Sue Saad & The Next – Sue Saad & The Next 1980 (2013 Re-issue)

American New Wave band from Los Angeles, California, active from 1978 to 1986. Sue Saad’s voice sounds nothing like Benatar, but, like Benatar, she has serious lung power. The album is no-frills rock: two guitars, bass, drums, and Saad’s amazing voice.

This album is all killer, no filler. Most of the songs are rockers, but there are a couple of great ballads as well (“Prisoner” and “Cold Night Rain”).
Excellent songs, smart lyrics, a tight band, and Sue Saad’s glorious pipes.

This MP3 version of the album also includes three songs that Sue Saad recorded for various movie soundtracks later in the Eighties.
Those songs are nothing special. Of course, the singing is great, but the songs themselves are pretty ordinary.
Also, I’m pretty sure these three songs were not recorded with her original band. It’s all cheesy Eighties synths instead of guitar, and it sounds like a different drummer.
