Acerca de esta escucha

Two sisters. Two voices. One Heart.

The mystery of "Magic Man". The wicked riff of "Barracuda". The sadness and beauty of "Alone". The raw energy of "Crazy On You". These songs, and so many more, are part of the fabric of American music. Heart, fronted by Ann and Nancy Wilson, has given fans everywhere classic, raw, and pure badass rock and roll for more than three decades. As the only sisters in rock who write their own music and play their own instruments, Ann and Nancy have always stood apart - certainly from their male counterparts but also from their female peers. By refusing to let themselves and their music be defined by their gender, and by never allowing their sexuality to overshadow their talent, the Wilson sisters have made their mark, and in the process paved the way for many of today's female artists.

In Kicking and Dreaming, Ann and Nancy, with the help of critically acclaimed and best-selling music biographer Charles R. Cross, recount a journey that has taken them from a gypsy-like life as the children of a globe-trotting Marine to the frozen back roads of Vancouver, where they got their start as a band, to the pinnacle of success - and sometimes excess. In these pages, readers will learn the truth about the relationship that inspired "Magic Man" and "Crazy On You", the turmoil of inter-band romances gone awry, the reality of life on the road as single women and then as mothers of small children, and the thrill of performing and in some cases partying with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, Van Halen, Def Leppard, and other rock legends. It has not always been an easy path. Ann struggled with and triumphed over a childhood stutter, body image, and alcoholism; Nancy suffered the pain and disappointment of fertility issues and a failed marriage but ultimately found love again and happiness as a mom. Through it all, the sisters drew from the strength of a family bond that trumps everything else, as told in this intimate, honest, and uniquely female take on the rock and roll life.

Throughout their career, Ann and Nancy have never found an answer to the question they are most frequently asked: "What is it like to be a woman in rock and roll?" Kicking and Dreaming puts that question to bed, once and for all.

Wonderful autobiography

Loved the stories and hearing them directly from the band themselves. Hearing how humble and human these great rockstars are was truly a treat. The narration from Ann and Nancy is wonderful.

The Wilson Sisters, focused and brave !!

Excellent and inspiring. Ann & Nancy Wilson narrate simultaneously through the early journey of their music/artistic life. I loved Nancy's Joni Mitchel (searching for her home) story, so cute. Ann gives you her strength and resilience straight from her heart. Bravo !!!

Big fan of Heart. It was great to hear their story.

Heart is such an inspirational group. A group fronted by two sisters who love rock, have angelic voices and can rock as hard as any guy. I learned a lot about them that I didn’t know. Though they got their start in Canada they are actually American military brats. It was fascinating to hear how their unusual upbringing of moving around the world with their USMC dad’s career impacted their careers. Ann and Nancy narrate their parts of the book as well as other friends. It was really entertaining and great to hear their stories in their iconic voices.

I have a newfound RESPECT

this production is so well done absolutely loved it. after each explanation of how they wrote a song, I would pause this and go to YouTube play the music dance and then come back to the story again. Both of their voices are so comforting and soothing. Both singing and telling their life stories. Complex beautiful interesting humans. So much respect for Ann and Nancy Wilson.

Real life, honest and vulnerable

I was a Heart fan in the late 70s and 80s. I love that this book is not only read by Ann and Nancy Wilson but also shares the voices of their sister Lynn, they’re best friends Sue Ennis, and the voices of other band members.

Having been a fan I knew some of the basic outline of the story, but to hear them share the background and truth of their family and how they got into music, the challenges, the relationships, the reality of the music business, and their honest recall of their experiences with some famous people really was interesting.

Now that the book has ended I almost feel like I lost a couple of friends who were sharing their life story with me on a road trip!

I would recommend this book even if you are not a heart fan just because of the honesty and vulnerability of the topics they share. Such a courageous sharing!

Loved it.

Very cool to listen to how they were influenced, and the stories that shaped & molded them into who they would become. Fledgling musicians to rock n roll queens & unintentional influencers in their own rite. Each story & event like puzzle pieces laid out to show the unfinished picture that is Heart.
