#annwilson #missionaryman #fiercebliss
There is a calm, serene spirituality about Ann Wilson in 2022 which instantly draws you to her. She feels like a warm, wise someone who has seen enough bullshit to know how to avoid it calmly, and someone who is at peace with whatever she needs to be at peace with. Perhaps that is why the soul (and, indeed title) of her latest album, Fierce Bliss (set for release April 29 via Silver Lining Music) offers such universally entertaining, engaging, honest and safe harbor from these unpredictable times.
Take “Greed,” the powerful first single… “‘Greed’ is that thing in our animal nature that makes us want MORE,” Wilson declares. “Whether it be money, sex, power or ecstasy, it fires our craving! It happens with all of us. When you turn around and catch yourself making decisions because you want the money, or because you’re caught in the headlights of glory, well, those are greedy moments.”
Wilson continues “I think people who claim to have made every decision from a root of pure idealism, and never done anything dark or greedy, is lying. I think everybody who ventures into especially the music industry hoping for a career with big success, ends up making these Faustian bargains at some point even if only briefly. It’s an aggressive song and I think I write best when I’m angry.”
Fierce Bliss is classic rock comfort food of the finest ingredients, carrying a richness and light that allows you to escape into timeless nostalgia. 11 perfectly weighted and selected songs ranging from Wilson’s own co-penned originals to breathtaking covers and collaborations. “A Moment in Heaven” could easily apply to anyone who has seen their career suddenly bathed in a bright beam of glory before the spotlight is abruptly moved elsewhere. There is a deeply spiritual air about Ann Wilson 2022, and both “Black Wing” and “Angel’s Blues” show different facets of that soul and ethos. Furthermore, Wilson brings new life and verve to classic songs, such as Queen’s “Love of My Life” and Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs,” and has helped fashion definitive versions of each which stand toe-to-toe with the originals.
To cap it all, the album artwork comes from the mind and hands of celebrated fantasy artist Roger Dean, who aside from his work in fantasy art is also renowned for his Yes sleeve artwork.
Wilson will soon be hitting the road with her new band, and make no mistake, she’s a performer at heart thus her excitement is palpable. Ann Wilson seems to be more comfortable with herself (and her art) than ever before with both Fierce Bliss and the band she’ll be touring with. “I think that for someone who’s been through as much as I have, and has lived to tell the tales, it’s okay to share my experiences,” says Wilson sagely. “I’ve heard from a lot of younger musicians and listeners too who have thanked me for staying around and for just keeping upright, just making it through, making the concessions once but not twice, and being able to live through it all with dignity.”

"There is a calm, serene spirituality about Ann Wilson...which instantly draws you to her." (This is so true.)
Artists like Ann & Robin are living, current proof of these AC/DC song lyrics: “Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution, Rock 'n' roll ain't gonna die, Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution! Rock 'n' roll, it will survive (yes, it will)”. LOVE LIVE ROCK & ROLL.😎
Let’s not forget that this legend is almost 72 years old. She still has her sound. Absolutely amazing. 👍🌹❤️
@@jimbo029 .. isn't it funny if not at a minimum *the best revenge* on the 'industry', that the most talented people *even now* just so happen to be women who *still* sound amazing and don't look like corpse puppets like many males in the biz of similar age?! 👍🤟
Nor have they slowed or lost their musicianship, writing or instrument playing abilities.
The Wilson sisters may never know the true feeling of *We/I finally made it!* in regards to the industry in general but seeing all the sincere love and worship-like respect their peers have & give them is 1000% more valuable IMO.. A-N-Y-D-A-Y 🎶

My parents listened to Heart back when I was a kid so I grew with this influencing my taste in music. Ann still ROCKS!
Ann Wilson - BEST female singing voice ever, she rocks it no matter what it is.
Amen to that!!
Yup. Saw her and her sister in Bangor ME. in 1977.
She is 71 still rocking incredible
Great....8.times.i.seen.❤
Who is that screamin Guitar Man! KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD that's who! Makes Ann Wilson come alive! Great tune!
Uncle Larry rocking away with legendary Queen of Rock: Ann Wilson..
Rock the way it's supposed to be!
Love the album cover by legendary Roger Dean !
It would take a lot to top Eurythmics' original Grammy-winning original, but I appreciate the effort. I suspect Annie Lennox would give it a thumbs up. Would have been interesting if Ann and Annie had done a duet, in fact.
Still the best female vocalists. My favorite.
