This was the LP that put her among the elite of the female rockers in the mid ’80s. An all time favorite female Hard Rock / Metal singer. She had a big following in Canada and Europe. Lee had the looks, the voice and certainly the band behind her to do great things, so the music is outstanding, especially because it is added by Bob Ezrin (Kiss, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, etc) producing talents.
still The Metal Queen
you think you’ve heard great girl singers? you haven’t heard nothing till you’ve heard this gal! very curious that she never broke through and became a hell of a lot more recognized. Acts like Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Whitesnake etc were the big guns and the industry was right behind them. Lee, being a rock chick herself, was always gonna play second fiddle to these acts. Could this girl sing! Just listen to that one AMAZING song that highlights this voice like no other: ‘barely holding on’ which is THE greatest rock ballad ever recorded. The power, expression and anguish in Lee’s voice here just has to be heard to be believed. in fact i would say that this is the greatest vocal performance by a female of any song EVER! – don’t believe me? well then, you’d better go buy this album, turn it up, and find out for yourself. its the reason why i give this album 5 stars. nothing else on it comes close in terms of quality but this track is just so essential that it warrants the rating.
girl power? yeah, i hate that term too, created as it was by a bunch of businessmen to promote their worthless act. but if girl=power is what you want then this is IT! Criminally overlooked and under-rated. a contender for the best female rock vocalist ever.
TV performance (Live – ECT) in London UK, starts with “Hot To Be Rocked”:
This is the best LP to own by Aaron. Released in 1985, this album packs a punch from start to finish. Lee has such a great voice and every song lives with energy and the guitar-work is excellent. This is a must buy album for 80’s fans or Lee Aaron fans. Here’s my break down of this album.
