Heart singer Ann Wilson is set to release her second solo EP, The Ann Wilson Thing! #2 — Focus. Featured tracks on the EP include live recordings of Jimi Hendrix’ “Manic Depression” and Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up”, as well as two Wilson-penned tracks, the folk-inspired “Fightin Fer Life” and the bluesy “Anguish”. Guitarist Craig Bartok co-wrote both of these original songs with Wilson.
Contest details below
“Manic Depression” sees Wilson and the group paying homage to a blues-rock legend in Hendrix with Wilson’s own flair. “Fightin Fer Life” recalls Heart’s more folk and acoustic inspired tunes.
Wilson is also announcing a solo mini-tour of Florida, to take place after Heart’s Rock Hall Three For All tour (with Cheap Trick and Joan Jett) concludes in mid-September. The first show will be at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne, FL on Sept. 27 and will be followed by shows at Plaza Live in Orlando, FL and the Pointe Vedra Concert Hall in Pointe Vedra, FL on Sept 27 and Sept 28, respectively.
As a songwriter and lyricist, Ann Wilson has created an impressive body of work (“Crazy on You,” “Barracuda,” “Magic Man,” “Dog & Butterfly,” “Straight On”, “Even it Up,” “Mistral Wind,” and many more).
