Professor Of Rock has released the new video below, along with the following message:
"Coming up, one of rock greatest vocalists, Ann Wilson of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame band Heart, tells the first hand account of a song that has become part of rock folk lore, the 70s classic, 'Barracuda'. Her record label Mushroom set up a publicity stunt that a radio promoter harassed her, implying a sexual relationship with her sister Nancy. She was so outraged, so livid, she went straight to her hotel room and wrote this seething rock masterpiece. This rocker tells us the story, as well as original members Steve Fossan and Michael Derosier, and how guitarist Nancy Wilson pissed off the band Nazareth when she admitted to borrowing their riff when Heart was opening for them early on."
