Yeah, if you want to hear both sisters sing, you have to do “Dog and Butterfly”, it’s a ballad, the softer side of Heart, but oh my, it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard!
The lead guitarist is Roger Fisher, whose brother Mike is the "Magic Man" that Ann is singing about. Dreamboat Annie is one of the best debut albums ever. My next pick for a reaction is also from that album: "How Deep It Goes."
I'm a professional musician and it's my opinion that Anne is the best female rock vocalist ever. There are others that are equally good but when it comes to rock and her exquisite control she really has no equal.
@@Chrisrob90406 Agreed. I think the later Heart was just as good, but different. For sure, the guitar riffs in the early stuff were amazing and hit like a hammer, where in the later music, the sound was more mellow, but Ann's voice got so much fuller. All of it was great.
Great reaction guys! Yup! Heart in my humble opinion is TOP for female rock. I'm surprised you haven't done "Crazy On you" yet. I think Jay is going to LOVE that opening riff.
OH ya - Crazy on You is freakin' amazing. And Amber will love the lyrics. Both of you will love the lyrics and the music. In my humble opinion, its better than Magic Man.
Thats Roger Fisher shredding that guitar. One of the greatest and one of the least appreciated guitarist of the seventies. If we're gonna be completely honest, he taught Nancy how to shred on the guitar before he was no longer in the band. Roger was a co-founder of the band before the Wilson sisters were even in the picture. Ann came first. When Nancy was later brought into the band, she was basically just a young folk singer who played acoustic guitar. She learned a lot from Roger in those years he was still in the band. He created a lot of the cool guitar riffs of Heart's early songs. The classic "Barracuda" riff was his. He was the main lead guitar in the band. Howard Lease who was also a top player in the band often doubled on lead guitar with Roger.
THANK YOU! for pointing all that out about Roger! Without Roger, Heart would not have been the band it was in their eariy years! One song that really spotlights Roger's skillful lead guitar playing is "Sing Child" from this same album. You can really hear the influence Jimi Hendrix had on him in that one tune as well as Zeppelin.
@@rogerhuggettjr.7675 There are so many unique female singers in my top 10, but I don't attribute them to the "rock" category necessarily. Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, Natalie Merchant, Jewel, Marie Fredriksson of Roxette, Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries just to name a few...
@@kimbrash2025 I love Stevie Nicks and the Cranberries, but hadn't thought of them as rockers, but more pop singers. I thought of Joan Jett, but she was a distant 3rd for me.
I was a Zeppelin fan back in the days and both Rush and Heart were clearly inspired by Led Zep. Three of my favorite bands from back then. Heart does AMAZING covers of Zeppelin, from way back...
After they covered Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors Jimmy Page and Robert Plant said they could cover any Zeppelin song they want whenever they want.
Herat also was influenced by Jethro Tull, not only in their use of flute. In “Magic Man’ in particular, the guitar solos are clearly heavily influenced by Tull lead guitarist Martin Barre. Listen to Tull’s “Bursting Out” live double album and you’ll hear what I mean.
Can you imagine, being 15-16 years old and this is the first HEART song you hear so you rush out to buy their debut album as soon as it it's the store shelves.!!!?!!! The wonderous days of the 70's were truly magical when it comes to rock music. Love your channel, love your reactions, keep rockin'.
Benatar, Wilson, Joplin, Ronstadt and special mention for Karen Carpenter who still has the purest most soothing angelic voices of all time, albeit soft rock.
This is one of Heart's best, early tracks; the sophisticated arrangement, the million-and-one instruments, and everyone on top of their game. Thanks so much for this reaction video, Rob Squad!!
This song makes me think of when I first met my husband at 15 and I used to sneak out to see him. We have been married for 40 yrs now. My favorite Heart Song. She says he has magic hands- sexual attraction to this man.
This song is the perfect example of "The Heart Sound". Amazing vocals, "teasing" guitar solo rifts, "music drops" at random, shift in focus of lyrics to notes, out of the world "angelic" harmonies, and an underlying 'drum line' to hold it all together. PS: When Ann and Nancy harmonize in the later half of the song? That is what the mythical "Sirens" must have sounded like to lure sailors to their doom.
