Ann on 97.1 Charlie Radio in Portland
She got her start singing Led Zeppelin songs in dirty Seattle bars with her sister backing her up on guitar. Then, before they knew it, Ann and Nancy Wilson were superstars. Heart, famous for songs like Barracuda, Crazy On You, Little Queen and a dozen more, has just released a new CD, Red Velvet Car. Ann Wilson took time to talk to Charlie Horse and I about the project. Of course we also talked about aliens. So, you know, it was a pretty normal conversation.

Heart on NPR's World Cafe
Led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart is widely regarded as one of the great rock bands of all time. Now, after a six-year break and 34 years since its debut, the group is primed to make a return to the limelight with the new album, Red Velvet Car.
Heart cut its first LP, Dreamboat Annie, in 1976 and quickly became one of the biggest bands on the planet. It went on to sell more than 1 million copies with two hit singles, "Magic Man" (No. 9 on the 1976 Billboard charts) and "Crazy on You" (No. 35 on the 1976 Billboard charts).
Riding the momentum, Heart released its second album just one year later, 1977's Little Queen, and that, too, sold 1 million copies, fueled by arguably its biggest hit, "Barracuda." The Wilson sisters were bona fide rock stars, appearing on the cover of the July 1977 issue of Rolling Stone and becoming the subjects of countless boyhood crushes. In 1978, Heart went on to release two more platinum albums in Magazine and Dog and Butterfly, and despite the absence of founding member Roger Fisher, the group released its highest charting album in 1980, Bebe Le Strange.
Listen to the sisters' interview with World Cafe host David Dye and hear the band rock out on the World Cafe Live stage.
A little extra info for those interested. Judging by tour dates and Ann saying they had just played 3 shows in a row, this seems to have been taped on the 6th at the WXPN Stage in Philadelphia, PA. :)
And here we are. Full performances, interview and web bonuses split up track by track.

Nancy Interview with 89.3 KPCC-FM Los Angeles
The Wilson Sisters, Ann and Nancy, have just released their first new studio album in six years. Perhaps better known as Heart, the duo’s “Red Velvet Car” features nine new songs as they return to their hard rock/acoustic roots of the late 70s.
KPCC’s Hettie Lynne Hurtes talked with Nancy Wilson as they prepare for their concert here in L.A. this weekend. She talked about what inspired the title “Red Velvet Car.”
HEART will be at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal Studios Saturday night.

