15 December 2023 - Heart - Barracuda

One of my best friends in high school was a woman named Heather.  We don't talk as much as we used to (and in fact, I really should check and see how she's doing because it's been a couple of years), but I still think of our friendship.

A lot of it was rooted in music.  Her favorite artist back then was Heart, a group I didn't fully appreciate becuase, well, I first heard them with "What About Love", which wasn't really classic Heart.  Because of her, I know now of older Heart.

This song, which peaked at #11 on the pop charts, was from Heart's 3rd album, Little Queen, and was written by the band.  The song was produced by Mike Flicker, who is best known for his work with Heart.  It also happens to be one of my favorite songs of theirs.  


Heart is still together, a half century after they started - with the Wilson sisters as the only original members. In 2013, the whole band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and played with a band that included other Seattle legends, like Chris Cornell (who gave the induction speech) and Jerry Cantrell.  This was the first time in three decades that the original lineup was all together on one stage.
