		Nancy Wilson has gone back to basics with her writing as well, pursuing the philosophy that songwriting, like guitar playing, is less about technique and technology and more about feel and emotion.
		Wilson plays all of the songs on the CD using her combination pick-and-fingerstyle technique, except for "The Rain Song," which is a straight fingerstyle piece.

	NANCY WILSON (Guitar News Weekly #84, April 4, 2000 - (c) GuitarSite.com)

	Nancy Wilson
		She's always been a bit hidden by the overpowering shadow of big sister Ann, but Heart guitarist/ singer Nancy Wilson steps confidently into the light on Live at McCabes Guitar Shop, her first solo album.
		As a singer, Nancy sounds like "Ann Wilson Lite"—the similarities are jarring, but this Wilson sister knows how and when to tone it down.
		Wilson smartly mixes it up here: She introduces some of her own compositions while including some Heart hits like a sexy version of "Even It Up" and a very mellow "These Dreams."

	Nancy Wilson--Live At McCabe's Guitar Shop
		She's a good guitarist, and a more than competent songwriter, but stripped down to just vocals and acoustic guitar, it's her unaffected singing which is the most pleasant surprise on this consistently engaging disc.
		Taped in front of a roomful of invited friends, Wilson is freed from the rock star trappings which brought out her flamboyant guitar flailing tendencies.
		With the release of this unplugged, intimate live record, Nancy finally takes center stage and shows a side of her talents underexposed in Heart's rock catalog, and only glimpsed in her work with the Lovemongers.

	Ann Wilson - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		The �90s saw Ann and Nancy open their own Seattle recording studio, Bad Animals, during which time the area became a breeding ground for countless chart-topping �grunge' outfits, including Alice in Chains, with whom Ann sang with on their 1991 acoustic EP, Sap.
		Ann and Nancy launched a back-to-basics side band soonafter, the Lovemongers - debuting with a cover of Led Zeppelin's �The Battle of Evermore" on the Singles motion picture soundtrack in 1992.
		By the late �60s, Wilson became equally interested in such hard rockers as Led Zeppelin and folk artists as Joni Mitchell, and as a result, her vocals could adapt between the two styles.

	CD Review of Nancy Wilson - R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) on MCG Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		If this really is Nancy Wilson’s last CD before heading into retirement, she has left her fans with a stylish summing-up of her still-intact appeal, for still, her voice is as distinctive and as effective as ever.
		Wilson bookends the CD with songs giving unabashed reference to the pleasures of looking back on a life well lived, “An Older Man Is Like An Elegant Wine” (which she performs with Toots Thielemans and Phil Woods, her contemporaries), and “Blame It On My Youth” (with George Shearing).
		Now that Wilson is ready to hang it all up and retire—or so she hints—she is finally getting her due as one of the influential singers of her generation.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Lush Life
		Still, the most recognizable Nancy Wilson is the one backed by a large string orchestra as on 1967's Lush Life.
		Miss Nancy Wilson would rather call herself a "song stylist" instead of limiting herself to just jazz; certainly that explains her cross-genre appeal to pop and R&B fans.
		Wilson did support herself with a day job as a secretary for a few months before her first LP came out, but then got a gig at the fairly prestigious Blue Morocco nightclub.

		Nancy Wilson [+] has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and RandB.

	THE HEARTLINKER - WWW.HEARTLINKER.NL - ANN & NANCY WILSON HEART LOVEMONGERS
		At set's end, the Wilson sisters repaid their debt to Led Zeppelin with note-perfect covers of "Black Dog" and "The Battle of Evermore." Somewhat sadly, Heart's versions were more passionate than Robert Plant's renditions of Zeppelin material during his recent solo tour.
		In Heart's case, however, the Wilson sisters didn't require rehab stints, song doctors or Hollywood stylists to stage their return - just time and desire.
		And on rockers such as "Kick It Out," Nancy's flowing moves and chugging rhythm guitar work suggested a young Jimmy Page leading a Tae-Bo session.

	mso:Heart biography
		ANN and NANCY developed a taste for the intimate club setting when they formed the Lovemongers, an acoustic side project whose recording of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" was included in the best-selling soundtrack to Singles, a hit film revolving around the Seattle rock scene written and directed by NANCY's husband, Cameron Crowe.
		Overseen by producer and arranger John Paul Jones (the former bassist for Led Zeppelin), the album allows listeners to joyfully reconnect with reinterpretations of the beloved songs of rock's most famous sisters, ANN and NANCY WILSON, and HOWARD LEESE.
		As ANN WILSON says of their inspiration for this project, "I think you have to look at all you've gained through huge success versus doing exactly what you want to do and shutting everything out--you're lucky if you can have the quiet time to do exactly what you want to do.

		Now, it's nothing new for Wilson to chat and tell stories, but during Thursday's performance, she could have used an editor.

		Wilson spent the late '60s doing her fair share of cover material and pop-oriented work that often betrayed her jazz roots and the beauty and intelligence in her voice.
		Even Wilson in great voice couldn't withstand the triple whammy of "They Long to Be (Close to You)," "Long and Winding Road," and "Make It With You." Despite a few missteps, Now I'm a Woman is an important album in Wilson's oeuvre and the Philly sound.
		Wilson shines on "Lonely, Lonely" and "Let's Fall in Love Again"; both benefit from Bobby Martin's patently brassy and sweeping Philly production.
