It is one of several songs the HEART frontwoman recorded last fall in Seattle with the help of local musicians, including current HEART bassist Andy Stoller and keyboardist Dan Walker. In addition to "Black Wing", Wilson recorded "Tender Heart" as well as covers of Steve Earle's "The Revolution Starts Now" and ALICE IN CHAINS' "Rooster", all three of which have already been released as singles, plus another original, "The Hammer", which came out in February. Earlier in the year, Ann said in an interview that there are no plans for HEART to work on new music in the immediate future. HEART toured North America in the summer of 2019 after a nasty split that kept the Wilson sisters estranged for three years. Ann and Nancy had a falling out during HEART's 2016 tour, when Ann's husband Dean Welter was arrested for assaulting Nancy's then-16-year-old twin sons in a backstage altercation at a gig near their hometown of Seattle. He pleaded guilty to two lesser assault charges to avoid jail time. Ann's 2018 solo album, "Immortal", contained cover versions of classic songs by artists who have passed away.
