Fanatic

About Fanatic

Fanatic is the fifteenth studio album by American rock band Heart, released October 2, 2012 through Legacy Recordings. The album was recorded in hotel rooms and studios up and down the West Coast, with Grammy-winning producer Ben Mink, who had previously produced Red Velvet Car (2010), back at the helm. Ann and Nancy Wilson drew from their own lives and personal experiences as inspiration for their music. "Dear Old America" comes from memories of a military household and is written from the point of view of their father, a Marine Corps officer, returning from war. "Rock Deep (Vancouver)" hearkens back to the city where Dreamboat Annie was written and "Walkin' Good" (a duet with Vancouver resident Sarah McLachlan) captures the joy of finding new life in a new love. Fanatic just missed the Top 10 of the US Rock Albums Chart, peaking at No 12. The album also peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 becoming Heart's 12th Top 25 album, selling around 16,000 copies in its first week. This album has no RIAA certification more »
