[ 10/18/2007 ] BLAIR'S DVD WATCH: Heart's Classic First Album Is Born Again on DVD (and CD)

Heart: Dreamboat Annie Live
(Shout! Factory)
This whole business of bands playing legendary albums in their entirety
is an interesting trend. I guess it really started with a soon-to-be
classic 28 years ago, when The Who would regularly perform their
then-new Tommy at many shows. My recollection is that Pink Floyd played
most, if not all, of Dark Side of the Moon live and in order on their
1972 "Eclipse" and '73 "Dark Side..." tours, both of which I saw and was
blown away by; they definitely did it for The Wall a few years later.
More recently, former Floyd member Roger Waters has taken to pleasing
crowds at his shows by performing the entire album. Two years ago Patti
Smith released a live CD of her current band (which isn't much
different than her original band) playing her 1975 debut album, Horses,
in order, in its entirety. The performances were pretty true to the
original album, which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending
on how you look at it. I mean, performing something essentially the
same as you did 30 years earlier doesn't exactly show growth as an
artist. (Ironic, since Patti has grown tremendously since then). But I
suppose it's nice for audiences who grew up on certain classics to be
able to hear every song on an album-even the less than thrilling
tunes!-in concentrated form. (It certainly takes away the element of
surprise for the concertgoer, however, not to mention diminishing the
way a song's appearance in a concert between other newer and perhaps
older songs changes the context and feeling of the classic tunes.)
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."
But on Hope & Glory, the elder Wilson sister emerges
as a thoughtful soloist with a political agenda. The collection of
mostly covers revisits hallowed songs by the likes of John Lennon and
Neil Young, sung with such unexpected partners as Rufus Wainwright, kd
lang and Alison Krause. Wilson tones down her typically thundering
vocals and shuns the swagger of vintage Heart in favor of moody
production, blues and even bluegrass.
Though the war in Iraq clearly influenced this socially-conscious
album, it's not all doom and gloom. Along with apocalyptic tunes like
Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," the singer includes the
Youngbloods' "Get Together," which suggests there is a place for hope
in even the most difficult times. The one original on the album,
"Little Problems, Little Lies," is deceptive in its beauty. A haunting
lullaby, it paints an astoundingly vivid picture of a wounded soldier's
last moments, and Wilson, her voice tender yet confident, pulls it off
gracefully.
[ 10/10/2007 ] SEATTLE, Oct. 9 (UPI) - Seattle rocker Ann Wilson said the desire to record "songs of social consciousness" inspired her first solo album.
"Hope & Glory" features just one new song, "Little Problems, Little Lies," and 11 of the Heart front woman's favorites from Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, the Animals, Pink Floyd and others. All, she said, share a common theme.
"The amount of bombardment we get from reality every day is pretty terrifying and stressful, and very negative," Wilson said. "These songs talk about that but also supply some kind of option. They're poetic about how to deal with stress and the ideas that are coming down on us like rain.
"Hopefully this is something people can take with them and use in their lives to listen to and maybe be inspired by."
"Hope & Glory" features collaborations with Elton John, Gretchen Wilson, k.d. lang and Wilson's sister and Heart partner Nancy Wilson, among others.

