Ann Wilson - Hope & Glory CD Review

No matter how objective I try to be, I recognize that we're all biased in one way or another. Proper journalistic etiquette dictates that I identify my bias so you have the complete context for what you're reading.

I admit it. I've been an Ann Wilson fan for ... well, about as long as Ann Wilson has been performing publicly. I'm a sucker for rock singers who play flute, especially when they are this talented.

I would like to think that my bias actually helps me see more clearly the few blemishes in Wilson's just-released solo album, Hope & Glory, rather than masking them.

My considered (albeit biased) judgment is that even if you don't give give a hoot about Heart or have never paid attention to Ann Wilson, you should avail yourself of the opportunity offered by listening to Hope & Glory.
