American rock n’ roll band Heart is no stranger to showcasing powerful and talented women guitar players. Front women, Ann and Nancy Wilson, have been paving the way for decades, dishing out Top 40 singles and earning numerous awards and Grammy nominations. In fact, throughout the 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, and 2010’s, Heart received Top 10 albums on the Billboard charts.
2012 has proven to be a busy and productive year for the band. Heart released a career-spanning box set in June titled Strange Euphoria, as well as their fourteenth studio album Fanatic, which hit stores October 2nd. In September, the Wilson sisters embarked on the world of publishing, producing an autobiography entitled, Kicking and Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul, and Rock and Roll. To mark their place in music history, the band also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month.
