Isolated Vocals: Ann Wilson

Here's another amazing Reddit find! Isolated vocals of Ann Wilson of Heart singing their classic "Barracuda." Listening to the song this way gave me chills. Everyone knows that Ann Wilson has a magic voice, but hearing "Barracuda" like this is an entirely different experience than listening to the single version. The power in her voice is unreal. Get about 90 seconds in and listen to Ann hit those high notes - unreal!

This incredible performance is what you get when you combine natural ability, years and years and years of practice, and a world class vocal teacher in David Kyle, who trained all the biggies that came out of Seattle .... Wilson, Geoff Tate, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley.

She’s always had pipes for days! Legendary hard rock band(& voice!), imho. That was awesome!!!

A lovely treat indeed. Thanks for sharing, Allyson.

And thanks for education, Gogmagog. Had to look up David Kyle. Wow. That guy had an impact! Some of the stuff made me chuckle though (and that is likely my woeful lack of musical talent). The maestro label is well-deserved seemingly, though it made me think of a particular sitcom. But I get it. It was bestowed on him by BSO conductor Arthur Fiedler. So, my giggle means nothing. At least one other site I perused also called Lyle a 'metaphysical teacher'. Interesting indeed.

And one of Lyle's understudies, Lunte of TVS, isn't afraid of grand titles: The Four Pillars of Singing sounds like one of those clip-and-call ads in the back of Hit Parader back in the day!

But thanks for the share, Allyson, and the interesting info, Gogmagog. Love this site!

you met the porpoise in me???
don’t get me wrong, this really shows her sonic abilities, but hearing the lyrics can also harm the song, lol.