It's hard to believe that Heart's powerhouse lead vocalist Ann Wilson
never got around to recording a solo album, yet she's not exactly going
it alone on this initial venture out.
The dark-haired roaring rocker, who together with sister Nancy
propelled Heart to multi-platinum fame in the 1970s and early '80s, has
gathered some big names to help her out on "Hope & Glory," her
first solo release.
It's primarily a "covers," album designed to showcase Wilson's voice,
and she's infused the set with plenty of subliminal and
not-so-subliminal social commentary through her choice of material..... (click MORE)
So, your friend says, " I'm going to tell you a secret, but you
can't tell anyone about it for two and a half months." No problem, huh?
Then a bombshell gets dropped on you and it takes all your will power
to hold it in that long. Such is the case with the brand new CD "Hope
and Glory" by Ann Wilson of Heart, in stores and on-line on 9-11. We at
ROCKLINE got an advance copy months ago and swore not to play it
anywhere in public. So quite often, we finish a show and just sit in
our studio and listen to it together. That would be AFTER we are
finished for the night. The first thing that strikes you is what an
unbelievable voice Ann still possesses and then the actual song....(click more for rest of story)
antiMusic reports: Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson is releasing her very first solo album, Hope and Glory, next week. The album not only showcases Ann's amazing talent but she also got a little help from her friends including Elton John, Gretchen Wilson, Alison Krauss, Rufus Wainwright, and of course her sister Nancy. This week we get a little preview with Ann telling us a little bit about a few of the tracks on the CD. Here is Ann with today's song: Little Problems, Little Lies
We decided to write from the very first day, but it took me a really
long time to figure out who I was and what my lyrics could be inside
this album. But then I thought why don't I be a soldier in Iraq lying
down to die, bewildered, and summing things up. I wanted to keep it
simple and use the language someone would use at a time like that.
When we first started working on the album, some people were like "Do
we dare take some sort of global, political stand?" Because generally
there's music and there's this other thing way over there - politics.
But it's become so pervasive, it's all fused together, now so I don't
think anyone has to worry. I believe this is good music for people to
hear, to help to contemplate our world now. Preview a couple tracks off
the CD, grab tour dates and more right here!

For me this brilliant John Lennon song was always a very personal, very
human response to being messed with - to being totally kicked around.
It's about what it feels like to be on "the human trampoline," as Paul
Simon would say.
Because my own response to being treated that way is always to get very
isolated, this song means a lot to me. Recording "Isolation" meant even
more because I cut that vocal and that track only a few days after our
mother passed away. That's actually the first take. We didn't add much
of anything. We didn't have to. Preview a couple tracks off the CD,

Two"old friends" are rising back into the aural zeitgeist next week. Heart vocalist Ann Wilson returns with Hope & Glory, her debut solo album showcasing a new, poignant, serious-minded original, and 11 powerfully resonating cover selections. More somber and earthy than political or preachy, the themes adrift in Neil Young's "War of Man," Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," and Jesse Colin Young's "Darkness, Darkness"
are well stirred by these troubled times, and well, mighty comforting here in the foxhole. More clouds and thunder come in a spooky-cool run at Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky," a down-home front-porch hootenanny of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" with guest Gretchen Wilson, and a call to "Get Together" with The Youngbloods' Summer of
Love hit.
Other guests include a duet with Elton John on his own "Where to Now Saint Peter," and k.d. lang riding shotgun on the road to Lucinda Williams' "Jackson." Closing out the Zoe Records release, Wilson's new song, "Little Problems, Little Lies," was written from the imagined
perspective of an American soldier in Iraq, "a bleedin' in a bombed-out SUV," and succeeds where 90 percent of pop music today fails, asking the listener to slow down a little, breathe deep, and listen to the words...

My love of Led Zeppelin is very much a matter of public record. Have I
heard from the guys yet? No, and as Helen Mirren said when she was
asked about the Queen seeing The Queen, I don't think we'll ever really
know what they think of this. If you're going to re-record a Zeppelin
song, I think you have to reinvent it and that's where Ben Mink just
shone. Ben said, "Why don't we just start you out like Yma Sumac and
take the song way, way North African?" Our version starts a little like
a little dot on the horizon, but by the time it's done you've been
overrun by all the barbarians.

LANCASTER - Why do some bands endure and others fade away? Why
do people still care?
On Tuesday night at the Antelope Valley Fair and
Alfalfa Festival, rock band Heart proved they could remain relevant
more than 30 years after they got their start as a bar band - and that
their audience still cares.
On the other hand, relative newcomers The All-American Rejects
demonstrated one night later that rock's glory isn't the sole domain of
its elder statesmen or women.
