Fierce Bliss

Heart icon Ann Wilson has kept quite busy in recent months with a series of solo releases, and it’s apparently all been building to the upcoming April 29th, 2022, release of "Fierce Bliss", a brand new studio album that was just officially announced. Album artwork for "Fierce Bliss" was conceptualized by Roger Dean, whose renowned fantasy art has adorned album covers for prog rock masters Yes over the years.

Wilson says, “I was recommended people to me that knew people in Nashville, so I met these guys like famed Nashville session guitarist Tom Bukovac and Tony Lucido at those Muscle Shoals Sound Studio sessions. I’d never met them before, and they really inspired me. It was like a big door opening. With the musical chemistry organically established, 'Fierce Bliss' came together quickly. I had originally intended to go in, record a few songs and see what I had, but it just took on this life. At Sound Stage in Nashville, Kenny Wayne Shepherd came in and played on a couple songs. He was a whole other influence coming in. He just played his butt off, and with the gospel singers and everything else coming together, the whole project just started to grow. I’d known Warren Haynes from Gov’t Mule for a while. We’d written a couple songs together with Gov’t Mule playing, and those rounded out the record. So all of a sudden, where there was no record before, suddenly I had 11 cool songs that I really liked.”
