Jeb Wright at Classic Rock Revisited recently caught up with LITA FORD to discuss her comeback, a new album in the works, and her nasty divorce from ex-NITRO vocalist Jim Gillette. An excerpt is available below:

Jeb: On your site you said that the real comeback album from Lita Ford is coming soon. What does that mean??

Lita: "The last album I did was called Wicked Wonderland, I put it out with Jim Gillette, and we were married at the time. It is kind of a Jim/Lita album and not a really true Lita album. I got a lot of schpeel about that. A lot of people have told me that they want a real Lita album, and I know what they mean. They are going to get it."

Jeb: I didn’t mind that album. It was really heavy. I liked 'Patriotic' a lot. It was a little bit noticeable that you were trying to be something you’re not comfortable with.

Lita: "I really wasn’t that comfortable with that record, not at all, to tell you the truth. There are parts of it that are good but it doesn’t sound like a Lita record. When it got released, a lot of my fans felt weird about it and said it wasn’t a Lita album. This time I want to do it on my own. The last one turned out to be more of a Jim album. We worked pretty well together. It doesn’t suck, it’s not a bad album; it’s just not a Lita album."

Jeb: You have been through the emotional wringer with your divorce from Jim. As a songwriter does that help when it comes to writing music?

Lita: "It really does. It has really helped me to write a lot of stuff. I am writing with some other songwriters and it has helped them too. There are songs about love, songs about hate and songs about missing someone."

Jeb: Does the attack you give a guitar solo get influenced by what emotions you are going through?

Lita: "If you write an angry song then you want to have an angry solo. It is true. It has to suite the song. If you have a song about crying then you are going to have a guitar solo that cries, like they did on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. If you have a song about how much you hate someone then you need to have a hateful solo. You let the guitar do the talking, kind of like how Joe Perry says, 'Let the music do the talking.'"
