Editorial Reviews

"Crammed with tons of previously unseen images, Heart: In the Studio lives up to its title . . . it lends a greater understanding of the inner workings of a successful rock & roll outfit."  —FMQB Magazine

"Puts the emphasis where it belongs—on Ann Wilson's voice."  —The Oregonian

"Pushed along with extensive quotes from most of the key players, alternating with a mixed bag of facts, figures, tidbits and whatnot, [this book] is the most authoritative tome out there on Heart."  —Vintagerock.com
