I fell in love with Anne Wilson's music when I listened to her debut album, My Jesus, when it first came out on CD. So, when I found out this spring that she had another album coming out I was pretty excited. And Rebel more than delivered on my expectations! It is a strong album all around without a single 'meh' song. There are plenty of heartfelt moments that are both poignant and sweet to be heard and the topics run the gamut in these songs. My personal favorites are the defiant faith-filled Rebel and Red Flag which is perfect for all of us single girls regardless of age. Southern Gospel was also a fun one that I enjoyed. I've never been a big country music fan but Anne Wilson's presentation of the genre is so different, she addresses that one pretty well in Songs About Whiskey, that I couldn't help but play the entire Rebel album over and over. The fact that these songs encourage faith and uplift the listener couldn't be better as they blend with the sound that country music fans know and love. I totally enjoyed Rebel and I sincerely hope to be hearing more from Anne Wilson in the future....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Rebel from Anne Wilson a 4.5 Bark rating.
known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, recently released REBEL, fusing the heart of Contemporary
Christian Music with the sound of Country. A bold musical statement with an even bolder message of faith, REBEL features her
hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain In The Rearview” as well as chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong.” The
genre-bending album follows her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut My Jesus, with the title track becoming a PLATINUM-certified
No. 1 hit on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over 900M global streams, made her Grand Ole
Opry debut and wrapped her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch,
one of CMT's Next Women of Country and a 2024 Opry NextStage Artist, she has made high-profile appearances on TODAY
and ACM Honors, while earning her first-ever CMT Music Awards nomination, as well as a Billboard Music Award.
Unapologetically real, Wilson approaches her craft with a purpose and conviction that sets her apart, declaring, “I am who I am --
I'm Anne Wilson. I love God and that's my everything, but I love Country music, too, and I can have a beautiful mix of both.”
