Fanatic is the fifthteenth studio album by US hard rock band Heart, released October 2, 2012 by Legacy Recordings. The album was recorded in hotel rooms and studios up and down the West Coast, with Grammy-winning producer Ben Mink back at the helm with the Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) drawing 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 peaked at #24 on the Billboard album chart becoming Heart's 12th Top 25 album.
