Heart rose to fame with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal [4] as well as folk music. The band underwent a major lineup change between the late 1970s and the early 1980s; by 1982 Fisher, Fossen, and Derosier had all left and were replaced by Mark Andes (bass) and Denny Carmassi (drums).

Come for the classic singles "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man"; stay for the blues-country boogie "White Lightning & Wine," poetic gem "Soul Of The Sea" and the gentle, acoustic guitar-ruffled title track.
- 'Bebe Le Strange' (1980) This was the first Heart LP without Michael and Roger Fisher, which is perhaps why Ann and Nancy Wilson's songwriting feels so unconstrained by expectations.