Heart easily deserve the honours to sit up there with the big boys that are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones etc... as you mentioned in their tribute to Led Zeppelin, they are still rocking it out with amazing vocals, guitar sounds and the band is amazing. One of the legendary rock icon bands.
@@TANTRUMGASM The top tier includes a band that had 20 number 1 songs in 7 years and has outsold every musician who has ever lived . I think you know who that is. Only Elvis and Michael are on that tier with them.
I saw an interview one time where Ann said she didn't think her voice was strong enough to sing lead. Oh Lord was she wrong! #1 female rock voice of all time! And the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous doesn't hurt either.#heart fan for life!
This was my husband and my song . He was 33 I was 20 and he had amazing blue eyes. He passed away in 2003. I love this song. Thank you for the memory flashback.We were married for 18 years when he passed away.Ha Ha Ha ha about the girls leaving and growing up. A son is a son till he takes a wife a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life. ( funny how it freaked you out Jay. ) Queens , then Stevie Nicks. Happy Birthday Jay.
@🍄 SHAMAN 2018-96🍄 What about your comment, then? Is it relevant to the song or the channel? I'd say not. But hey, don't get hot under the collar or fire back with more of your thinly veiled intolerance/hate/dissatisfaction or anything like that. I was just being brutally honest, and you should appreciate that, as one person 'who could care less about (your) hurt feelings' to another.
This is from their first album. At that time their lead guitarist was Roger Fisher, with Howard Leese also handling electric guitar and keys. Nancy mostly did acoustic guitar (which shows up here in places low in the mix) and background vocals. Nancy's guitar role grew much larger with Roger left the band after their fourth(?) album.
I remember flying home from Winnipeg in the Summer 1976 (I was 12), I was visiting my Dad. Air Canada had a feature on Heart and this album, on one of the radio station that played on the plane. Now that I think of it, it was probably a recorded program (things were so different back then). I remember the Montreal Olympic Games hype, and the first time I heard this haunting song, was on the plane home. The world was younger than today, but the music was better.
A song that stands the test of time. It even sounds better today! And the interlude is one of the most iconic pieces of pop culture of the late 20th century.
This is without a doubt one of the most iconic rock songs of the entire 1970s. I was 9 years old this came out and I still have my original copy on vinyl. Ann and Nancy Wilson are two of the most iconic musicians ever
I think Ann is in her late 60's/ early 70's now and she still sounds the same!! And she still has the same "aura". She does a lot of shows in the SF Bay area still. She still leaves me dumbfounded and blushing. Beautiful woman in every sense of the word.
I love almost everything Heart has done but Dreamboat Annie is very near the top for me... you NEED to hear it... Ann has a voice that is top 5 ALL TIME best voices! Not many can match her tone and range with that kind of clear power and I , in my 68 years have heard them all. :)
This is early Heart. IMO, Ann Wilson is the Diva of female rock singers. The Wilson sisters were HUGE fans of Zeppelin, & even played in concert with JPJ from Zep on a live album thats really good👍 Nancy Wilson also has a good voice & sang lead on some songs too. This band line up was their best. Saw them live on 2nd album tour. Opened for Nugent & The Cars. Freaking AWESOME.
This was their first hit from 1977... Put them seriously on the map... I said the same thing about Ann Wilson after hearing this song... Best female voice in rock, period...
Never cared for Heart back in the day. But ever since I have been watching all the various reactions over the past year. I absolutely love Heart! I'm 62, Was a hard rocker back then. The Barracuda video, I can't get enough of. By the way, Happy Birthday Jay! We love you two!!!!
Happy Birthday, Jay!!! This song is not so much a girl leaving home for a boy, but is more about a young girl being infatuated with an older man who is gently coaxing her into a seduction. - "Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child" It's my favorite Heart song!
I was blown away watching some of their live performances. Crazy strong voice, with an incredible presence on stage. Plus, I love watching Nancy playing.
Heart is the benchmark by which all female-led rock groups should be judged, as well as a solid benchmark by which *any* rock group should be judged. Artistry, talent, skill, and stage presence are all on the top tier.
I was in 16 when this album was released in the US, it was released a year earlier in Canada, on Friday's our art teacher allowed us to bring an album in while we did our art projects...as soon as Carrie put this on the turntable, I was hooked, been a fan ever since, Rock ON!!
