties! ;) ESPECIALLY the hair – and the leggings and the boots and the layers of clothing. Before – it was 501 Levi’s and t-shirts — and today, we are finally back to something reasonable and comfortable.
Do not blame me – I objected then!
But, Heart was okay. Nancy’s voice is fabulous.
