There is no shame in the singing of Ann Wilson of Heart. Feet planted squarely, hand on microphone, she anticipates the bigness of notes to come, then still sings them in such an overwhelming fashion that they appear to knock her off her center. Many times at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Tuesday night she took a pause, howled a few lines in a manner that would have impressed even Meat Loaf, then took another pause, needing to refocus.
It happened toward the end of “Alone,” one of Heart’s biggest hits. The arrangement was quieter and more measured than the original, which only spotlighted Ms. Wilson’s histrionics more aggressively: a class in vocal theatrics.

“Although they have been touring and recording music for over 30 years, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart are currently on tour promoting their 13th album Red Velvet Car, and have never sounded—and even looked—more vibrant on stage. Attending the show at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on August 3, this was my first time seeing the iconic ladies take to the stage.

The ladies prove why they still have it.” More from this review from KURB-FM
