Desire Walks On


Desire Walks On is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Heart. It was released on November 16, 1993, by Capitol Records. The majority of the album was co-written by lead members Ann and Nancy Wilson. It is Heart's final studio album to feature longtime member Howard Leese, who, aside from the Wilson sisters, is the band's longest-serving member. Layne Staley, lead vocalist of the Seattle grunge band Alice in Chains, sings with the Wilson sisters on the cover of Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells".
The album peaked at number number 48 on the US Billboard 200, and on August 24, 1995, it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, denoting shipments of 500,000 copies in the United States. Desire Walks On spawned three charting singles: "Will You Be There ", which reached number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Black on Black II", a cover of a Dalbello song originally recorded for the 9 1/2 Weeks movie soundtrack which peaked at number four on Billboards Mainstream Rock chart, and "The Woman in Me", which peaked at number 24 on Billboards Adult Contemporary chart. "Back to Avalon" was released to radio and spent three weeks on the country airplay chart, Heart's only track to do so.
The original 1993 European release and the 2001 US re-release were expanded to add Spanish-language versions of "The Woman in Me" and "Will You Be There ", the latter in a remixed format.
