LITA FORD – A Taste Of “Wicked Wonderland”

“Everybody has their own Wicked Wonderland,” adds Lita. “It’s a place where you can do whatever you want and get as freaky as you feel. These songs are my version of that – they’re all about my life…well, the parts that happen when the kids are in bed and my husband and I get into the boudoir.”

“This is definitely the heaviest stuff I’ve ever recorded,” Lita says. I’ve evolved and matured as a person and so has my music. It’s lyrically very real.”

“Wicked Wonderland” was mainly recorded at the island home she and husband Jim Gillette share with their two boys.

“We recorded all the vocals and lead guitars at home with Jim engineering and I wouldn’t have been near as comfortable recording with anyone else,” says Lita. “Jim and I are soul mates and we’re just about joined at the hip. It’s almost like the stuff they say about twins — we’re always finishing each others sentences and doing the same things musically. There were times when I’d listen back to a song and be like ‘which one of us is that anyway?’”

The legendary rocker took some time out recently to write this blog to her fans:

Just arrived in Greece.
Have show here on Tuesday.
Played last night in Italy.
Italy has a very special place in my heart.
My mom is from Rome.
Awesome show – the audience was amazing!