Happy birthday, Jay! Yes! Heart! More Heart! Definitely check out Never, These Dreams, Barracuda and Crazy on You. Ann and Nancy are so very good and in These Dreams you'll get to hear Nancy take lead vocals.
Heck I have NEICES I've welcomed back a number of times,, LOL Just here when they need a place to land. My daughters, thank goodness, have been strong enough and stable enough, they haven't needed to.
@@garyarnett1220 love this so much. I've had a niece live with us too. The world is beautiful and trying. I want all the kids to be able to explore it with a bit of security. Also it's not bad for them if they have to scratch and scramble a bit, on a case by case basis of course.
What a fantastic choice,great reaction. Hearts cover of the LED Zeppelin song The Battle of Evermore live,shows both sisters musical and vocal talents.Just can't think of another song being this good,Hell LED Zeppelin and Heart...can't miss. Have a great day,and thank you
Heart always brings it! The epitome of female rockers. Sensual yet hard. Great song and great delivery. Thanks for bringing it and thanks for the (as always) great reaction.😁
In this line-up of Heart, they actually had three people who played guitar. One of them also played keyboards. Roger Fisher was the lead electric guitar.
HEY, Happy Birthday Jay! This song > Heart are the masters of funk. So masterful, you wouldn't think it's funk. But if you listen very carefully, you'll hear it. Then you'll see how magically they hid it. Unifying the word content of the song, MAGIC, with the structure of the song. Masters.
Finally!! I've been after you guys for months to listen to this song. But I'm glad you waited till your birthday, Jay. Happy Birthday! For me this is a song I never get tired of hearing, like The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, Black Sabbath's War Pigs, and Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4. For your next Heart song, I recommend Even It Up or Heartless.
If I heard correctly, you said today was your birthday. April 22, 1957, is my birth day! Happy Birthday! And yeah, Heart rocks! Have every album in cd format they've ever recorded.
Notice how the bass guitar and the kick drum are together on the downbeat at the beginning of the verse and then when it hits that "try to understand" part, the bass and kick switch to the offbeat to give it that funky or staggered feeling and then right back together on the downbeat when it resumes. It does that in general in the second half of the verse and then it's even further syncopated in the chorus. As someone below said, quite a sophisticated arrangement. Oh yeah, and in that section that you called trippy, Jordan, I love the whole idea of including that. Suddenly It's kind of this mix of funk and rock and soul, the thwacking rhythm guitar still has that bite, you still have the synth in there, and now they have added a layer of conga drumming. Congas, not bongos which are the little shallow higher sounding hand drums joined together in a pair, but congas are the deeper more resonant tall drums, usually grouped two or three together. It's a really wonderful combination and it allows you to groove and regroup before they punch home the climax. Probably my favorite on the album is the combination of Dreamboat Annie Fantasy Child (as opposed to Dreamboat Annie, the last song on side A of the record or Dreamboat Annie the name of the album, lol) leading right into their huge hit Crazy On You. When you listen to the album, that first part is about a minute long acoustic introduction to Crazy On You, and I really I miss hearing that when they only play Crazy On You on the radio. Sometimes they will play both together but on the album, you're listening to this absolutely beautiful acoustic introduction and then it goes right into Crazy on You. It's the perfect setup. I can remember when I first learned to play that acoustic riff in high school, it felt great. It's just so fun to play, it's got a lot of hammering on and pulling off and harmonics and stuff. And it leads so perfectly into the opening of Crazy On You. Here is a link to the two of them combined, total about 6 minutes long. m.ua-cam.com/video/hQS39ip7pUY/v-deo.html My cousin grew up just east of Seattle and apparently the Wilson sisters were a couple years older than him from his same high school and he was a big fan and he's also a really good guitar player. But once we were talking about Heart and he said that he was at school and it was about to be lunch break and the word went around to hurry up and get to the gymnasium because Ann and Nancy had showed up and they were jamming together over the lunch hour. I wish I could have been there! This was my sister's theme song for a little while while she was a teen, she used to blast it. I didn't mind because I owned the entire album and played it frequently.
The awesome ballad on this same debut album was "(If You Love Me Like Music) I'll Be Your Song". Just stunning how talented they were, and how they can make me feel the feels.
