Interesting; this has been out for a couple weeks already as a hi-res download. Never saw an hr dl beat the cd release date before. Standard & lossy downloads, yes; but not hi-res.
I haven't heard it, but I've seen it on a couple of the legal sites.

Huge fan of Heart and the Wilson Sisters here, but apart from "Don't Give Up," this EP is dreadful. I could barely get through the two original songs and do not plan a second attempt to do so. I'll stick with "Beautiful Broken" as my Heart fix for this summer.

Thx for the warning! I used to be a bigger fan then I am now. While I have the 2 Mushrooms (both versions of Magazine), all the CBS albums & a few of the later ones, I could live with just Dreamboat Annie & the 3.0 3 disc Essential set today. There was a time I was a completest.

just finished listening to both ann wilson thing albums on spotify............i must say that i am very under-whelmed by this mess.
the woman has a great voice, why on earth must she scream like she does and man does she scream a whole hell of a lot on these, and even worse why bury that voice in the mix, or distort it (danger zone)?
very very disappointed.
stick with heart's "beautiful broken" and leave these 2 in the bins.
