JOANNA DEAN - Misbehavin' [YesterRock remaster] (2013)

Remastered for the first time, YesterRock has reissued the underrated '80s rockin' album by JOANNA DEAN "Misbehavin´".
Originally released back in the summer of '88 on Polydor, the label
simply did nothing to push this absolute corker of a CD. Joanna later
insisted as part of Bad Romance and their superb 1991 'Code Of Honour'
album, but little has been heard from her since then, and this is
further proof of a serious talent that went largely unnoticed.

Kicking straight in with the Girl Power anthem (long before 'GP' was a
marketing slogan) is "Ready For Saturday Night" in which Joanna sets the
tone for a bluesy melodic hard rocking good time, probably the likes of
which we'll never hear live again.
Seriously, listening to this instantly brought back long forgotten
memories of sweaty rock clubs, and next up is "Kiss This" which many who
had MTV back then will remember was the only video the recording label
made to promote the album and while being really good, it was released
too early to do anything for the record or her press.

Next up we have accentuated rocking vibes from title track
"Misbehavin´", which is more of the same in top notch bluesy melodic
hard rock. Standout track for me is the ballad "Once Is Enough" as it
serves as a change of pace and highlights Joanna's more Benatar-esque
vocal capabilities.
The Tom DeLuca penned "Dirty Fingers" rocks in an anthemic glory pumped
by a fist-rising chorus, the urgent "Burnin' Rubber" is hot, then you
have memories of a young Robin Beck on the short but kickin' "She's Been
Hearin' About Me".
Last track is a Joanna's re-written version of Jagger / Richards classic
"Gimme Shelter", in a completely sensual way but driven by sharp
guitars, a steady rhythm section and with Joanna delivering a piercing
performance.

Joanna Dean's "Misbehavin´" was criminally buried by an inefficient
promotion, but fortunately for those of us with taste (like you and me)
we've always known and relished the best of the best without them having
to be million sellers.
So with a voice many have described as 'having the capability to shake
the foundation of the very tallest of buildings' Joanna Dean has a set
of pipes that could surely only be the product of gene splicing Robin
Beck, Janis Joplin and Pat Benatar together in some laboratory
experiment. This lady can sing her pretty little stockings off!

Having only 9 tracks on a CD these days is probably sacrilegious,
however back then it was the norm to fill an album with quality over
quantity, and man did Joanna Dean deliver on the quality front.
"Misbehavin´" includes nine songs of the highest quality and deserves to
be listened to with the pristine remastered sound of this YesterRock
reissue.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
