Info for Little Queen
Heart's sophomore effort, 1977's „Little Queen“, was another strong and classic release for the band, despite the fact that they were caught up in a nightmarish legal wrangle with their former record label (who issued the half-finished album „Magazine“ shortly after „Little Queen“, against the band's wishes).
The raging and venomous 'Barracuda' remains one of Heart's best rock tracks, while the gorgeous 'Love Alive' is an engaging acoustic number. With „Little Queen“, Heart solidified their standing as one of the late-'70s biggest hard rock acts, possessing the perfect mixture of good looks and great hooks.
„After acquiring a substantial following with Dreamboat Annie, Heart solidified its niche in the hard rock and arena rock worlds with the equally impressive Little Queen. Once again, loud-and-proud, Led Zeppelin-influenced hard rock was the thing that brought Heart the most attention. But while 'Barracuda' and 'Kick It Out' are the type of sweaty rockers one thought of first when Heart's name was mentioned, hard rock by no means dominates this album. In fact, much of Little Queen consists of such folk-influenced, acoustic-oriented fare as 'Treat Me Well' and 'Cry to Me.' Anyone doubting just how much Heart's ballads have changed over the years need only play 'Dream of the Archer' next to a high-volume power ballad like 'Wait for an Answer' from 1987's Bad Animals.“ (Alex Henderson, AMG)
