Up for grab is the "Rock Hard" CD by Suzi Quatro. Released in
1990 by Connoisseur Records, Made In UK. Although glam had long slipped off the radar by 1981, that year found
Suzi Quatro releasing one of her finest albums. With Nicky Chinn and
Mike Chapman (the producers behind her biggest hits) at the controls,
Quatro and her band craft a series of songs that blend the hard rock
power that fueled her glam rock era hits with a new soundscape that
tarts up the songs with some ear attracting new wave hooks. The tone is
set by the title track, which starts the album with a blast thanks to
its effective combination chugging guitar riffs, a stomping beat, and a
shout-along chorus that praises the song's tough female heroine. Other
hard rocking highlights include "Glad All Over," a cover of the Dave
Clark Five classic that uses a backbeat reminiscent of a squad of
rolling tanks on its chorus, and "Lipstick," a kiss-off to a cheating
lover that pits power chords against bubblegum-styled handclaps to
create a beguiling fusion of pop hooks and rock & roll muscle. Even
the quieter numbers manage to rock in their own way: a good example is
"Love Is Ready," a mid-tempo invitation to romance that swings with
authority over some soaring guitar riffs. Although it lacks the kind of
single that would have put it over the top commercially, Rock Hard is so
consistent and likable that it is tough to argue with. In short, Rock
Hard is a necessity and a solid listen for anyone interested in what
female-oriented rock was like before the advent of grrl rockers like L7
and Hole.
