Nancy Wilson told us that Heart has always opted on being an active creative force — rather than playing it safe by just being a touring nostalgia act: “Y’know you’re really driven — I think if you’re an artistic soul, then you’re driven to do your art; And if you only care money, then you’re not. Then you’re driven to only tour and do the old hits forever, y’know? I think we’re pretty artistic about it. We’re really happy to still be able to enjoy going out and playing live as well as be creative and be writers.”

“We chose the three (songs from the new album) that we thought would translate the best live, and surprise surprise, they’re really going well,” Wilson said. “Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t because fans (only) go to see us perform ‘Barracuda’ and ‘Crazy on You.’ In the past, they’ve chosen those ‘new song moments’ to go buy a beer.”

Sony Legacy to release “Red Velvet Car” by Heart

New picture!

New picture!

Red Velvet Car will be released on Sony Legacy, according to this article! Thanx to Seattleboy for this great news! In the meanwhile Heart’s management has confirmed it’s the label for “Red Velvet Car”!

The band is touring to drum up anticipation for their upcoming 13th studio album, Red Velvet Car, scheduled for release this summer on Sony Legacy. “I like to say we went to the University of Ben Mink,” says Wilson of the recording of Red Velvet Carunder the Canadian producer. “There’s a level he expects and likes to achieve that took us farther musically, I think, than we’ve gone for a long time, and we were ready to go there.” Mink, the longtime collaborator of k.d. lang, had worked on Ann Wilson’s solo album Hope & Glory in 2006. As with that album, he helped the sisters craft songs for Red Velvet Car that used warmer, old-fashioned tube amps, and encouraged the band to cut as much of the music live in the studio as possible. ”That’s kind of one of the more missing-in-action things these days in music,” says Wilson. “It’s the sound of people having a musical conversation together at the same time so that its not a digital construct of a digital conversation. It’s an actual conversation with people responding to each other as players. The release of Red Velvet Car will be accompanied by a concert DVD of the same name, featuring live performances of several of the new songs as well ’70s rockers like “Magic Man” and “Crazy on You” and ’80s chart hits like “Alone” and “What About Love.” The DVD also features a guest appearance by Allison Krauss, who sings on “These Dreams” and a version of “Your Long Journey” off of her Robert Plant collaboration Raising Sand.

Also a new picture can be seen on thefair.com, where you also find news about their September 25th performance on the Puyallup Fair in Washington State.
