dreamboat annie

The Wilson sisters dominated the airwaves after taking over this band formed by the Fisher brothers. Originally called the Army and then White Heart, the band was transformed when the sisters got romantically involved with the brothers in Vancouver. They recorded 'Dreamboat Annie' in 1975 on the Canadian Mushroom label; and, after selling more than thirty thousand copies in a few months, it was finally released in the states where it went platinum. The music is an engaging mix of folk and hard rock with progressive touches and beautiful ballads that changed the role of women in rock and established them as superstars.

'Magic Man' was a top ten hit and features a minimoog synthesizer solo.

"Never think of never..let this spell last forever"

'Crazy On You' explodes from acoustic to electric. It was their first single and made it to number thirty five.

"My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin

The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind

The whisper that calls after you in the night

And kisses your ear in the early moonlight

And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine

My love, the pleasure's mine"

'Dreamboat Annie' is one of three versions of the song on the album. This version was the third single which only made it to number forty-two on the pop chart; but hit number seventeen on the adult contemporary chart.

"Heading out this morning into the sun

Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one"
