Billboard.com: | new album out in 2012 | 8 demos so far | Ben Mink is on board | might be road tested on this current tour | biography out in 2012 |
[…] “We’ve got most of it written already,” Wilson says. “We’re writing again and working on songs with (‘Red Velvet Car’) producer Ben Mink. This time we’re gonna go a little more heavy rock, a little more electric guitar. And so far so good; I think there’s some really amazing songs already.” Wilson says the sisters and Mink have demoed “about eight songs already,” working “in various hotel rooms…with microphones and his laptop and a couple of speakers and some guitars and notebooks. Me and Ann work on stuff independently of each other and we bring our notebooks, and (Mink) brings musical ideas, too, and we write together and just put everything together.” Heart — which this year celebrates the 35th anniversary of its debut album, “Dreamboat Annie” — hasn’t previewed any of the new songs yet during its summer tour with Def Leppard, but Wilson expects to play something new before the trek wraps Oct. 29 in Australia. “It’s not unlikely that we would probably road test something in the course of the summer,” she predicts. “We’re still kind of polishing and buffing the rough demos so far, but we’re getting excited.” Heart expects to hit the studio “as soon as the tour is done…and hopefully we can have everything recorded by Christmas.”

Busy and creative times! Very interesting how they work during the tour. Maybe the tour itself inspires to create new songs.
Exciting! Can’t wait to hear new stuff, its so great that they still have the inspiration to create new music…a testament to how creative the Wilson sisters are and I hope the well never runs dry :)
I’m realllly looking forward to their book tho, maybe more than a new album. I love their story so much and love reading about their early days :)
