MyGlobalMind.com's Mark Dean has issued a new interview conducted with LITA FORD, who discusses her new live album, The Bitch Is Back... Live, and more. An excerpt follows:

Q: The Bitch Is Back is your first live release since 2000. What prompted this, was it due to record company contractual obligations or a personal decision?

A: "There was no special reason. We just wanted to dedicate an album to the fans, coming back into the music industry after being gone for so long. We just wanted to give the fans something, this was an album that was put together by the fans and created by the fans. In particular for the artwork they all submitted photographs and their names are listed inside the artwork. It’s pretty cool and the actual recording of the album was taken from a single show and totally live. Have you had a chance to listen to it at all?

Q: I have indeed, managed to get it a few weeks ago and I think its great. Good balance between the hits and also the new material from the most recent studio release.

A: "It’s meant to be intimate, and in your face. It’s not a record that we recorded different shows from different venues and pieced them together. It’s all one show, there is no backing tracks, there is no overdubs afterwards. We didn’t go back in the studio and re-record anything. It’s just a raw live, high energy record. We wanted the audience-the listeners to be able to feel like they were in the audience when they listen to the record. That’s really the main goal behind a live record, you want the people to feel like they are there. We recorded it in a little club in the canyons, in California rather than record it in a large arena. We went into the Canyon Club,so the band really sound like they are in your face.”