Magic Men either!!....Kinda the same thang i reckon...Magical Miracle Men...Or Magical Miracle Women....dont mess wit these Peeps....cause We have to believe We are Magic.....thats ANN....Vocal Queen of Rock n Roll!!.....Still....
This song has always been a Great tune!
Annie Lennox!
But. It's Come back Bigger and Better!
Ann Wilson is a Rocking Goddess!!
Can‘t wait to see Ann Wilson at Wacken 🤘
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One female legend sings another...can't miss!!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd!!! Love it all. Cool version. ❤️
I never liked this song.....UNTIL....I heard this version. Ann is definitely one of the best female rock vocalists of all time, if not THE best!
So you're not a fan of the avant-garde, but prefer the generic? I love Ann too but taking a Eurythmics song and singing it like "Nothin' At All" isn't going to work 9 times out of 10. And this doesn't work.
@@chrisacer6605 my comment really pertained to Ann's singing. I still don't particularly care for the song, just her vocal interpretation of it.
Like This Version Of This Song Better Than Annie Lennox
great rockin track
Brilliant Ann. You are the Voice of the world. Great song and you and your band Rocked it. The Best Ever.🎵🎶🎼🎸🎤🎹🎼
Still the best
Would love to have Ann and Annie do a duet of this
i'm tearing through this album like a starving lion!
yes same here
Would love to experience Ann rocking this song live in person.
Ann is legendary. One of my female heroes in the music industry. Man I cannot wait to hear her voice on the new Disturbed album. That will be epic
One of the most iconic female voices in ROCK history PERIOD!!!!
Oh this is light years better than the original.
Cool, hot, spot-on rockin” !!
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Life is better with music.
Age dont mean shit anne can still belt it out sounds great cool version
Your voice its amazing love it! Keep rockin!
Fantastic voice, great instrumentals...it makes me feel like I'm listening to Dreamboat Annie for the first time again.
Cool,ann
Two of my favorites in one song? Say it 'ain't so!
Amazing! I heard this down in Palm Beach this week in my car. I pumped it so loud! Go Ann 🥰
Damn, Ann is rocking it!!🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
Best voice in the business. Period!
No one's allowed to make anything in the USA if it's not country or blues or hip hop I wish Ann would go back to the frantic European sound of the mid 1980s
Ann is the high-queen of rock and roll!
Better than original!!! Amazing!
Love the new Lead Guitarist❗️
Awesome Solo❗️
Kenny Wayne Shepherd on guitar for this track.
Rumor has it that the song Missionary Man and the song Best Man in the World were written about the same man
After hearing this song he told me that he would love to sit down and write some new songs with you. He also asked me to thank you for the inspiration to want to write songs again
🍀That was brilliant the singing the music.💐 what a awesome version of this song.😊 Ann's beautiful voice! 🌹💖🌹🍀
Energetic!!!!!🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶 Ann ❤️🎉
Awesome! I love her new band. Ann can sing anything!! She still sounds incredible.
Love Ann and Annie Lennox !!
Awesome! What a great thing to wake up to!
Hell yes, Ann. Love it. You and Kenny sound awesome together.
Damn, she knocked that out of the park…👍
Ann and Kenny kick ass on this cover song.
Ann I'm glad you're back to Rockin. You sound great.
I love the way it starts out with vocals and then just kicks in with everything else. Every time I listen, I notice more and more brilliance in the production. Amazing, Ann 🤟🏻🎸☮️
Awesome some new music , Love Ann Wilson, that voice is still amazing
Sounds great!
Getting more and more excited for the shows this summer! 💜🔥🤩🔥💜
Kid you not, I was playing Ghost B.C.'s version for my mother this morning and she said that Ann Wilson did a version. This video has only been out one day and somehow she knew. It was 8am when I played that version.
She can sing anything, LOVE IT!!!!
Just Awesome, nuf said.❤️
Wow!! I was just combing the Internet to see if there were any leaks of other tracks from this album and then…poof…you posted this!! Thank you, Ann 🤟🏻🎸☮️
Awesomeness right there Ann🎤
Now that's the way I like it
Love this song. Loved the lyrics. You are such a beautiful and talented artist. Really love all the masterpieces you create. 😎🎶
Good cover. Kenny Wayne Sheppard kicks ass on the guitar work! \m/
👍👍👍👍❤️Ann you are just getting better! Great songs made better with your passion and love 💗 This is my favorite collection. I haven’t wanted to buy a CD in a long time. Rock on my friend!!!
