Fanatic is the fifteenth studio album by American rock band Heart, released October 2, 2012 through Legacy Recordings. The album was recorded in hotel rooms and studios up and down the West Coast, with Grammy-winning producer Ben Mink, who had previously produced Red Velvet Car (2010), back at the helm.
Ann and Nancy Wilson drew from their own lives and personal experiences as inspiration for their music. "Dear Old America" comes from memories of a military household and is written from the point of view of their father, a Marine Corps officer, returning from war. "Rock Deep (Vancouver)" hearkens back to the city where Dreamboat Annie was written and "Walkin' Good" (a duet with Vancouver resident Sarah McLachlan) captures the joy of finding new life in a new love.
Fanatic debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard album chart becoming Heart's 12th Top 25 album, selling around 16,000 copies in its first week. It has sold 50,000 copies in the United States as of June 2016.
All tracks written by Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson and Ben Mink.
