Then, in between those tours, we&#8217;ve been in the studio working on the new album.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The record is being produced by Ben Mink, who&#8217;s worked with\u00a0k.d. lang,\u00a0Barenaked Ladies and Heart singer Ann Wilson on her solo album. &#8220;Ben is just incredibly talented. He plays fiddle and anything with strings on it. It&#8217;s sort of like playing with someone we&#8217;ve worked with all our lives,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It&#8217;s a beautiful match and we&#8217;re really enjoying the whole process this time. He&#8217;s someone we&#8217;ve been romancing for quite a while. He&#8217;s got the sound that we&#8217;re looking for now, and have been for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That sound is a return to the band&#8217;s &#8217;70s analog roots. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been approaching it on a really human level. There&#8217;s not a digital construct anywhere,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We are putting up baffles and playing together at the same time: drums, bass and guitars, all at once, in the same room, looking at each other and jiving off each other, so that it&#8217;s really a conversation in process. It&#8217;s not painting by colors &#8212; it&#8217;s a performance, a conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As far as a completion date for the as-yet-untitled album goes, Wilson says the band is pretty close to finishing. &#8220;We only have a couple more songs to record. We have 10 songs pretty much ready. It shouldn&#8217;t take us much longer. I hope to finish it all up and we&#8217;ll put it out in the spring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanx to phoco4!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spinner.com: Nancy Wilson recently released\u00a0an album of children&#8217;s lullabies, &#8216;Baby Guitars,&#8217; but the\u00a0Heart guitarist assures Spinner that she&#8217;s also been playing with her old bandmates,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[43],"class_list":["post-1307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heartlinker","tag-red-velvet-car"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2040,"url":"https:\/\/www.heartlinker.nl\/?p=2040","url_meta":{"origin":1307,"position":0},"title":"Red Velvet Car Bio by David Wild","author":"TDHS","date":"July 3, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"HEART -\u00a0RED VELVET CAR BIO (by David Wild) as posted on Heart\u00b4s MySpace Red Velvet Car -- the most personal and powerful work yet from Ann and Nancy Wilson -- takes generations of Heart fans on what truly feels like the musical ride of a lifetime.
