Dianne Heatherington - Heatherington Rocks (1980)

Dianne Heatherington - Heatherington Rocks 

  Winnipeg born Canadian rocker Dianne Heatherington lone solo album is an excellent recording!  Dianne had a a great rock voice and reminds you immediately of the band Heart with her pop infused rock sound.   Triumph's Rik Emmett guests on two tracks too adding some excellent guitar bits along the way.

  Highlight for me is her version of The Beatles "Helter Skelter" which has a hard edgy sound to it that works quite well.  Dianne had a powerful yet gritty voice that was just so well suited to the rock scene!  

  As far as I know this album has never been transfered to CD and remains a fairly hidden treasure of Canada's rock past.
