HEART's Ann Wilson has released a standalone single, a cover of "The Revolution Starts Now" by Americana legend Steve Earle.

This is my first release since my 2018 solo album release, Immortal,” Wilson said if the song, the title track to Earle's 2004 album, in a statement. “‘The Revolution Starts Now' is a powerful, uplifting anthem of unity. It’s an incitement to think higher than polarization and derision. We need that now. I used to love this song in a ‘fun’ way. Nowadays, I take it much more seriously and urgently.

Wilson added that she and her sister Nancy are waiting until there is a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to the road. In the meantime, she's been quarantining with her husband in Florida, although they recently drove across the country to conduct sessions in Seattle, and trying to get used to the new normal.

Coincidentally, Nancy is prepping a solo album for next year. The first single, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising" that was also inspired by current headlines, arrives this Friday (Oct. 23).
