Today we'll hear from Ann, who is responsible for singing and co-writing some of Heart's most iconic early hits, like "Magic Man," "Barracuda" and "Crazy On You." Four years older than Nancy, Ann was the first Wilson sister to join Heart, a group that began as a cabaret cover band. Despite multiple line-up changes since the 1970s, Heart has released top 10 albums almost every decade for the past 50 years and has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.
Outside of Heart, Ann has also released solo material, including an album in 2023 with her band, Tripsitter.
In today's episode, Leah Rose talks to Ann Wilson about Heart's current world tour and the Elton John album she sings before every show to warm up her voice. Ann also explains how she strategically placed guitars around her house during house parties in Seattle in the '90s to encourage jam sessions with guests like Lane Staley and Chris Cornell. And she remembers singing on stage with Grace Slick and Stevie Nicks, who Ann says is a really good witch.

ABOUT THE LOW RECORD
For generations of music lovers, album liner notes were a central part of how music was listened to. You bought an album and it came with a story: a digression, an aside, a story – maybe even a made-up story. We intuitively understood that good music required not only listening, but also conversation between the artist and the audience, and between the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that reignites these conversations – in a world without liner notes – for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews with producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.
