Heart Reveals Cover Art and Details for New Album

The Wilson sisters are calling their new effort and the band’s 14th studio album ‘Fanatic,’ which is slated for an October 2nd release via Legacy.

The album was produced by Ben Mink and the 10-song album was recorded "in hotel rooms and studios up and down the West Coast." The song ‘Walkin’ Good’ is a duet with pop singer Sarah McLachlan.
