A LifeMinute with Heart's Ann Wilson

It is pretty much universally agreed that Ann Wilson possesses one of the greatest voices in rock and roll history. Now, at 71-years-old, age has neither diminished her voice nor her gorgeous looks. She is most famous as the lead singer of the multi-platinum band Heart, with whom she and her younger sister Nancy has fronted since 1973.
With album sales exceeding more than 35 million and an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, there is no doubt that Wilson has been a trailblazer for all women rock performers that have followed in her footsteps. In 2007, Wilson dropped her first solo effort with the mostly covers release Hope & Glory, where she tackled songs by a who's who of some of rock’s greatest, such as John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, and Elton John, to name a few. This was followed 11 years later with another cover collection called Immortal. Wilson wears her wide range of influences on her sleeve with interpretations of songs by David Bowie, the Eagles, Lesley Gore, Tom Petty, Audioslave, and Amy Winehouse.
Fast Forward to 2022. Her latest release, Fierce Bliss, is a definite return to the more bombastic rock sound made famous by Heart. It's comprised of seven original tracks penned by Wilson during the pandemic lockdown and four cover songs. She is joined on this record by ace guitarists Warren Haynes and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, plus a duet with Vince Gill. Recording was primarily done at the legendary Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, And the album artwork was done by Roger Dean, famous for his covers for the groups YES and ASI, all of which only prove Wilson's classic rock street cred is intact.
LifeMinute caught up with the singer and got the scoop on the new record, current tour, and getting back together with sister Nancy next year to celebrate Hearts’ 50th anniversary with select tour dates. Wilson even shared plans about opening up a clothing boutique near her home in Florida. This is a LifeMinute with the legendary Ann Wilson.

Ann Wilson is the hands down most beautiful woman ever born .

[@AdrianaDiGeronimo]

Ann is soooo grounded and humble, yet, such a legend. I like it when she is given the space to talk by herself and let her express what she wants. It makes her shine to the max.

[@starflyt1150]

For rock and roll Ann Wilson is untouchable.

One of my favourite Heart performances was at the Kennedy Centre Honours; Stairway to Heaven sung to Led Zeppelin. I listen to it often and Ann’s voice is amazing …. gives me goosebumps every time 😊

[@waynej2608]

Anne's voice her singing abilities are unbelievable really awesome not to mention what a beautiful woman she is. Out of one of the best singers I would have to say she is as far as the females and as far as the males I would have to say Freddy from Queen

[@paulya1269]

Would never guess she’s 72. Voice is still strong too. Keep going Ann!

[@user-rc9gd7jd5r]

The album Fierce Bliss should win a Grammy Period!!!

[@dfortaeGameReviews]

Great interview with Ann, thank you! Ann is truly amazing. Not only voice/talent wise, but soul/personality wise.

[@bobbiwithane]

Great interview!

[@krum41]

A total original !

[@AngusRockford]

When I was a young teenager, I wanted to grow up to marry Ann Wilson, but I figured the age difference (20+ years) would be an issue. Now she looks younger than me, and is still an amazing performer. Remarkable woman.

[@marykrueger6039]

What a great interview. Love Ann. What a legend. Hope Heart is able to reunite with the original lineup for their 50th anniversary and put out an album/DVD.

[@SusanMorrin]

What a very beautiful, super talented women Ann is.

[@diannecarpenter7718]

Cool, hot and spot-on rockin’ !! I love Ann Wilson’s - Fierce Bliss release and bought it on CD & record. The artwork, music and vocals are great!! *Ann is my favorite female rock vocalist. She’s an inspiration for musicians, including me. Keep making music!! Hope Ann & Nancy make a new Heart album together. Please release a box set of Heart, too. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁 Life is better with music.

[@carolbotelho5840]

You are loved! Your voice is simply the best!

[@carlosivanroserohernandez2929]

Saludo cordial, con mucha admiración y cariño para la cantante Ann, desde Colombia. Es una persona fascinante. DIOS la bendiga.

[@marymunchak8192]

Great interview questions giving Ann lots of room to share her thoughts! I'm interested in hearing more about her store.

[@musicisart2]

Amazing Ann can still bring it, so happy she and Uncle Larry found each other. His band kicks ass.

[@MeganWall1019]

Great interview and lovely interviewer ❤

[@pangoroo]

Good praise for Uncle Larry (Tom Bukovac). She’s right, he does have his own following. And he has great things to say about Ann as well.

[@lamont8121]

My goodness! She looks like a woman in her 40’s ! A beautiful person to be sure😊

[@hughle2579]

Glad Ann mentioned Tom Bukovac ! ❤❤❤

[@peterherard8207]

Barracuda and crazy on You , are as iconic songs as stairway to heaven and freebird

[@MeganWall1019]

I particularly like the comfort food question ❤😂👍

[@rhondabesst6817]

Ann, your simply amazing! Look amazing and still sound amazing! My late mom was a huge fan. Then, I became a huge fan soon after hearing you in my younger days and still a great fan! Your thoughts on music so true! I use to live on FL on the out part of Orlando for 20 years. The subdivision I lived in was surrounded by a nature preserve not far from the St John’s River. I remember the boat ride seeing many big alligators and a bald eagle ❤ My sister in law then wanted to teach me water skiing on that river! I said heck no there or anywhere thereLOL. Anyway, thank you for continuing your amazing talent. Btw, you look amazing such a beauty !

[@user-rc9gd7jd5r]

Phenomenal

"Now Muscle Shoals, they've got the Swampers. And they've been known to pick a song or two. Lord, they get me off so much. They pick me up when I'm feeling blue. Now, how about you?"

Looking great!

Greed is a bad sin tho sin is sin in the eyes of God and he judges a persons heart and if the accept Jesus's atoning death on the cross... a free gift from God.

Mistral Wind.

Love that song! Ann really soars on that one.

[@kergos967]

Do you think you would do a Christmas Album

[@DonMacGillivray]

Cool minute although the dates are off in the intro, they certainly didn't go "multi platinum" in 73. Nancy wasn't yet in the band and the first LP wasn't released until 76.

[@tonyspada2744]

ANN you're a National Treasure! ♥️ Let's play together sometime 🎸 sometime

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Anne lets get together and play some music together ❤ 🏝️🎸✨

[@benrobinson77]

Great interview but background music was so distracting and not needed. Just sayin'
