Lee Aaron - Call Of The Wild (1985)

Lee Aaron was one of those heavy metal girls that adorned many a heavy metal fans wall. A lot of heavy metal kids probably weren't interested in her music, but instead drooled over her wet n' wild looks, same goes for Gypsy Queen, Lita Ford et al, but despite mostly negative press, these gals were hard rockers. 'Call Of The Wild' may contain the usual sultry innuendo and steamy imagery, but it's still a relatively heavy album, given more depth by some fantastic guitar work courtesy of John Albani who gives some real weight to tracks like opener 'Rock Me All Over' although some songs do succumb to too many keyboards, for instance, 'Runnin From The Fire,' despite Lee's fiery breath, has a touch of cheese about it, but the title track is a real groover, boasting a killer buzzing riff. A majority of the twelve (eleven if you own the vinyl)tracks on offer are pretty decent, and they all attempt to let their hair down, providing the listener with something far more wholesome. Hats off to drummer Jerry Mercy for some heavy drum work, and of course a big thanks to Lee Aaron for giving female metal balls. 7/10
