In a new episode with ”Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, Lita Ford talked about her upcoming new album, where she worked again with producer and guitarist Gary Hoey.
Lita said:
“[Gary] and I have been working back and forth on this new record for quite a few years now. It’s been a process. But what I do is when I have an idea, I call Gary, I call his wife Nicole, and I’m, like, ‘Nicole, does Gary have a break in his schedule? When can I come over?’ And she’s, like, ‘You can come in April. We can get you in for 10 days.’ And so [I go], ‘Okay. Book me in.’
”So I get on the plane, and I fly to Gary‘s house, which is on the East Coast. And Gary and I lock ourselves in his awesome studio, which has this great vibe, and we come out of there with the best stuff. And he’s such a great guitar player, and he has so many great ideas, and I take my ideas to Gary. You need somebody to bounce your ideas off of. It doesn’t matter what you do; you’ve gotta have somebody to bounce your ideas off of. Gary‘s the guy.”
If the new album is now completely done, Lita said:
“Gary and I, we’ve been working together for quite a long time on this record. And we’ve encountered all kinds of experiences through this record, like death and drug addiction and hardcore illnesses — just different people involved in the project. It’s just been, like, ‘Woah.’
”And then traveling back and forth, and touring, and just trying to put together the right album with the right lyrics. And Gary and I, at the end of it all, we sat back and listened to the record and just said, ‘You know, this is some of the best guitar playing I think I’ve heard in decades.’ And I’m not blowing smoke up my own a*s, but Gary and I just nailed it with the guitar playing on this record.”
