On July 29, 2008, Grammy® award-winning singer/songwriter Rick Springfield released his new album Venus In Overdrive on New Door Records/UMe. The album is Rick’s first full-length new studio work of original material since the 2004 critically acclaimed shock/denial/anger/acceptance. More upbeat and fun than the dark and introspective shock/denial/anger/acceptance, Venus In Overdrive marks a return to Rick’s pop/rock roots. Venus In Overdrive is simultaneously classic and current -- and definitely the music fans have loved since Rick’s distinctive canine companion Lethal Ron first graced the cover of his classic album Working Class Dog.
