EPISODE SUMMARY:

There's few things as satisfying as learning about who an artistic legend respects and admires. And few musicians in history have had the career that Ann Wilson, lead singer of the legendary woman-led rock band Heart, has had. So to know that one of her favorite albums is folk rocker Lucinda Williams' 1998 sleeper hit Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is both fascinating and raises some interesting questions, as surely both artists have had significant influence on each other.