Can’t wait to hear this live !!!
WOW! Ann you are so BRILLIANT, girl you could sing a shopping list and knock it out of the ball park. You hit a home run with this one. Queen of Rock has struck again. Love you Ann - 👍🥰🥰😉
too funny:)
First Sister of Rock n Roll!!!
Love it!
Can’t wait for the album 😃
I don't even like the Eurythmics. But this is a good cover. Nicely done Ann. ✊🏿
Work out the bs between you and your sister. Death is just a heartbeat away.....
Wooo!!! ❤️ 🔥
Rocks pretty good. Super song. Hammer sound und mega cool. Ciaoo Gigi 🤩🔊🎸🎸🎶🎼
Wow! This is one of two Eurythmics songs I’ve always loved (Would I Lie To You is the other). So good to hear you really getting into it, hearing your passion and range. Great playing, great production. IMO, this and “Greed” sounds like you at the top of your game. The Amazing Dawgs are the great band your talent always deserved to level up with.
Outstanding
Brilliant. Looking forward to this new album. Congratulations!
Love ❤ IT INFINITY ♾ U GO GIRL
Fantastic...killer cover!
❤️❤️❤️❤️As usual, PERFECTION!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
STILL AMAZING!!!
Love this ....Rock it out 😍❤
Yes! Love it
👍
Assolutamente eccezionale
Excellent 👍
Fantastic cover Ann! I look very forward to this album and especially your take on Bridge Of Sighs. It's to be played at my funeral and now I need to decide if it's you or Robion and Jimmy Dewar. Hope you make it to Utah on this tour.🙏 Blessings beautiful Lady.
Ann and Jimmy are two of my favorite singers since the mid-70s. While I haven’t heard Ann’s version of Bridge of Sighs yet, I sincerely doubt, with all the respect in the world, that anyone can match the depth of soul that Mr. Dewar injected into that song. It’s an ethereal masterpiece, especially played loudly on a good pair of headphones.
Glad she's still writing and performing unlike tired mz nicks.....
I thought the artwork had Roger Dean's fingerprint on it. liner notes proved me right. In addition to Yes, Roger also did cover artwork for several of Asia's albums too
Ahh, that's why I immediately thought of Yes when I saw it.
👏👏👏💪❤️
Isn’t this a Eurythmics tune? It’s a great version anyway. Greed sounded great on the radio too when I heard it
I’m a huge fan of the Eurythmics and also love Heart , I think that Ann Wilson has brought something good and different to this track
Btw. I like the guitar parts on this version
I like Annie Lennox's version better
IT;s good to have them both
Ann, I know you don't know me, I'm 30 years younger than you, and I am just a comment on UA-cam, but will you marry me?
Can't blame a guy for tryin'.
I’m glad artists are covering Eurythmics songs, but the covers sound so generic.
Her voice is a million times better than the other singer. And this version actually makes the song likeable now.
Why do you feel the need to do pointless covers, Ann? Breaking one out once in awhile in a live gig is fine, but there's nothing here that improves upon the original. Nor do I need to hear Annie Lennox sing "Barracuda." Just give us new music please.
I wonder why comments are turned off for Love of My Life. Could it be because nobody can stand the screeching of Vince Gill? Horrible.
A great song and glad it’s getting some love but this version does not measure up to the original. Neither the performance nor the arrangement.
The original was nothing but pure garbage why would Ann copy some garbage 1980s song while saying " who will you run to" is not that stupendous?
Yeah Ann can take a junkie American country music song and make it a billion times better than anyone else but it's still a country music song it's certainly not a" who will you run to" song which it should have been
This is kind of surprising since Ann usually rants about how horrible she thinks 80s music is.
Get rid of this band immediately get a new sound immediately another song wasted by the lousy sound the lousy session players and the lousy country blues music song.. the only thing that captures your attention is Ann Wilson's voice in the first half of the song
Enough with the covers
Taking the worst songs of the '80s and redoing them while Ann refuses to acknowledge how good hearts 1980s music was there's something wrong here this doesn't make any logical sense
It started out good but I quickly got angry with the song with the same redundant 21st century country blues clapping backup blues singing it's so rote and so mundane and so uninspired there is nothing frantic or high energy about this... the frantic high energy sound heart is renowned for
If she was going to copy an Eurythmics song it should have been the 1988 song "chill in my heart" or the 1985 song "talking to an angel " she chose the worst eurythmic song who only had about two or three good songs during the entire 1980s
