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 bestselling 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
interband 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.
