It seems as if all is right once again in the world of rock music. Lita Ford is back in concert and in the studio with a new album. An industrious force not only in the rock world, but also in her own family, Lita knows a thing or two about balancing a work load. Her first album in fifteen years will be released in just a week, but there’s more – a comic book, a video game, and a movie are also in the works. In this interview, Lita discusses her re-entry into the world of music, the writing process of her new album, her time in Sturgis at the Buffalo Chip, the upcoming tour with Queensryche, and everything in between. Husband Jim Gillette even joins in on the fun.

Why the comeback? As Lita put it in her own words, “fifteen years ago I left an empty pair of shoes…so I’m back to fill them.” Indeed when listening to her music, and to this interview, it becomes clear why no one could ever fill the shoes of the Queen of Metal.

A special thanks goes out to Terry Wang at Shock Ink, and of course to Lita and Jim for the fun chat. Connect with Lita Ford on her official website (www.litaxx.tv), her MySpace page (myspace.com/litaford), and on Twitter (twitter.com/litaford). And of course, watch for Wicked Wonderland, the new album, in stores and online October 6.
