Deservingly, she chose some of the best musicians on the planet to accompany her, therefore the music is flawless as you would expect. As a seasoned musician, Ms. Wilson delivery creates the proper mood for each tune; fun when it should be and solemnly thoughtful when necessary. The word DIVA is banded about often, but to Ms. Wilson, it applies.

It's shocking that it has taken until now for Ann Wilson, the powerhouse lead singer of Heart, to release her first solo album (Hope & Glory, out September 11). One of the major voices in rock since Heart's founding three decades ago, Wilson is peerless in tearing through Zeppelin-influenced hard rock with memorable tunes, like "Barracuda" and "Crazy On You."
