Blog Critics book review - Dog & Butterfly [ 11/10/2009 ]
br>Heart. If you're like me, the word evokes images of Ann and Nancy Wilson
on stage, rocking guitars, and vocals in such classic songs as
"Barracuda," "Love Alive," "Little Queen," "Alone," and on and on... For 30
years they've been entertaining us with their music, so we know they're
talented.
Now I know they have other talents, such as writing and illustrating childrens' books!

Blog Critics weigh in on Baby Guitars [ 11/10/2009 ]
Nancy Wilson is one of the two goddesses of the rock group Heart.
So why, may you ask, is she creating an album of tunes specifically
meant to help lull babies to sleep? Well, why not? She's a mom too!

Amazon Exclusives!! [ 10/9/2009 ]
We are pleased to announce an Amazon.com exclusive!! Baby Guitars, and Dog & Butterfly children's book.
click here to order (and get 10% off on Baby Guitars) http://www.amazon.com/Heart/e/B000APTHH2
Baby Guitars was composed by Nancy Wilson, a song at a time, after the birth of her twin sons. When the boys were still very small, she (along with Heart's guitarist, Craig Bartock, who also co-wrote the songs) recorded the album in her home recording studio. For years, the children went to sleep with the music playing in their bedroom.
The ten beautiful melodic compositions, and stunning guitar work, that comprise Baby Guitars are reminiscent of Nancy's scoring work (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Elizabethtown) and, in fact, two of the songs are on her Elizabethtown score soundtrack album, and one ("Sun on the Rug") was prominently featured in the Hillary Swank movie, "P.S. I Love You."
Until now, the only people who have heard the entire collection are family friends (like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn) who were gifted with home-burned copies to commemorate the birth of their children.
Now, for the first time, this set of original songs (which are as appealing to adults as to children) will be available to the public, exclusively through Amazon.com.

This year, we are commemorating the 30th anniversary of "Dog & Butterfly," the double platinum Heart album (and title song), with the release of a children's book, written by Ann and Nancy Wilson, that brings to life the story of the little dog whose tries to make friends with a butterfly, and the determination and perseverance that helped him reach that goal. The book is beautifully illustrated by Ann and Nancy, who also recorded a brand new version of the song which will be available exclusively through Amazon.com with the purchase of the book.