Happy birthday! The greatness of this era of music was that it took you on a journey from beginning to end. If you were not familiar with the music and just came in the in the background or in the middle of the song you wouldn’t understand the greatness of the song. But when you hear from beginning to end especially with headphones on, every note works together to take you on a trip.
I mashed the LIKE button as soon as I saw the title. So glad y'all picked this one! This was the very first Heart song I ever heard (when I was a small, impressionable child) & it instantly made me a lifelong fan of the Wilson sisters.
Happy Birthday J!!! Listen man, someday your girls are going to meet a "magic man" they can't resist. Just make sure they know what true unconditional love from a man, their dad, truly means before they do, and they will know they can always come on home to you. ❤️
Heart put in themselves out there everytime! And to do it so early in the 70’s! They were the best female rock sound since Janice! They were always on the radio growing up in the 60’s and 70’s! Ann still sounds amazing! And Nancy’s guitar is soooo underrated!
This song takes me back, I was in the parking lot at a roller rink, listening to the radio and when this song came up, I turned up the volume. I can still remember it, like it was yesterday. Miss those days
Cool to see you all doing more Heart. This is of course one of their great classic songs. Up there with Barracuda. I agree you should do These Dreams for your next Heart song. Get to hear some of Nancy's voice.
Heart is one of my favorite female bands . I saw them live in the 80's, they were the back up band for ELO. Their encore song was Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin cover) and they killed it.
I was the first one in my city to own a Heart Album. I was at the record shop when they unpacked it and put it on the turntable. After the first three notes I said, I’m buying it now.
first time I heard this as a child/preteen...I was so amazed by them...that women could rock. Been a fan ever since. Written for their drummer at the time Roger Fisher who was dating Ann.
Nope. Ann was with Mike Fisher who became their manager. Nancy was with his brother guitarist Roger Fisher. Mike Derosiers was the drummer who Nancy had an affair with which destroyed Roger Fisher.
I've always loved the percussion in the instrumental middle part of this song! Thanks for picking the album version of this song! There's a criminally edited version floating around that some reactors chose to react to.
One of THE most solid bass and drum lines ever laid down. I never appreciated Heart nearly enough when I was young, though I am a longtime fan. It's never too late I suppose, but I missed out on a lot of enjoyment.
I'd hear these awesome ladies almost every day on the radio, and took them for granted back in the day (I'm 61). There was so much good music back then that it was sometimes hard to choose faves. 45+ years later I sure appreciate what amazing talent the Wilson sisters had and still have. Number one female rockers IMO. More Heart reactions please 🧡
Nancy iis playing the acoustic guitar throughout this tune you can hear the big strums that kind of Shimmer on their way into the chorus. At this point they had to leave gataris in the band as well, so that is where the heavier stuff is coming from in the solos. I believe one of the guitarist doubled on keyboards as needed. You guys had a really great reaction to the band Jethro Tull quite a while ago, you might be interested to know that tall was a huge influence on early heart. There are many interesting kind of Celtic in acoustic fairytale feeling songs on this particular record as well. Kind of the deep Cuts as it were. Good stuff.
Amber, melt away moment. That’s an excellent description. You guys are really getting it now. Now, if I could just get you guys to trust me one time. Ha Ha!
Lyric background. Ann was in her late teens and her boyfriend was a Vietnam War draft dodger who ran from Seattle to just across the border to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her mom wanted her to come home but Ann's boyfriend was a magic man with magic hands.
Great exhibition of talent from every member of HEART on this song. From the melody to the soloing, it's probably their bestest overall effort. SING CHILD SING is similar in that everybody takes solos (especially the drummer) but it's a completely silly-ass tune and weird on purpose.
I was blessed to see Heart with Eddy Money in the 80's and then about five years ago I saw them at our state fair, They are just as amazing today as they were in the 80's.❤❤
Magic Man was the first hit off their first album. It was recorded at Mushroom Studio in Vancouver (Canada) when the band was still living there. The magic part of the rich sound was a Universal Audio vacuum tube mixing console custom-built by Bill Putnam. This recording console had been in use in United Studio A at 6050 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood since 1957, and had recorded hundreds of hits by such artists as Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles. Once in Vancouver it was to go-to studio for local artists like Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Loverboy, Sarah McLachlan, Images in Vogue and Queensryche.
