More Than Meets the Eye

More Than Meets the Eye was the follow-up to their debut Ready and Willing. Just like their debut, also this CD saw the band moving into different music styles. The beginning of the CD is very AORish with good songs like “Stay the Night” (calmer semi AOR ballad a la HEART), “That’s Just the Way It Is” (REMBRANDTS cover) and the AOR ballad “Love Is Not Enough” (very good, like ALIAS meets HEART). Later on the CD it gets a little poppier on songs like “Now or Never”, “All the Lovers” and “Baby Don’t You Know?”. I think this is the least interesting record of LITTLE SISTER, because after this CD it became really interesting. Especially the third CD Along the Way is a fantastic record and very AOR/Melodic Rock oriented, partly due to the “rockier” production of Mike Flicker (of HEART fame). That album was released in 1993 and I also did a review of it some time ago. I never heard their 4th record Heart of the Matter, so I don’t know if that album is as good as their third release Along the Way. For now, I would recommend all fans of female fronted AOR to check out LITTLE SISTER and especially their album Along the Way needs to be heard first.
