Steelheart mama don t you cry1/3/2024 ![]() I saw them at a club and they had a killer show. This album was very under rated! I loved the songs on this one. If they only could have stuck to the winning formula that album had. I blame this poor album on producer Tom Werman who made them sound like a boring glam band, rather than the classic hard rock band they almost became after their first release. The songs are duller and they miss the heavy sound like they had on the first album. This album is not half as good as their classic first one. Long as they are at least 4 songs in length.Įxisting comments about this CD From: LSN Please only submit officialĬD releases no bootlegs or cassette-only or LP-only releases.ĮPs and CD-singles from Steelheart are also welcome to be added, as Even if it is an obscure greatest-hits or liveĬompilation CD, we want to add it to the site.

A weak note to end an otherwise excellent effort.Īs I listen to this disc 14 years after it was released I’m surprised that it doesn’t have a dated sound. The sole disappointment on this disc to me was the final track, “Dancin’ in the Fire”, which sounds like they had one last spot to fill and nothing better to fill it with. ![]() “All Your Love” and “Mama Don’t You Cry” represent this disc’s softer side yet much more groomed than previous offerings such as “Angel Eyes” or “Can’t Stop Me From Loving You”. “Late For The Party” and “Sticky Side Up” are straight ahead rockers hinting at good times to come. ![]() The aggression and energy pours from the track “Steelheart”, sounding every bit of what the dark prelude to Skid Row‘s “18 And Life” could have been. ![]() “Electric Love Child” has a funky groove, fusing elements of 70s big rock with a modern feel. Gone are the overly sappy ballads, replaced by deeper, better developed tracks. This middle release is definitely the pinnacle of their career, taking the musical momentum their first release created and expounded upon it. Steelheart released three discs in their short career, the afore-mentioned self-titled debut and the third in name only – it basically served as a platform for Matijevic to explore his musical interests as a solo act. However, with the passing of the band from recording work it’s blatantly obvious the general public has not had the pleasure of hearing this Steelheart release. Anyone with a pulse who listens to this kind of music knows the name Steelheart and has heard the ungodly range Mike Matijevic can reach from their self-titled debut and his vocal work in the movie Rock Star. “I ain’t got time to listen!” Regardless the opening verse of this disc, you have to make time. Produced by Tom Werman and Mike Matijevic.
