Right now I&#8217;m in a phase of really feeling like creating some new songs. And I&#8217;ve got songs going on,&#8221; Wilson said. &#8220;But I feel like this is the perfect time for\u00a0Heart \u2014 this year, next year \u2014 to make a victory lap out of our legacy. So I figure we need to make one more\u00a0Heart album.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/2026-rock-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\">2026&#8217;s Biggest Rock Tours<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson also praised the current heart lineup, which features members of Ann&#8217;s solo band Tripsitter. &#8220;And especially with these players that we have in the lineup right now in this band, we&#8217;re just really excited to play together, and there&#8217;s no limits on what we could pull off as musicians,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So I&#8217;ve got a few songs, and Ann&#8217;s working with those guys in her side band right now writing other songs. But I think I&#8217;m gonna want to make the last\u00a0Heart album and do the victory lap and make 2027 mainly about the\u00a0Heart film, the\u00a0Heart documentary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What to Expect From the In-Progress Heart Biopic<\/h3>\n<p>A Heart biopic, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/ann-wilson-heart-biopic\/\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly been in the works for years<\/a>, is now close to fruition, according to Wilson \u2014 and it&#8217;s got some big names attached to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a big movie, and we&#8217;ve got a final draft soon to read that Carrie Brownstein, actually [is working on] \u2014 she did <em>Portlandia<\/em>, of\u00a0Sleater-Kinney fame \u2014 she&#8217;s a buddy and she&#8217;s a good writer too,&#8221;\u00a0Wilson said. &#8220;And we&#8217;ve been working mainly with her &#8230; And it&#8217;s so weird too, &#8217;cause you kind of have to go, well, OK, who would be the actor that plays you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wilson had some casting ideas too. She\u00a0named Elle Fanning (of\u00a0<em>The Great<\/em> and\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/a-complete-unknown\/\" target=\"_blank\">A Complete Unknown<\/a><\/em> fame, among others) as a\u00a0candidate to play her, and she suggested <em>Midsommar<\/em> star\u00a0Florence Pugh\u00a0could play her sister.<\/p>\n<h3>Nancy Wilson Still Loves Making Music \u2014 but Says Touring Is &#8216;Entirely Exhausting&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>Clearly, there&#8217;s still work to be done for Heart, as the rockers will launch the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/heart-2026-tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\">2026 leg of their Royal Flush tour<\/a> on Sunday.\u00a0But Wilson confessed that the road has lost some of its luster over the years.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the\u00a0idea of a &#8220;victory lap&#8221; seemed weird, she said: &#8220;Kind of, but then as the grandchildren start arriving? Not as crazy to think about doing less of the big rock tour. I mean, it&#8217;s entirely exhausting to do that travel. And when you&#8217;re not quite as young and rubbery as you always were, going through almost 50 years-ish of doing that, you really get paid for the travel on those rock tours.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The show itself is the thrill \u2014 the million thrills and the glory and that magic thing,&#8221;\u00a0Wilson added. &#8220;I would do that for free, and I probably will end up doing music somehow for as long as I can live. But the tour part, it&#8217;s really rough on you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Watch Nancy Wilson on &#8216;Andy Frasco&#8217;s World Saving Podcast&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><i>See\u00a0our ranking of Heart albums from worst to best below:<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">Heart Albums Ranked  <\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>This list of Heart Albums, Ranked Worst To Best, wasn&#8217;t an easy one to compile, because unlike many long-running groups, the band has never made a bad record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Annie Zaleski<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=162&#038;gver=9&#038;bid=295&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DmxuuNIMSzp6MHphJEoAGlLFQ3qmwQguzkGZl&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/nancy-wilson-one-more-heart-album\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nancy Wilson said she wants to make one more Heart album and take a &#8220;victory lap&#8221; to celebrate the band&#8217;s half-century legacy alongside her&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":58114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
