Living Like a Runaway - Lita Ford



Listening to this the first time, I'm unimpressed. In the sense I was expecting more from Lita Ford. It's recorded beautifully, and in some sense it sounds like she never left the 80's. Which for some people that might be what they want an expect. Not me. There's plenty of hair band type sound out there.

I did pick out The Mask right away as something I might like more. The beginning and ending is unique, and then segues into the classic guitar chunka chunka riff, but here the Mask sounds like Heart. It's got some great voice work, good lyrics and chugs along quite nicely.



So I need a couple more listens to see if anything more stands out. I was really expecting the title song to be good, but IMO, it so far is the weakest. I almost get the feeling she thought of this great title connection to her past, now lets write some lyrics and music. Not so much.
