Dancin' on the Edge, Lita Ford's second solo album, arrived on Mercury in 1984, and it's the sound of the former Runaways lead guitarist staking out hard rock turf of her own. The riffs are sharp and metallic, the solos come in hot, and Ford sings with a sneer to match her playing.
"Gotta Let Go" is the one that stuck, a tough, driving rocker that stayed among her best-known songs. The album did moderate business, reaching number 66 on the Billboard 200, and picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. It was also her last record for Mercury: by 1987 she had signed with RCA, and her glam metal career hit its peak later that decade.
