ToddW.Oct 25, 2007Ann Wilson's talent, creativity, and credibility have lessened in inverse proportion to her weight. She hasn't written a good song in more than 20 years.

SayH.Oct 20, 2007I love Ann Wilson but this disc is Ho-Hum. It's all very tuned down and slow and Ann never gets into her much beloved wail instead focusing on lower vocals that are quite raspy. I'll keep it for collectible sake but the disc is ok but not great.

DianeL.Oct 19, 2007Are you kidding me? This is has to be one of the worst junk I have ever heard! There is Zero talent here! The vocals are horrible! Is this really Ann Wilson from Heart? I like some of the tunes (original) but this is just unbearable to listen to! I shipped this clunker back to Rounder and demanded a refund because it claimed to be from "Ann Wilson of Heart".

TonyZ.Oct 7, 2007Her voice is as strong as ever but more controlled. The duets were well put together resulting in well-rounded harmonies.

JesseGravesSep 28, 2007I wish there was more brooding hard rock, and less country-rock-twinged nostalgia. But as far as guest vocalists are concerned, I'll take KD Lang and Winona over Rufus and Elton. Ann SOUNDS great; long live her passionate heart.

MichaelP.Sep 26, 2007Great album....being a child from the 80's i loved Heart from that generation. Didn't realize other than a couple, these songs were covers. I loved it! It makes such a strong statement and she interprets each song in such a clear manner.

DanaSep 23, 2007I am so surprised, The songs listed didn't seem like it would be as creative as it is. I haven't seen an album this good in years. She has made each one of these songs her own in her own creative way. Its shockingly good!!!!

It's a bleak album to be sure, undoubtedly inspired by the downtrodden national mood of the times in which it was recorded. Ann's voice is strong and convincing on these tunes, largely drawn from the '60s and '70s with a few exceptions.
-
Hope & Glory"--which contains 11 covers and one original--is rich in pleasures, even if it plays more like a highlight reel than a thoroughly imagined work.

Wilson's voice has aged; once-effortless high notes stay out of reach. But like a hard-living blues diva who subs soul for sweetness, Wilson makes those whiskey tones work.
