Lee Aaron - Metal Queen (Attic Records) 1984īack in 1985 or so, I stumbled across this obscure LP by Lee Aaron titled "Metal Queen" on Canada's Attic Records at a little record store in Trenton called The Record Collector. This album is a solid rock 'n' roll album. Thankfully Aaron's debut isn't packed full of sappy ballads and corny 80's pop. The album ends with a melodic rocker with another hooky, sing-along chorus called "Took Your Heart Away". "I Like My Rock Hard" is a song full of pre-pubescent sexual innuendos, the lyrics reminding me of one of Kiss' worst songs, "(You Make Me) Rock Hard." "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" is the Willie Dixon classic that was a hit in the 70's for Foghat. Songs like "Under Your Spell" and "Should Have Known" are enjoyable, hooky hard rockers. Aaron has a slightly raspy voice that works well with her brand of melodic hard rock. It's guitar based hard rock with hooky choruses. Though some have dubbed her "the Metal Queen", the music contained herein is hardly heavy metal, even by 1970's standards. "Project" is a very 70's sounding hard rock album, having much in common with artists like Rick Derringer, Pat Travers and Pat Benetar. Some re-issues, including the Undisc Music re-issue I own, have actually named he album "Project". However, this album should not to be confused with her 1987 album which is also self-titled. Originally released in 1982 on Freedom Records under the band name The Lee Aaron Project, the album was reissued in 1984 on Attic Records with a new cover under the name Lee Aaron. Lee Aaron's debut album has a bit of a confusing history. Queen" who took her name from one of her early bands. No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Lee Aaron
