Little Queen by Heart
Little Queen is an album by Heart, released in 1977. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 19 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love Alive”, on 8 lists with a best position of #304.
Little Queen, Heart's third album, came out on Portrait in May 1977, cut and mixed at Kaye-Smith Studios in Seattle between February and April with Mike Flicker producing. By now the lineup had settled: Ann Wilson singing and playing flute, her sister Nancy on guitar and vocals, Roger Fisher and Howard Leese on guitars, Steve Fossen on bass and Michael Derosier on drums.
It's the record where Heart's two sides meet head-on. One minute Ann is wailing over Fisher's gnarled, snarling riffs like a hard rock banshee, the next the band is down to acoustic guitars and mandolins, spinning out folk-rock reveries with a mystic streak. "Kick It Out" is all boogie and bravado; "Love Alive" floats on strummed strings and harmony. A remastered edition with two bonus tracks arrived on Epic and Legacy on June 29, 2004.