This is with the complete HEART band, and the combination of the Wilson Sisters and Fisher Brothers know no peers. The entire Dreamboat Annie album is as great as this Track-1 song. Do yourself a treat and buy a copy.
This was the very first Heart song I ever heard on the radio and it started me down the path of loving the Wilson's forever. I even had a crush on Ann back then. For my money she has the best voice ever.
Yeah, if you want to hear both sisters sing, you have to do “Dog and Butterfly”, it’s a ballad, the softer side of Heart, but oh my, it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard!
The whole album is amazing!!
"Dog and Butterfly" is a favorite of mine, too. "Dreamboat Annie" is as well.
the live acoustic version is even better
I think they both sang doing Battle of evermore
Yes please please dog and butterfly, keep asking these reactors but no one does this banger from the sisters
The lead guitarist is Roger Fisher, whose brother Mike is the "Magic Man" that Ann is singing about. Dreamboat Annie is one of the best debut albums ever. My next pick for a reaction is also from that album: "How Deep It Goes."
I love that song! Great choice.
Incomparable lol yeah ok 🤦♂️
Nancy usually plays acoustic guitar but Heart had excellent guitar players, for sure!
Roger Fisher a beast on guitar 🎸
Bingo. I was trying to remember Roger's name. lol tanks.
I'm a professional musician and it's my opinion that Anne is the best female rock vocalist ever. There are others that are equally good but when it comes to rock and her exquisite control she really has no equal.
The talented Wilson sisters get most of the credit, but the men in the original lineup were also factors in the band's success. Super talented group.
Early Heart has a very different sound that was lost in later works. Much because of the loss of those men from the writing process.
@@Chrisrob90406 Agreed. I think the later Heart was just as good, but different. For sure, the guitar riffs in the early stuff were amazing and hit like a hammer, where in the later music, the sound was more mellow, but Ann's voice got so much fuller. All of it was great.

@Magic Mike this is a top tier comment 👏
Leese, Fisher, Derosier, best days!
Great reaction guys! Yup! Heart in my humble opinion is TOP for female rock. I'm surprised you haven't done "Crazy On you" yet. I think Jay is going to LOVE that opening riff.
OH ya - Crazy on You is freakin' amazing. And Amber will love the lyrics. Both of you will love the lyrics and the music. In my humble opinion, its better than Magic Man.
My very favorite from them.
Not just the opening riff...
The whole thing is VERY cool.
And Jordan & Amber will both have some great lyrics to absorb.
They did Crazy On You 8 months ago.
I think Crazy On You was the first Heart song they reacted to.

"If Looks Could Kill" is a major league banger from Heart that's the ultimate warning about the perils of adultery.

That’s Roger Fisher on lead guitar
And Howard Leese
Nancy plays the acoustic rhythm guitar
This was recorded in Vancouver
In 1975
And this was just their Debut album!!! Heart jumped onto the scene with both feet and made shock waves! Great Rock n Roll presence!!!

Never cared for Heart back in the day. But ever since I have been watching all the various reactions over the past year. I absolutely love Heart! I'm 62, Was a hard rocker back then. The Barracuda video, I can't get enough of. By the way, Happy Birthday Jay! We love you two!!!!
@@rileyroo2381 👍👌
Uh-huh. Guess y'all finally realized WOMEN ROCK. 🖤🤘🤘
@@honorsilverthorne7227 I loved Pat Benatar. Rindy Ross of Quarter Flash and others. Heart just wasn't up there on my list!
Ann is in my top 5 female vocals regardless of genre. She has it all.
This is the song that introduced Heart to the world...their first single...I was hooked the second I heard it...think it was 1975...
Happy Birthday, Jay!!!
This song is not so much a girl leaving home for a boy, but is more about a young girl being infatuated with an older man who is gently coaxing her into a seduction. - "Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
It's my favorite Heart song!
So it's basically a song about a pedo?😂
I was blown away watching some of their live performances. Crazy strong voice, with an incredible presence on stage. Plus, I love watching Nancy playing.
I NOTICE THERE IS NO 80s kids trying to kid nap tis song lol
Also. "Little Queen" by Heart. The break, the harmonies, the instrumentals.. DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN
Heart is the benchmark by which all female-led rock groups should be judged, as well as a solid benchmark by which *any* rock group should be judged. Artistry, talent, skill, and stage presence are all on the top tier.
