Intro
Hard rock corrupted by 70s blues flavor for the band Pearl.

Best tracks
Rock Child, Broken White, Check Out Charlie, My Heart Isn't In It

Notes
Pearl Aday, though unknown to the general public, is surely not unprepared for the world of rock: we are indeed talking about the wife of Scott Ian (guitarist for Anthrax and now also for Pearl) and, at the same time, daughter of Michael Lee Aday, mostly known as Meat Loaf, for which she has toured the world as a backing vocalist for nine years.
In spite of kinship (even if both are not biological), the blonde Pearl is not influenced by the style of any of them.
Since the album cover is easy to guess her love for the 70s and for Janis Joplin (her biological father played drums for Janis Joplin and from her he stole the nickname Pearl for his daughter). So, we are talking about hard blues rock with trace of southern rock (outstanding are the autobiographical "Rock Child" and "Broken White"), sung by a rocker with balls who is not ashamed to show her female side in sweet ballads such as "My Heart Isn’t In It" and "Anything".
Pearl, with her scathing and gritty voice, is rightly the protagonist of the album, but the powerful and precise rhythm section and the two aggressive guitars certainly do not stand in the background.
All together, they create captivating songs that are sure going to be appreciated by anyone who grew up on AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith and all the heroes of the '70s.

Intro
Hard rock imbastardito di blues dal sapore 70s per la band di Pearl.

Best tracks
Rock Child, Broken White, Check Out Charlie, My Heart Isn't In It

Notes
Pearl Aday, per quanto sconosciuta al grande pubblico, non è certo una sprovveduta nel mondo del rock: stiamo parlando infatti della moglie di Scott Ian, chitarrista di Anthrax e ora anche di Pearl, e figlia di Michael Lee Aday, noto ai più come Meat Loaf, per il quale, per ben nove anni, ha girato il mondo come corista.
A dispetto delle parentele (anche se entrambe non sono biologiche), la bionda Pearl non è influenzata dallo stile di nessuno di essi.
Fin dalla copertina dell'album è intuibile l'amore per i 70s e per una certa Janis Joplin (per cui il papà biologico della Aday suonò la batteria e da cui rubò il nomignolo Pearl per la figlia). Stiamo parlando quindi di un rock blues con venature sudiste e piuttosto hard (strepitose l'autobiografica "Rock Child" e "Broken White"), cantato da una rocker con le palle ma che non si vergogna di mostrare il lato più femminile in dolci ballad quali "My Heart Isn't In It" e "Anything".
Pearl, con la sua voce graffiante e grintosa, è giustamente la protagonista del disco, ma la sezione ritmica possente e precisa e le due aggressive chitarre non sono certo in secondo piano.
Tutto l'insieme crea canzoni coinvolgenti che saranno sicuramente apprezzate da chiunque sia cresciuto a pane ed AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith e tutti gli eroi degli anni '70.
