Heart - Wait For The Answer

1987 - Bad Animals

[@andybeech4972]

More people should listen to this album

[@charleswagner2984]

Hearts best album. Up there with Yes, Rush, and Evanescence.

[@VCA72]

Ann Wilson - the best female voice in Rock history, one of the best voices ever on Rock period, male or female.

[@FairScale-tx1qv]

I totally agree. But I against the lesbian lifestyle.

[@tommysahlin]

Then you should hear the original, by Lisa Dalbello. She blows Ann Wilson out of the water.

[@SoshoreRN]

Amen

[@rztricky]

Ann. Because she’s got consistency…delivering massive tracks over time. No offense to the original writer. Who better to take it and light it on fire. Bad Animals, Want You So Bad, Alone. This was her talent Olympics where she came home with golds. And she punched them into truth. No teetering. She’s a giant and stands next to Aretha.

[@WalterTarantino-py5gs]

She isn't a lesbian. She was accused of being one with Nancy in the 70's. Ann was pissed and wrote barracuda. ​@FairScale-tx1qv

[@vicpinto1970]

Best cut on the album... IMHO.

[@MrRugbyloosehead]

Ann Wilson has one of truly great voices and it's even better live as her range really shows her wonderful powerful talent she is and it never is forced it's just beautiful!

[@diceytrust2768]

One of Ann's best vocal performances. This has, I think, 5 or 6 key changes and each one goes higher then the last. Excellent show of Ann's range.

[@saleconomos473]

Agree. Her stunning vocals here are crazy over the top. This, Bad Animals and RSVP were the three songs on the LP that went outside the bands traditional "hit/comfort" box. In their structure and dynamics those three songs gave me an eye-opener when I first played them on my Dino turn table.

[@Deborahtunes]

@@saleconomos473 ~ I really wished this had been released as a single. It's just an incredible showcase of Ann's vocal range. And you're right, it's definitely outside of what they normally did back then. It's a scary movie, and a rock song rolled into one. The suspense in the key changes keeps you hanging on, wanting to hear what happens next...🎶🎙️💜

[@inabind416]

@@tommysahlin Wow, you shocked my memory in to life! Dalbello, Dalbello …. I ran to my old cassette tape box and zeroed in on my 9 1/2 Weeks soundtrack. Yup, I was right, Dalbello has a song on it. Black on Black. What a voice! She definitely should’ve been a major star. Don’t know why she wasn’t. But I think she’d be proud of what Ann did with her song 😃

[@chooseyourname1223]

When my dad bought me my first cd, he gave me this album on it. Listen to this album hundreds of times, maybe a thousand. Love It!

Listen to the original version by the lyricist and composer Dalbello! It's exceptional!😩

[@mateusmatzensan]

That's because there isn't a videoclip for it.

[@Kemrer]

Vocal control taken to infinity. Ann's voice builds in emotion and brilliance, all time favorite for me.

[@sorceress214]

Ann is the QUEEN of Rock & Roll for sure!! Wear that crown with pride Ann!!

[@rachels4154]

Ok, Ann's voice is amazing, but more so is the depth of waiting and listening, and the pathos of that expressed in this song, that makes this song extraordinary.

[@marymistretta6906]

Love this beautiful song ❤

Remember going on a family roadtrip, and I had just bought this cassette, and had a Walkman. I listened to it for the whole trip, several times over. First time I've heard these songs in a couple of decades...Memories rush back.

Tommy, I haven't heard that one but will check it out. I was speaking more in general terms about Ann's body of work rather than any particular one tune. I will have to take a listen. Thanks for the tip.

This song proves Ann's talent & range

[@jcorral2]

... an ex-girlfriend of mine bought me this album and ironically our entire summer fling was pretty much every song on the album LOL This song gets me every time, the build-up, the climax, it's so underrated of a song, and every time I play it for friends of mine that I've never heard it and blows them away.

[@thesmithcarvalhoproject7199]

Amazing on Amazing Amaziness, Heart interpreting Dalbello´s at best. Excellence in artistry. Love both of them. Thank you for 30 years of amazing music.

[@andypeters6854]

Bad Animals is a Master Piece of music.

[@charleswagner2984]

The whole album, right?

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

I absolutely LOVE this Promo Single, which was released to the U.S. only in 1987. BUT, the correct title is "Wait For AN Answer".

[@MrListenerman]

what a voice.... out of this World and into the next one

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

The bass work is on point... What a strange band.. Nobody else could pull this off...The heavy tech on this record was surprising and it worked!!! Sexy and Dark.. It makes me uneasy.... Awesome effort Cascadia thanks you!!!

[@trfesok]

Better than the version by the songwriter, IMHO. Both are in my Heart playlist. Thanks again, Kevin.

love this record, totally classic.

[@cireravilob]

I was last month years old when I learned that this and Queensryche’s “Gonna Get Close to You” were both covers from the same album. Dalbello. Great versions!!

[@r.i.pyoutube6881]

It's very misty.. Quite an enigmatic emotion I get whistl listening to this song. Disconnected yet familiar, as if I'm deep in a lush, humid forest. The perfume of heady moss and earthen petrichol ensues..

[@alanspringett9233]

[@silentonall]

Strange. I was thinking of this Album just two weeks ago again after watching their Barracuda song. All this time I kid you not.

[@runningtap12]

Legendary band!

[@karmafarm]

Wow, I had no idea this barnburner by DalBello had been covered by the equally powerful Ann Wilson and Heart. Wilson is surely one of THE voices of modern rock.

[@jasonklein4021]

Love this crazy classic

[@LOFREQNC]

Great Job Anne! Great job on the drum mix too.

[@lovetogolf4184]

My Favorite Ann Wilson!!!!

[@ericodijk]

Still not sure which one I prefer, this one or the original bij Dalbello. They are both extraordinary. Ann Wilson sings it perfect, production and band are fantastic, the little variation in the music notes during the second line of the chorus (following Ann) is brilliant. On the other hand, Dalbello sings this beautiful as well, she is genuinely and deeply hurting when she CRIES the song. Even more than Ann (who is still absolutely brilliant here). What a song!!!

[@lennypearl]

One of the few cases where the remake is superior to the original. Ann Wilson's voice at its peak.

[@OldMovieRob]

Ann's intensity

[@tiagoids]

I agree. I love Heart's version, it's perfect technically, it has its dose of emotion, but I prefer Dalbello's one, it's unbelievable what she does in the music, and completely visceral.

[@WithaJoeFro]

The difference is Dalbello's version makes it clear the protagonist is unbalanced. Ann's version just sounds like she's in love with some guy who won't answer the phone which kind of goes along with "Alone". Then on "Who Will You Run To" she's pissed off because he apparently did finally answer the phone and told her to pound sand.

[@kcdesert05]

I gotta pick this version. There's just more going on musically. It has more of a "feeling" to it.

[@diceytrust2768]

kcdesert05 - Agreed...It has such emotion and the build up through out is beautiful. Almost like a "musical scary movie". You feel like you're on the edge of your seat, waiting for what's going to happen next in the song.
