📚 Homework Alert: Lets Dig into Lita by Lita Ford!

Unlock the glam-metal magic and cultural impact of Lita Ford’s breakout album—your headphones (and hot takes) are required.

Time to tease that hair, crank up the Aqua Net, and prepare your air guitar—because we’re heading back to 1988 with a glam-metal classic that shreds as hard as it struts. Our next episode of Dig Me Out dives deep into Lita, the breakout solo album from the one and only Lita Ford—and yes, this one’s thanks to listener Keith P Miller, who brought it back into our headphones and hearts. 🙌

If you’re new to Lita Ford, think: blazing guitars, unapologetic attitude, and enough hooks to catch a school of hair-metal fans. A former Runaway turned solo star, Lita carved out a lane in a male-dominated genre, pairing arena-ready riffs with powerhouse vocals and a glam sheen that screams late-'80s rock radio.

So what makes Lita stand out?

✨ "Kiss Me Deadly" – An opening line about being late to work never sounded so badass
🔥 Ozzy Osbourne cameo alert – Their duet on “Close My Eyes Forever” is pure power-ballad drama
🎸 Guitar solos that sizzle, strut, and sometimes soar right off the Sunset Strip

Here’s your homework assignment before we drop the episode:

1. 🎧 Give Lita a full spin – From start to finish, immerse yourself in the riffs, choruses, and glorious excess. Bonus points for headbanging.

2. 🕵️ Revisit the backstory – Check out our post on Lita Ford’s history for context and some juicy rock 'n roll trivia.

3. 📝 Come ready to debate – What works about the album? What doesn’t? Which tracks still rip, and which feel like relics of their time?

This isn’t just a throwback—it’s a chance to revisit a pivotal album in rock history and decide: does Lita still roar, or has time turned it down to a soft ballad?
