Ann Wilson's latest solo album, 'Consecrated Ground', was released on October 9th, marking her second collaboration with Tripsitter. Wilson expressed her desire to work with the band again due to their natural creative synergy and the ease of recording at Paul Moak's studio.
'Consecrated Ground' features nine songs that weave together psych-rock, blues, and Wilson's signature storytelling. She described the album as containing "lots of good rock" alongside "really, really sweet ballads," differentiating its sound from Heart's established musical identity.
The album title, 'Consecrated Ground,' was inspired by the studio's location in Nashville, a city with a rich musical heritage. Wilson felt the ground where the music was created held a special significance.
Tracks like "I Will Not Be Coming Back" highlight Wilson's powerful vocals, while "Hot Foot" and "Renaissance Kids" showcase her rock 'n' roll spirit. Beyond creative expression, Wilson views working on solo material as vital to her well-being, ensuring she remains vocally prepared for Heart's upcoming tour next year.
