From Amazon.com
After futzing around Seattle and Vancouver for a few years, Heart finally secured a record deal in 1976. It wasn't with Epic or Capitol (which they would later sign with), but with a tiny Canadian label called Mushroom. The resulting album, IDreamboat Annie/I, was an impressive hard rock debut. "Crazy on You," which spotlighted the piercing vocals of singer Ann Wilson and the chunky guitar bluster of her sister Nancy, entered the top 40, and the more mystical "Magic Man" climbed to No. 9. IDreamboat Annie/I also exposed a more vulnerable side of the band: the title track, for example, was an easy listening, harmony-laden folk song replete with banjo plucks. i--Jon Wiederhorn/i

classic rock and beautiful vocals December 7, 1999

I first heard Heart back in the seventies, and this album was their finest. A classic mixture of powerful, soaring female vocals and guitar-led rock, with the occasional acoustic interlude, the whole thing hangs together beautifully. If this music doesn't make you feel something, get a medical check-up pronto !!!

Dreamboat Annie (1976.) Heart's first album. pIn the mid seventies, two sisters named Ann and Nancy Wilson joined an all-male group that had previously gone under the name Army and White Heart. Although they had joined an all-male group, they quickly became the dominant members of the band. The band name was changed to Heart, and they eventually got a record deal - but it was on a little-known Canadian label known as Mushroom. The band's debut release, Dreamboat Annie, was released in 1976. How would this album fare in a world in which rock and roll was mostly considered a male-oriented genre? Read on for my review. pTo put it simply, this is an excellent album. Although only ten tracks and forty mintues long, the album covers a lot of musical ground. The band manages to combine the classic hard rock stylings of the day with softer, more folk-oriented ones. This makes for a listening experience that is pleasing from start to finish. The first two big hits that the band scored, Crazy On You and Magic Man, can be found on this LP. But, as with most bands, there are many equally-good songs that aren't as popular. A good example of this is the bluesy rocker, White Lightning And Wine. One of the really good soft tracks the album has to offer is the sorely-underrated Soul Of The Sea. But the true attraction here would have to be the title track. Dreamboat Annie (the song) is divided into three, non-continuous parts which follow the same basic formula but throw in just enough new elements to keep things fresh. Many people call this album an essential rock classic, and why not? It rocks! pThere is only one version of this CD readily available in America (as of September 11, 2004), and that's the original CD release. Since I don't really have any production quality issues, I don't really think there's a need for reissues of the band's material, at least not yet. pWhoever says women can't rock has obviously never listened to Heart. Their 1976 debut is one of their most popular albums, and one of their best ones, as well. If you're a fan of the band, or just of classic rock in general, this is one of those albums you really can't go wrong with.

AS SOON AS I HEARD THIS ALBUM BACK IN THE 70'S WHEN IT WAS RELEASED I KNEW I WOULD BE A LIFE LONG FAN OF THEIRS.brIT HAS AN EXCELLENT COMPILATION OF ROCK, BLUES AND BALLARDS THE WILSON SISTERS ARE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH. WELL WORTH THE BUY.....A VINTAGE ALBUM OF EXCELLENT CALIBRE
One of the true greats February 28, 2009

All of Heart's first four studio albums are absolute classics. Folk, Rock and Blues combined to create an unforgettable experience. Dreamboat Annie, their amazing debut, featuring live favorites like 'Magic Man,' 'Crazy on You,' and 'White Lighting and Wine,' is one of the finest rock albums ever released.
br /As with all early Heart albums, the mixture of female vocals with fantasy lyrics and biting hard rock is impressive, memorable and undeniably fun.
br /There is no real filler on the disc, with the three versions of Title Track and the proggy 'Soul of the Sea,' showing off the band's impressive musical chops and songs like 'Sing Child Sing,' exploring the heavy Rock that made Heart such a force to be reckoned with, you can't really go wrong here.
br /A highly recommended album, in fact its a lot of Heart Fan's hands down favorite.

I was not even born when this abbum was 1st released, but I was bought up on 80's rock which to my mind was when Heart were at there best, this album on the other hand represents the best of what they achieved prior to the Heart "Heart" re-launch, If you already know that you like or even love them then you wont be dissapointed with this, however don't buy it as your 1st taste of Heart as the self titled album "Heart" is by far and away the best place to start.
