It may only be February, but Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson has already had a busy 2021.
Back in January, she unveiled her first-ever collaboration with Epiphone, the Nighthawk-influenced Fanatic signature guitar.
Now, Wilson is gearing up to release her first-ever solo album, You and Me. Set for a May 7 release via Carry On Music, the album will feature guest spots from the likes of Sammy Hagar, Duff McKagan, Taylor Hawkins, and Liv Warfield.
You can check out its first single, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising," below.
Additionally, the album closes with a tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen. Titled “4 Edward,” the piece was inspired by an interaction Wilson had with Eddie when Heart was on tour with Van Halen.
Having asked Eddie why he never played an acoustic on stage, Eddie replied that he didn't even own an acoustic guitar. Wilson soon fixed that, gifting Eddie an acoustic that he would use to write a song that "stole Wilson's heart." “4 Edward” is Wilson's way of returning the favor.
