On the 5th of this month, Heart released a 3 CD, 1 DVD career-spanning box set, “Strange Euphoria.” And what a career it has been—one stretching over 4 decades. And, they are not done. For Heart fans craving new music, they’ve got an album coming out this fall, “Fanatic,” which they are supporting with an active tour schedule (we are disappointed they won’t be playing anywhere near us). Clearly, these are some very busy gals.. The new, multi-label box set features their biggest hits, some great live and previously unreleased demo tracks, as well as solo selections. Also included are several tracks from their early 90s stint with the acoustic group, The Lovemongers. We particularly love “Kiss” by The Lovemongers; it should be used in a David Lynch film if it hasn’t been already. But wait, there’s more: Nancy and Ann comment on each track in the included booklet. And if all that wasn’t enough, an additional 5-song CD with Led Zeppelin covers is included. See the complete track listings here. I remember in the mid-80s how transfixed I was by their style, and more specifically by the Wilson sisters’ hair. Really, they put the big in big hair. How they were able to achieve such feats of coif-tasticness? Imagine how thrilled I was to be able to put that exact question (among others) to these very awesome sisters of rock. Learn how to achieve 80s-era Heart hair as well as what Ann and Nancy are listening to now in our Q&A below.
