I've heard that Heart's album Jupiter's Moons is a return to peak form. I haven't heard it properly yet, but probably will do so.
Who else?

It's
Jupiter's Darling, actually.
But I agree- that is easily Heart's best album ever. Usually with Heart you get a few killer tracks and a bunch of filler. But
Jupiter's Darling is just solid through and through; this is by far Nancy Wilson's best material.
I think Carly Simon should be commended too. Since the turn of the century she has released two excellent original studio albums, a (relatively mediocre) standards album, an album of lullabies (pretty good) and a decent Christmas album including a handful of original songs. And this summer she is releasing an album of re-worked acoustic-ish arrangements of her classic songs. Not bad for someone who is almost 64! Take that, Stevie!
