Chrissy Steele - Magnet To Steel (1991)

I'm sure a lot of metalhead's would have leered at Chrissy when she appeared in the metal press, but how many of those buffoon's would have spent their well earned pocket money on the record ? Those who mocked such female rock - in my opinion anyway - would have missed a half decent, middle of the road rock record. Okay, so it's not the aggression of Meldrum, or even Phantom Blue for that matter, there's something very sultry about it all, the rodeo rock of the title track is perfect drive time mood music, and I can also imagine cuts such as 'Cry Myself To Sleep' on late night radio. Chrissy does have a steady behind her hwoever, and probably a few accomplished song writers too, so I'd happily place this alongside Femme Fatale as being a slab of ballsy bitch rock, so good on her. 6.5/10
