"The barracudas are back and at thetop of their game." (Rolling Stone, September 2, 2010)

"Aggressive, Delicate and Enduring"(New York Times, August 4, 2010) "Red Velvet Car, to bereleased by Sony Music's Legacy Recordings, boasts an evolved soundthat doesn't pander to the iPod generation. The women of Heart havestrong stories to tell through the music." (The Virginian-Pilot,August 13, 2010) Like all Heart albums, Red VelvetCar rocks hard but also has a deep acoustic side. Nancy Wilsonhas long been known to play her acoustic guitar with rock ferocity.This time an abundance of resonant acoustic instruments (guitars,mandolin, dobro, banjo, fiddle, viola, cello, and autoharp), playedby Nancy Wilson and the album's producer, Ben Mink, are showcasedin Heart's unique style. Nine of the album's songs were writtenfor, and appear for the first time on Red Velvet Car.The album's closer, "Sand," is a newly recorded version ofa song originally written and recorded by the Lovemongers, Ann andNancy's 1990's acoustic side project. The release of Red VelvetCar heralds Legacy's forthcoming reissues of the classicHeart catalog in new physical and digital editions.

Heartcontinued topping the charts through the '80s and into the '90swith huge hits like "These Dreams," "Alone,""What About Love," "If Looks Could Kill,""Never," and a string of other hits that showcased thesisters' enormous talents as both musicians and singers.
