Notes
Produced by Mike Flicker Dreamboat Annie Artist Heart Album Title Dreamboat Annie Date of Release Mar ??, 1976 (release) inprint AMG Rating (Best-of-Artist) Genre Rock Styles Hard Rock Time 39:46 In the 1980s and '90s, numerous women recorded blistering rock, but things were quite different in 1976 -- when female singers tended to be pigeonholed as soft-rockers and singer-songwriters and were encouraged to take after Carly Simon, Melissa Manchester or Joni Mitchell rather than Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Greatly influenced by Zep, Heart did its part to help open doors for ladies of loudness with the excellent Dreamboat Annie (reissued on a gold audiophile CD by DCC Compact Classics in 1995). Aggressive yet melodic rockers like "Sing Child," "White Lightning and White" and the rock radio staples "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You" led to the tag "the female Led Zeppelin." And in fact, Robert Plant did have a strong influence on Ann Wilson. But those numbers and caressing, folkish ballads like "How Deep It Goes" and the title song also make it clear that the Wilson sisters had their own identity and vision early on. -- Alex Henderson, All Music Guide 1975 CD Capitol C2-46491 1976 LP Mushroom 5005 1975 CS Capitol C4-46491 1979 LP Mushroom MRS-2-SP 1980 LP Nautilus NR-3 1995 CD DCC 1058 1995 CS EMI-Capitol Special Markets 19826 1995 CD EMI-Capitol Special Markets 19826 1995 CD DCC 1058 Capitol Capitol Heart - Arranger Roger Fisher - Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Steel), Lap Steel Guitar Roy Ayotte - Percussion, Conga Tesse Bensussen - Vocals, Vocals (bckgr) Michael DeRosier - Drums Robert Deans - Synthesizer, Piano, Keyboards Mike Flicker - Percussion, Arranger, Producer, Engineer, Tympani [Timpani] Steve Fossen - Bass, Percussion Geoff Foubert - Banjo, Vocals, Vocals (bckgr) Kat Hendrikse - Drums Rolf Henneman - Engineer Jim Hill - Vocals, Vocals (bckgr) Howard Leese - Synthesizer, Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Keyboards, Vocals, Bells, Orchestral Arrangements, Orchestral Bells Duris Maxwell - Drums Brian Newcombe - Bass Ann Wilson - Guitar (Acoustic), Flute, Guitar, Violin, Keyboards, Vocals, Vocals (bckgr) Nancy Wilson - Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar, Piano, Guitar (Electric), Vocals, Vocals (bckgr), Guitar (12 String) Odea Murphy - Remastering Toby Rankin - Photography Patrick Collins - Mastering David Wilson - Drums
