LITA FORD
has teamed up with producer Gary Hoey and lyricist Michael Dan Ehmig to
work on 'Living Like A Runaway'. Together the team invested a lot of
time and effort into this kick ass project: "We worked on the lyrics
intensively to really give the songs a lot of meaning and that special
emotional depth. I think that these are some of the best lyrics ever,
period. FORD is referring to numbers such as "Devil In My Head",
"Hate", and "The Asylum" which see her bare her soul in a way which she
has never done before.
Following
the demise of the Runaways, LITA FORD concentrated on her own career
and now looks back on many memorable hits including: the chart topping
duet with Ozzy Osbourne "Close Your Eyes Forever" "What Do You Know About Love", "Shot Of Poison", "Larger Than Life" and "Kiss Me Deadly". With the release of 'Living Like A Runaway', expect many more songs to be added to the list of hits.
Coinciding with the album's release, LITA is hitting the road this summer with Def Leppard and Poison on the "Rock of Ages Tour". In addition to the dates with Def Leppard and Poison, LITA has confirmed additional headlining shows during the run.

Unlike many albums today, 'Living Like a Runaway' is an album that truly must be heard in its entirety from start to finish. "Listeners shouldn't pick out individual tracks but listen to the full album," says FORD. "It's a fascinating musical journey, inspired by Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'. I had seen a documentary about 'Dark Side of the Moon' and it really motivated me to focus on 'Living Like a Runaway' as a whole journey rather just an individual song.

The album will be available in four configurations: a double LP, limited edition CD, standard CD and digital download.
"This CD is truly a dream come true. It took me one year to write this CD along with Producer Gary Hoey and song writing Partner Michael Dan Ehming. We have dumped out hearts and souls into this amazing CD. Along with a lot of tears, pain, heartache, laughter, ripping out hair, going hungry,losing sleep and a lot of frequent flyer miles. :) !!!
"Living Like a Runaway, is like being able to walk through fire and coming out the other side unscathed."
Coinciding with the album's release, LITA is hitting the road this summer with DEF LEPPARD and POISON on the "Rock of Ages Tour". The dates for the first leg of the tour have been announced and are listed below. More dates are expected to be announced soon.
LITA is looking forward to the tour and getting to play the NEW songs live:
"We are honored with this awesome tour and being able to play with these brilliant musicians. So strap in tight, it's going to be one powerful journey."
Best known for her work with The Runaways and her solo career, featuring hit singles "Kiss Me Deadly" and the Billboard charting duet "Close My Eyes Forever" with Ozzy Osbourne, LITA is ready to make a return to the throne as the queen of Metal.

Legendary female Metal icon Lita Ford has signed a worldwide deal with SPV/Steamhammer. Her NEW album entitled 'Living Like A Runaway' is tentatively set for a May 2012 release. Best known for her work with The Runaways and her solo career, featuring hit singles "Kiss Me Deadly" and the Billboard charting duet "Close My Eyes Forever" with Ozzy Osbourne, Lita is ready to make a return to the throne as the queen of Metal:
"SPV gets who I am, my work, and what it takes to bring this project to life. I'm very excited to have them on my team," says Lita.
Lita also spoke about her work with Gary Hoey on the album and the meaning of the album's title:
"Gary Hoey and I wanted to approach this record by getting back to basics. We want to strip away all the electronics and plug-ins and keep it to vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. Going back to basics is going back to what Punk, Metal and The Runways was for me.
"'Living Like A Runaway' means freedom and empowerment. To do what I want and to pursue my dreams while answering to no one."
SPV A&R Representative/Product Manager Olly Hahn commented on the signing of Lita Ford:
"When I bought "Dancin' On The Edge" back in 1984 I never thought that I would ever sign Lita Ford to a label. But a dream of mine came true and it's a huge honor for us at SPV/Steamhammer to have one of the leading women in Rock N' Roll on our label."
What do Lita Ford, Max Cavalera (Soulfly & Cavalera Conspiracy), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Andrew W.K., Mark Morton (Lamb Of God) and Johnny Kelly (Type O -) have in common? Yes, they are all part of famous Heavy Music bands. But we bet you had no idea that they know some pretty killer food recipes. How do we know? Well, they are all featured on a brand new book called "Mosh Potatoes" by Steve Seabury.
One thing that we all have in common, no matter where we come from or what music we like, is that we all love food. Specially during the holidays. Take Thanksgiving for example, the entire holiday is centered around eating a vast amount of food with our loved ones. Or how about when you go to a concert or to a sporting event? Part of the experience is to get a $10 hot dog and to pretend that its the best hot dog ever!
With "Mosh Potatoes", Steve Seabury is taking his career as a headbanger to another level, and not only did he write a kick-ass recipe book, but he also added a twist of his biggest passions: Food, Beer, and Heavy Music! Remember: Life without food, would be just as bad as life without Heavy "kick you in the face" Music! \m/
Here are some selected quotes from some of the artists involved in Steve Seabury's "Mosh Potatoes":
"Keep a copy of Mosh Potatoes in your kitchen and your guitar case to make sure your culinary desires are well tended to both at home and on the road" -Dave Ellefson (MEGADETH)
"Mosh Potatoes is the book to get your pit on, the BBQ pit! Killing in the kitchen!" -Bobby Blitz (OVERKILL)
"Mosh Potatoes is damn hot that Satan himself would get out of the kitchen!" -Morgan Lander (KITTIE)