I was in 16 when this album was released in the US, it was released a year earlier in Canada, on Friday's our art teacher allowed us to bring an album in while we did our art projects...as soon as Carrie put this on the turntable, I was hooked, been a fan ever since, Rock ON!!
Happy birthday, Jay!
Yes! Heart! More Heart! Definitely check out Never, These Dreams, Barracuda and Crazy on You. Ann and Nancy are so very good and in These Dreams you'll get to hear Nancy take lead vocals.
'A son is a son 'til he gets him a wife, but a daughter's a daughter for the rest of her life'
As a father of daughters, I kind of agree with Jay. Not that they have to stay but I want them to know they can always come back. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Heck I have NEICES I've welcomed back a number of times,, LOL Just here when they need a place to land. My daughters, thank goodness, have been strong enough and stable enough, they haven't needed to.
@@garyarnett1220 love this so much. I've had a niece live with us too. The world is beautiful and trying. I want all the kids to be able to explore it with a bit of security. Also it's not bad for them if they have to scratch and scramble a bit, on a case by case basis of course.
What a fantastic choice,great reaction. Hearts cover of the LED Zeppelin song The Battle of Evermore live,shows both sisters musical and vocal talents.Just can't think of another song being this good,Hell LED Zeppelin and Heart...can't miss. Have a great day,and thank you
Heart always brings it! The epitome of female rockers. Sensual yet hard. Great song and great delivery. Thanks for bringing it and thanks for the (as always) great reaction.😁
Yea, my husband had a big ole crush on them 😀back in the day
In this line-up of Heart, they actually had three people who played guitar. One of them also played keyboards. Roger Fisher was the lead electric guitar.
The Bass, the bass is so up front and center. Let’s everything and everyone else dance around it. Perfection!
Happy Birthday! It's my birthday today, too! Born in 1966. So I love the reviews of the oldies, of course, but love all the reviews. Keep it up!
HEY, Happy Birthday Jay!
This song > Heart are the masters of funk. So masterful, you wouldn't think it's funk. But if you listen very carefully, you'll hear it. Then you'll see how magically they hid it. Unifying the word content of the song, MAGIC, with the structure of the song. Masters.
I was just thinking that as I listened to this reaction video.
Best female rock band, hands down, is HEART. Both sisters are genius!! Thank you for reacting to this !
Finally!! I've been after you guys for months to listen to this song. But I'm glad you waited till your birthday, Jay. Happy Birthday! For me this is a song I never get tired of hearing, like The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, Black Sabbath's War Pigs, and Chicago's 25
or 6 to 4. For your next Heart song, I recommend Even It Up or Heartless.
From the first time I heard them until now and always no one can beat Ann and Nancy in my opinion I just love their voices and the band is incredible,
I just heard a so called 80s Synthes in 1976 LOL
If I heard correctly, you said today was your birthday. April 22, 1957, is my birth day! Happy Birthday! And yeah, Heart rocks! Have every album in cd format they've ever recorded.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 😃😃
I would say they are the Lead Zeppelin of female led rock groups, Heart is honestly a hall of fame rock band regardless
You gotta do " These Dreams"...it gives Nancy on lead and her amazing vocals
Live from Seattle 2002, it’s brilliant.
And written by Bernie Taupin. I love this song.
You two are top notch. Smart, charming, no fakery...enjoy watching.
"Dreamboat Annie" is a total classic! Lots of timeless cuts on that album
Notice how the bass guitar and the kick drum are together on the downbeat at the beginning of the verse and then when it hits that "try to understand" part, the bass and kick switch to the offbeat to give it that funky or staggered feeling and then right back together on the downbeat when it resumes. It does that in general in the second half of the verse and then it's even further syncopated in the chorus. As someone below said, quite a sophisticated arrangement.
Oh yeah, and in that section that you called trippy, Jordan, I love the whole idea of including that. Suddenly It's kind of this mix of funk and rock and soul, the thwacking rhythm guitar still has that bite, you still have the synth in there, and now they have added a layer of conga drumming. Congas, not bongos which are the little shallow higher sounding hand drums joined together in a pair, but congas are the deeper more resonant tall drums, usually grouped two or three together. It's a really wonderful combination and it allows you to groove and regroup before they punch home the climax.
