    Fanatic here reclaims folk music from the Mumblefords, teaches all rock bands how to actually rock, and continues Heart's legacy of being, quite frankly, one of the best bands we have ever had.

    On Fanatic, the Wilsons prove they can not only not re-create a sound they trademarked in the '70s, but can revision it creatively for the 21st century.

    The Wilson sisters comes out swinging old-school style with a full-throttle title track that sets the tone for the bulk of their 14th studio album.

    There are a few too many of these mellower numbers to make this a true return to form, but on its high points, Fanatic shows a remarkable energy from a band that could've just coasted into soft-rock oblivion.

    The Wilson sisters ride a late-game hot streak through Fanatic, still living up to their band name.

    Amazing.....the Led Zeppelin of the female world...Goddesses for sure. I have always based my vocals and musical creations after these fine ladies. If it wasn't for them....I might have ended up singing country or something god awful like that. Hail to Heart! Classy, talented ladies of pure rock and roll.… Full Review »
