Lita Ford – Dangerous Curves – Cassette

Dangerous Curves is the fifth studio album by American rock guitarist and singer Lita Ford, released in 1991. Lita Ford is known for her contributions to the hard rock and heavy metal genres, both as a solo artist and as a member of the all-female rock band The Runaways.

Dangerous Curves is characterized by its blend of hard rock and glam metal styles, which were popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The album features a mix of energetic guitar-driven tracks and ballads, with Lita Ford’s distinctive vocals and guitar work as key elements.

After working with power pop hero Mike Chapman on Stiletto, Lita Ford switched producers on Dangerous Curves and joined forces with another in-demand studio ace, Tom Werman. The result is a decent collection of slick, commercial hard rock that isn’t much different from its predecessor.

Some of the notable tracks on the album include ‘Larger Than Life,’ ‘Shot of Poison,’ and ‘Bad Boy.’ The album explores themes of love, desire, and independence, which were common in the lyrics of rock music during that era.

Glossy pop-metal cuts like ‘Black Widow,’ ‘Hellbound Train’ and ‘Playin’ with Fire’ aren’t the gems that Ford is quite capable of delivering (anyone familiar with her work with the Runaways knows just how talented she is), but they’re fun and spirited. ‘Bad Love,’ meanwhile, is a noteworthy example of her dramatic ballad style. Ford gets in some nice guitar solos, reminding us that she definitely has solid chops. There are no weak or poor songs on this Cassette.

Dangerous Curves may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as some of Lita Ford’s earlier work, it remains a part of her discography and is appreciated by fans of her music and the glam metal genre. Lita Ford’s contributions to the world of rock music, both as a solo artist and as a member of The Runaways, have left a lasting impact on the genre.