Probably my favorite on the album is the combination of Dreamboat Annie Fantasy Child (as opposed to Dreamboat Annie, the last song on side A of the record or Dreamboat Annie the name of the album, lol) leading right into their huge hit Crazy On You. When you listen to the album, that first part is about a minute long acoustic introduction to Crazy On You, and I really I miss hearing that when they only play Crazy On You on the radio. Sometimes they will play both together but on the album, you're listening to this absolutely beautiful acoustic introduction and then it goes right into Crazy on You. It's the perfect setup. I can remember when I first learned to play that acoustic riff in high school, it felt great. It's just so fun to play, it's got a lot of hammering on and pulling off and harmonics and stuff. And it leads so perfectly into the opening of Crazy On You. Here is a link to the two of them combined, total about 6 minutes long.

My cousin grew up just east of Seattle and apparently the Wilson sisters were a couple years older than him from his same high school and he was a big fan and he's also a really good guitar player. But once we were talking about Heart and he said that he was at school and it was about to be lunch break and the word went around to hurry up and get to the gymnasium because Ann and Nancy had showed up and they were jamming together over the lunch hour. I wish I could have been there!
This was my sister's theme song for a little while while she was a teen, she used to blast it. I didn't mind because I owned the entire album and played it frequently.
The awesome ballad on this same debut album was "(If You Love Me Like Music) I'll Be Your Song". Just stunning how talented they were, and how they can make me feel the feels.
I LOVE that track!!! The entire album is a masterpiece!
One of my favorites!
...ain't it good to know you gotta place to go where the melodies fiiiine...
this ENTIRE album is just incredible. 5 star. their first one, and it put them on the map very quickly.
Happy birthday! The greatness of this era of music was that it took you on a journey from beginning to end. If you were not familiar with the music and just came in the in the background or in the middle of the song you wouldn’t understand the greatness of the song. But when you hear from beginning to end especially with headphones on, every note works together to take you on a trip.
HAPPY B-DAY, JAY!! 😃.....if you like Ann Wilson's voice, her sister has amazing vocals on "These Dreams".
Heart's "Dreamboat Annie" is one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. Period.
Agreed!!
I mashed the LIKE button as soon as I saw the title. So glad y'all picked this one! This was the very first Heart song I ever heard (when I was a small, impressionable child) & it instantly made me a lifelong fan of the Wilson sisters.
Happy birthday! I’ve been a fan of Heart since the beginning, Ann’s voice is still amazing and Nancy is still an amazing guitar player. ❤️
Jay,I think that's cute you actually believe what you just said about your girls! How do you think Amber's dad felt about YOU?
Happy Birthday J!!! Listen man, someday your girls are going to meet a "magic man" they can't resist. Just make sure they know what true unconditional love from a man, their dad, truly means before they do, and they will know they can always come on home to you. ❤️
Heart put in themselves out there everytime! And to do it so early in the 70’s! They were the best female rock sound since Janice! They were always on the radio growing up in the 60’s and 70’s! Ann still sounds amazing! And Nancy’s guitar is soooo underrated!
This song takes me back, I was in the parking lot at a roller rink, listening to the radio and when this song came up, I turned up the volume. I can still remember it, like it was yesterday. Miss those days
They have so many great songs...Love Alive, Mistral Wind, Dog and Butterfly, Rockin Heaven Down, Little Queen, Heartless....soooo many
It's like Hotel California...you stop singing along for a moment and just sit...enjoy...then get to it again...
Cool to see you all doing more Heart. This is of course one of their great classic songs. Up there with Barracuda. I agree you should do These Dreams for your next Heart song. Get to hear some of Nancy's voice.
Ann is my number 1 female rock voice since the 70's. Seen them every decade since.
I forgot how iconic this song is.
So were the 70s
Heart is one of my favorite female bands . I saw them live in the 80's, they were the back up band for ELO. Their encore song was Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin cover) and they killed it.
Another mesmerizing rock anthem from the Wilson Sisters.
