Count Ann Wilson among the classic rock stars who believe technology’s impact on the music industry has taken a turn for the worse. During a conversation with Trib Live, the Heart singer declared that the industry is “unrecognizable” compared to when her band got started, noting that streaming and algorithms have shifted the power dynamic. “It doesn’t seem like it’s in the hands of humans these days,” Wilson opined. “I feel like it’s more or less been given to the computers to compartmentalize and pick apart all the music and decide which genre they’re part of and then to stick them in that li...

The request, he explained, was to have Heart’s original 1975 lineup back together for the show. According to Frey, Ann was on board with the idea, even suggesting that a document...

Count Heart singer Ann Wilson among the classic rockers who find it distracting when concertgoers have their cell phones out during shows. During an appearance on the Broken Record podcast, the frontwoman was asked how seeing cell phones in the crowd affects her performance. “It does change things,” Wilson admitted, “especially when [fans] come up to the front of the stage and they turn around so that you’re in the backdrop and they want to take a selfie with you as a background. I mean, that’s really distracting, because you just want to sort of jump out of the way.” READ MORE: Ann Wilson Say...

Ann Wilson has looked back on the demise of Heart’s original lineup, noting the group was doomed by “emotional hardship.” “It’s hard to describe what it was like when that lineup disbanded,” Wilson explained during an appearance on the Broken Record podcast. “We couldn’t get along anymore and things got really difficult between us.” Though the band had cycled through several musicians in its early years, they settled on a lineup in 1973 around the same time they adopted the name Heart.

Heart scored a bevy of hits in the ‘80s, yet Nancy Wilson believes one of their biggest successes “never felt like a Heart song.” During the ‘80s, Heart was routinely working with outside writers. The process yielded strong results, but it was also tedious. “We gave a lot of songs a good try,” Wilson noted during an appearance on the Broken Record podcast, recalling how she’d spend hours listening to demo cassettes. “There were some real turkeys. A lot of really bombastic ballads… You know, like a bunch of very righteous sounding marching songs. Either marching rock songs or bombastic ballads ...

Heart has enjoyed a longer career spanning multiple decades, but the band has definitely had to evolve along the way. During an appearance on the Broken Record podcast, Nancy Wilson noted the challenges her group faced going from the ‘70s to the ‘80s. “We were kind of victims of longevity in a certain way because the styles change and you want to not change that much,” the guitarist explained, noting that the “mind-expanded perspective” which permeated during the ‘70s gave way to the “cocaine perspective, which was a little more money and ego driven.” Following mainstream success in the ‘70s, ...

Nancy Wilson has looked back on the early days of Heart, admitting her band was “so jealous” of Fleetwood Mac. During an appearance on the Broken Record podcast, Wilson recalled watching Fleetwood Mac’s monumental success in the ‘70s. “They were happening right before us, kind of as Heart was just starting to tiptoe into the scene, and they already had Rumours out there,” the guitarist remembered. “We were just trying so hard to make an album and get out there and get a tour or whatever, and they were all over the radio.” As Wilson explained, her envy wasn’t just about commercial success.
