Stiletto

By the time of her second solo album, Lita Ford had been ground through enough music industry abuse for a lifetime in the Runaways alone – so when she sounds like a grizzled veteran here, it’s because she is. Her debut had the big hits but this has the better songs. “Hungry”’s libidinous strut will eat you alive, “Stiletto” crams an entire late 80s erotic thriller into 4 ½ minutes, and the Alice Cooper cover comes from experience.
