PEARL
Pearl Aday vocals
Marcus Blake bass
Jim Wilson guitar
Scott Ian guitar
Eric Leiderman drums
In the song Rock Child, gritty, soulful rock chanteuse Pearl belts,
I ve been a little girl living center stage/ I ve been sleeping in a
guitar case. It s not just a metaphor for feeling rock n roll 24-7.
As the daughter of rock legend Meat Loaf, Pearl was exposed to the
genre and all it entails almost from the time she was born.
With such a solid musical foundation, it s no surprise that Pearl
who backed-up Meat Loaf from 1994 to 2003, and also sang with Motley
Crue sounds confident and commanding throughout her musically
diverse debut Little Immaculate White Fox. Drawing inspiration from
classic rock, hard rock, southern rock, soul, and R&B, Pearl expresses
her love for and knowledge of music, with songs that range from tender
and vulnerable to brassy and solid as granite.
Some of my favorite bands are The Stones, AC/DC and The Allman
Brothers, she says. As a vocalist, I just love really powerful
singers like Otis Redding, Bonnie Raitt, Steven Tyler, Pat Benatar, my
dad and, of course, Janis Joplin. My biological father played drums in
her Full Tilt Boogie Band, and I m actually named after her because
Pearl was her nickname. She was an incredible vocalist and definitely
a huge influence.
While the songs on Little Immaculate White Fox are informed by past
and present legends, they re as original as they are familiar, and the
way they re put together is both clever and surprising. Rock Child
opens with strident guitar stabs and rolling drums reminiscent of most
transcendent The Who, then blasts into a riff that s part Led
Zeppelin, part AC/DC and all brute sincerity. Broken White segues
from textural guitars and a mystically bobbing bassline into a
fist-flinging verse and a scalding, infectious chorus. By contrast,
Mama is worn and weary, like a Stones ballad wrapped around a
southern rock lighter-raiser. And Anything, the softest and most
lovelorn song, is beautifully colored by sparse instrumentation and
Pearl s broken voice and features a guest appearance by Alice in
Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell.
Uplifting and inspiring even in her darkest lyrics, Pearl s sonorous
voice resonates with an empowering, almost spiritual vibe. Even the
title of her album came from a spiritual experience. When my mom was
pregnant with me, she was convinced I was a boy, Pearl explains. "And
then one night late in her pregnancy, her best friend called her up
and said, 'I just had a dream about your baby. She has blond hair and
blue eyes and she was laying in the forest at the base of a tree
wrapped in white fox fur, and her name is Little Immaculate White
Fox.' And my mom said, Oh, that's beautiful, but I'm having a boy.' A
few hours later she went into labor and had a blond haired, blue-eyed
girl."
With a ragged, yet accessible sound and a deeply personal aesthetic,
Pearl is a refreshing alternative to the predictable, cookie-cutter
rockers who play it safe to build their audience. Pearl prefers to
develop her following through sincerity, conviction and energetic live
shows.
For me, every show is an adventure, she says. I just let the music
take me wherever feels right. I ve fallen down, I ve even peed my
pants. I don t care. As long as I can connect with the audience, have
them feel me, and get my point across, then I ve done what I came to
do and I ll break myself open to get there.

This review is from: Little Immaculate White Fox (MP3 Download)
Not only is Meat Loaf her dad, but her fiance is Scott Ian of Anthrax, who also lent his own talents to this record. I first heard a few songs on Eddie Trunk Live when he had Pearl and Ian on the show last month, and I was floored by the vocals. This girl has some serious heavy rock pipes. Buy it. Put it in your car. Go too fast. Smile. Repeat.

This review is from: Little Immaculate White Fox (Audio CD)
I got to see Pearl when she was touring with Meat Loaf and was mesmerized by her performance. I could not wait to have a CD by her.
It has been worth the wait. As the editorial review states, this is a brassy powerhouse that I hope will continue to grow and have a successful career. Rock n Roll has returned and it is a Little Immaculate White Foxy "Pearl"

Best rock album in the last 10 years,
This review is from: Little Immaculate White Fox (Audio CD)
My girlfriend bought me tickets to see meatloaf on sept 1st in ft lauderdale florida. WE have been waiting to see meatloaf for 30 years, never had the chance. The opening act is Pearl, this chick comes out and cranks out some serious music! I look closely and realize that Scott Ian (anthrax)is playing guitar and the drummer is from the band fallout boy (dude can drum) Pearl sings 6 songs that were hard rocking guitar masterpieces! she invites everyone to come out and meet her after her set, we did and we were blown away by such a kind hearted babe!
This cd is a speeding ticket waiting to happen, the 1st song "rock child" is a story about her life and it plays well, Nutbush city limits is a cover from Tina Turner and Pearl does a great job, song 3 "broken white" is a big song with some serious guitar playing and song 4 "check out charlie" had Ted Nugent playing feedback guitar like no other...the cd is a masterpiece you cannot wait to plug in your car and drive with, be careful this cd will put you in a trance and a speeding ticket! Good luck Pearl and thank you for a great big hard rocking disc we have not heard in years!
