Oh my, the Shania Twain of heavy metal. Wasn't Lee known as the Metal Queen? I believe she was. I actually use to own a cd by her called 'Metal Queen' and as I recalled I really liked it. Anyhow, Lee has the looks, the voice and certainly the band behind her to do great things, but alas the music is not outstanding, although not bad either. With a man like Bob Ezrin (Kiss, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, etc) producing, I guess I was expecting something a bit more memorable. As it stands, the most memorable part of the disc is the cover art. Will have to see what happens after living with the disc for a while.

12. "How Deep" (5:11)
"Body Rock" is quite a bit more commercial than "Metal Queen" or "Call of the Wild," which actually suits Aaron's voice quite well. Apparently many others thought the same thing, for within a year of it's release, "Bodyrock" sold over 200,000 copies. As with "Call of the Wild" repeated listens are what is required to really enjoy this disc. Aaron's voice is quite nice, and in itself is what makes repeated listens something that will happen. I don't know that I would actually label this heavy metal, but more commercial hard rock, but regardless, I think anyone into the 80's style of pop metal would enjoy this disc.

Slick, happy, pop rock with a slight metal sheen, mostly due to the gritty guitars. Songs like Wild At Heart, Love Crimes and Dangerous are all memorable pop songs that could easily have been radio hits in '91 had Aaron had major label backing. Also, it must be noted that Lee has a beautiful voice. However, as with all the CDs I own by Lee Aaron, there is something almost generic about them. "Some Girls Do" isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it's also not great. There isn't a whole lot to hold your attention. I find the photos more intreging than the music.
