Heart's Nancy Wilson Reveals More Details About Debut Solo Album

Heart's Nancy Wilson has revealed that her debut solo album, You and Me, will be out on May 7 via Carry On Music.

Wilson recorded the LP in her California home studio, with band members and guest musicians, including Liv Warfield, Duff McKagan, Sammy Hagar and Taylor Hawkins, joining remotely.

"Being off the road last year from touring with HEART, and at home with my good guitars and amps out, I felt like I was once again able to reconnect with my pre-HEART self, my college-girl self, creating poetic, intimate and romantic songs, which pretty much is what I first brought in to HEART," Wilson said in a press release.

"I don't know why it took me so long to do this," she confessed. "Maybe I was stuck in traffic, maybe I was stuck in the Heart vortex of it all."

The 12-track You and Me album, which contains eight originals, also includes Wilson's covers of Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising," Pearl Jam's "Daughter," The Cranberries' "Dreams" and Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer," featuring Hagar.

Wilson also said that she will release the title track, which she co-wrote with longtime collaborator Sue Ennis, on March 8.

Questlove To Direct New Sly Stone Documentary

MRC Non-Fiction announced on Friday (February 19) that Questlove will be directing a new documentary on funk titan Sly Stone.

According to the announcement, the doc will follow the musician "who was breaking all the rules at a time when doing so was extremely challenging, even dangerous. The pressure of explosive mainstream pop success and the responsibility of representing Black America forced him to walk the fine line of impossible expectations."

"It goes beyond saying that Sly's creative legacy is in my DNA.. It's a Black musician's blueprint.. To be given the honor to explore his history and legacy is beyond a dream for me," Questlove said in a press release.

Questlove is producing the documentary with his partners Zarah Zohlman and Shawn Geehis under their Two One Five Entertainment banner. Common will be serving as an executive producer. The release date of the film has not yet been announced.

Sly Stone co-founded Sly and the Family Stone in San Francisco in 1966. Although the band enjoyed huge success, Sly Stone struggled due to substance misuse and has been trying hard to recover millions of dollars in royalty payments.

Dee Snider Blasts 'Arrogant' And 'Elitist' Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has criticized the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Committee as "arrogant" and "elitist."

Snider blasted the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's system of voting and its aversion to heavy metal rock music in a Twitter post.

"The RnR Hall committee members are arrogant elitist as**oles who look down on metal & other bands that sell millions because we're not their definition of cool," he tweeted on Monday.

"The fan vote is their 'throwing a bone' to the peasants," according to the 65-year-old singer-songwriter, radio personality and actor. "I want to say FU, but I want them to have to deal with us."

Snider alleged that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are largely decided by Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner, whom he described as "the puppet master since day one."