I was the first one in my city to own a Heart Album. I was at the record shop when they unpacked it and put it on the turntable. After the first three notes I said, I’m buying it now.
first time I heard this as a child/preteen...I was so amazed by them...that women could rock. Been a fan ever since. Written for their drummer at the time Roger Fisher who was dating Ann.
Nope. Ann was with Mike Fisher who became their manager. Nancy was with his brother guitarist Roger Fisher. Mike Derosiers was the drummer who Nancy had an affair with which destroyed Roger Fisher.
@@BobSoltis1 yep, you are right. I got it backwards
@@darcythmpsn1 Easy to do. Two sisters and two brothers - a recipe for confusion and disaster.
The sister harmony of “Straight On” is beautiful.
That shift at 5:48 when the chanting vocals come in is one of the greatest moments in rock history.
I've always loved the percussion in the instrumental middle part of this song!
Thanks for picking the album version of this song! There's a criminally edited version floating around that some reactors chose to react to.
One of THE most solid bass and drum lines ever laid down. I never appreciated Heart nearly enough when I was young, though I am a longtime fan. It's never too late I suppose, but I missed out on a lot of enjoyment.
Ann's voice is nothing short of fantastic, she is the benchmark. This song has the smell of leather and taste of fine whiskey
Her voice...the music..perfection.
I'd hear these awesome ladies almost every day on the radio, and took them for granted back in the day (I'm 61). There was so much good music back then that it was sometimes hard to choose faves. 45+ years later I sure appreciate what amazing talent the Wilson sisters had and still have. Number one female rockers IMO. More Heart reactions please 🧡
Nancy iis playing the acoustic guitar throughout this tune you can hear the big strums that kind of Shimmer on their way into the chorus. At this point they had to leave gataris in the band as well, so that is where the heavier stuff is coming from in the solos. I believe one of the guitarist doubled on keyboards as needed. You guys had a really great reaction to the band Jethro Tull quite a while ago, you might be interested to know that tall was a huge influence on early heart. There are many interesting kind of Celtic in acoustic fairytale feeling songs on this particular record as well. Kind of the deep Cuts as it were. Good stuff.
Amber, melt away moment.
That’s an excellent description.
You guys are really getting it now.
Now, if I could just get you guys to trust me one time. Ha Ha!
I've seen Heart 2ce. They rock out like no one else. They are still rockin. That says it all.
Oh me and this album... we were best friends... played over and over on my little "stereo" record player!
Lyric background. Ann was in her late teens and her boyfriend was a Vietnam War draft dodger who ran from Seattle to just across the border to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her mom wanted her to come home but Ann's boyfriend was a magic man with magic hands.
Thanks guys! For me Heart is not only the best female-based rock band by a mile. One of the greatest rock bands male or female.
Great exhibition of talent from every member of HEART on this song. From the melody to the soloing, it's probably their bestest overall effort. SING CHILD SING is similar in that everybody takes solos (especially the drummer) but it's a completely silly-ass tune and weird on purpose.
I saw Heart in 1985 and they kicked butt!! Ann has an Awesome voice. Seeing and listening to her live is another level of Awesomeness.
I was blessed to see Heart with Eddy Money in the 80's and then about five years ago I saw them at our state fair, They are just as amazing today as they were in the 80's.❤❤
Same as the 70s like MAJIC MAN I liked both better in the 70s
Magic Man was the first hit off their first album. It was recorded at Mushroom Studio in Vancouver (Canada) when the band was still living there. The magic part of the rich sound was a Universal Audio vacuum tube mixing console custom-built by Bill Putnam. This recording console had been in use in United Studio A at 6050 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood since 1957, and had recorded hundreds of hits by such artists as Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles. Once in Vancouver it was to go-to studio for local artists like Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Loverboy, Sarah McLachlan, Images in Vogue and Queensryche.
This is with the complete HEART band, and the combination of the Wilson Sisters and Fisher Brothers know no peers. The entire Dreamboat Annie album is as great as this Track-1 song. Do yourself a treat and buy a copy.
This was the very first Heart song I ever heard on the radio and it started me down the path of loving the Wilson's forever. I even had a crush on Ann back then. For my money she has the best voice ever.
Her voice is the epitome of rock ! ❤️ u guys!
I always loved their vocal towards the end they sound like two beautiful witches that you'd want to play inside the Munson Moon with. ❤
