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.
