\"LeeCanadian Rock vixen Lee Aaron has been on a hiatus of sorts. After the release of 2004\u2019s Beautiful Things<\/em>, she took a step back from the spotlight, focusing on her family. With 11 studio albums released at that time, going back to her 1982 debut, The Lee Aaron Project<\/em>, her music and songwriting have been a strong influence and inspiration for future women rockers. While Aaron was away, her work stayed relevant with the release of DVDs and a Radio Hits compilation.<\/p>\n

Flash forward to 2016, and Aaron returns with her 12th album Fire and Gasoline<\/em>. Flirting with Pop and Rock, Aaron combines multiple genres on this 11-track release, which offers fans music that is fun and flirtatious, yet still adult-oriented Rock. Aaron is joined by guitarist Sean Kelly (Canadian author, guitarist for Nelly Furtado), and her live band, bassist Dave Reimer and drummer John Cody.<\/p>\n

Exploring Fire and Gasoline<\/em>, we find that Aaron\u2019s voice ranges from sultry, sexy to Punkish and rebellious. Aaron keys on her past adolescent whims as her lyrics unfold on \u201cWanna Be\u201d and \u201cTom Boy.\u201d \u201cFire and Gasoline\u201d and \u201cBad Boyfriend\u201d offer fans her rocking attitude, complete with crunchy guitars and big choruses. Her adult contemporary side comes forth on songs like \u201cBittersweet\u201d and \u201c50 Miles.\u201d \u201cHeart Fix\u201d has a Country-Rock vibe. \u201cNothing Says Everything,\u201d \u201cIf You Don\u2019t Love Me Anymore\u201d \u201cFind The Love\u201d are all Pop-Rock radio-friendly tunes. <\/p>\n

On Fire and Gasoline<\/em>, Aaron throws caution to the wind, producing songs that run the gambit from whimsical, not-so-serious to emotionally explorative \u2026 yet underneath the hood, there still rumbles a Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll intensity that is screaming to be unleashed. Perhaps her time away from the spotlight might have mellowed Aaron a bit. Setting motherhood aside, she still maintains her finely feminine, soulful rocking voice. <\/p>\n