Vinyl 95.3: New Ann Interview
Listen to a nice radio interview with Ann, who is on the road in Canada :D
Pure Heart: Nancy Interview and Podcast
Click here to listen to the nearly 20 minute London Free Press podcast. GREAT Nancy interview. She is so full of life and so brilliant. I really enjoyed this ^_^
Heart’s Wilson sisters and their classy Red Velvet Car are nicely draped in Mink these days — Ben Mink, that is.
The Canadian producer teams with rock and roll’s dynamic duo, singer Ann Wilson and guitarist Nancy Wilson, and their bandmates on their new album Red Velvet Car (Eagle Rock). The tour supporting Red Velvet Car brings Heart to Harris Park this week for the seventh edition of Rock the Park.
“That is the Ben Mink effect,” Nancy Wilson said from Los Angeles recently, after hearing praise for the superb guitar textures and drives on Red Velvet Car. “He and his engineer-mixer David Leonard famously get incredible guitar sounds.”
Playing London for the first time in decades, Heart is on Saturday night’s bill with Lynyrd Skynyrd. The Southern U.S. rock band has not played London before, concert organizers say.
U.S. rock bands 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul top Thursday’s bill. Fest veteran Alice Cooper returns on Friday, when he’s joined by Peter Frampton and other performers.
Mink isn’t a member of Heart. He can be heard with Heart, along with U.S. roots music superstar Alison Krauss, as a guest on a DVD set for release as a complement to the Aug. 31-dropping Red Velvet Car.
Mink had worked with Ann Wilson on a solo project. He also checked out Heart and found a way to bring the rockers full-circle to a new take on their classic sound from the 1970s.
“When he imprinted our band, he saw that, he saw the same thing that we started out being, that acoustic nucleus inside a rock format, with — of course —Ann’s voice, which is signature,” Nancy Wilson said. “He went all the way there with that aspect of our sound which we thought was pretty genius.”
That genius plays out on Red Velvet Car with an assortment of strings including guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, fiddle, viola, cello and autoharp, all played by Nancy Wilson and Grammy-winning Mink.
Using B.C. as a base at first, Ann Wilson and her younger sister, Nancy, blasted off during the 1970s with songs such as Crazy On You, Magic Man and Barracuda.
Heart’s hits continued into the 1980s and into the 1990s with These Dreams, Alone, What About Love, If Looks Could Kill and Never among the 21 Top 40 markers for the band. Heart has sold more than 30 million records.
Mink is helping them sell more. Born in the U.S., but a Canadian since the late 1960s, Mink has worked with k.d. lang, Rush, Barenaked Ladies and others — all the way back to Murray McLauchlan’s Silver Tractors.
It’s another Canadian with a similar last name — Sarah McLachlan — who has been a key Heart ally as the band tours this summer with McLachlan’s Lilith Fair.
“Sarah McLachlan is one of the coolest influences on the culture, not just women’s culture, but the culture of human rights and awareness. We’re there for her,” Nancy Wilson said. Wilson said that Lilith Fair’s cancellation of some dates have made it a target for media attention, even though other tours are also dropping dates.
“There’s a negative spin on it. It’s easy to pick on the women,” Nancy Wilson said.
Rock and roll’s most famous sister act are ready to drive right through such spin. It helps to have such a strong vehicle in Red Velvet Car, the first new studio album in six years for Heart.
Nine of the album’s songs were written for the album. The closing track, Sand, is a beautiful new version of a song originally written and recorded by the Lovemongers, the sisters’ 1990’s acoustic side project.
Other standouts include Queen City, “a love letter” to Seattle music.
“It’s like the Liverpool of America in many ways,” Nancy Wilson said. “It’s a seaport town with big music talent. They’ve had a lot of people coming from there from Ray Charles to Jimi Hendrix, the Wailers, the Sonics … the grunge era was another wave of that.”
The strongest track is WTF, which translates as just what you expect when Ann Wilson is shouting it out. It combines wisdom from journals kept by the sisters’ late mother, Lois “Lou” Wilson, with a crunching riff from Heart guitarist Craig Bartock.
“That’s just one of the big rockers. We have a variety of grapes in our vineyard. We put out varietals (a wine term) as our songs, “ Nancy Wilson said. “That’s definitely the ‘hard rock variety’ song.”
After getting the full Mink customizing, WTF beats away as strongly as only Heart can.
“I think it sounds so extremely Heart as well, especially the pre-’80s version of Heart, the original sound of Heart, which could be really heavy rock with the acoustic rocking as hard as any electric in the sound,” she said. “That’s a little different from most rock and roll.”
IF YOU GO
What: Rock the Park 2010, an outdoor rock festival in downtown London. Like the first six editions of Rock the Park, this summer’s concert series is a fundraiser for Bethanys Hope Foundation. It helps pay for London- and UWO-based research into metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD, a devastating progressive neurodegenerative disease). The London foundation is named for Bethany Catherine McIntyre, who died in 2000, at the age of seven after a five-year struggle with MLD. London concert producer Brad Jones, a former foundation board member, suggested using rock concerts to raise money.
When: Thursday, Friday, gates open at 4 p.m., Saturday, gates open at 3:30 p.m.
Where: Harris Park
Lineups
Thursday: 3 Doors Down, Collective Soul, Thornley, Crash Karma
Friday: Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, Alannah Myles, Night Ranger

Nancy Interview - KSHE95 (w/Audio Clip)
HEART GEARING UP FOR SUMMER TOUR
6/28/2010
Heart will be barnstorming across North America this summer in support of their upcoming studio album Red Velvet Car and its accompanying live DVD, which will be released on August 31st. The band, featuring sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, will play five Lilith dates with Sarah McLachlan starting on July 5th in Mountain View, California at Shoreline Amphitheatre.
Nancy Wilson told us that Heart has always opted on being an active creative force -- rather than playing it safe by just being a touring nostalgia act: "Y'know you're really driven -- I think if you're an artistic soul, then you're driven to do your art; And if you only care money, then you're not. Then you're driven to only tour and do the old hits forever, y'know? I think we're pretty artistic about it. We're really happy to still be able to enjoy going out and playing live as well as be creative and be writers."
Here's a snippet of the new radio interview Nancy did with KSHE95 =)
