Lee Aaron

Author: Roger Wink May 30, 2016 Duration: 40:04

Our guest for this episode is Canadian singer Lee Aaron.

Aaron emerged in the early-80's with her album The Lee Aaron Project. While selling well in Canada, Aaron also made a name for herself in England where, even though the album was never officially released, it gained a strong cult following.

Through the rest of the 80's and into the 90's, Lee recorded a number of successful albums including Metal Queen, Call of the Wild and Bodyrock. In the early-90's, she struck out with her own label and, late in the decade, started exploring blues and jazz music.

Aaron has just released her first new album in twelve years, Fire and Gasoline, which returns her to the world of rock. 

 


Hosted by Roger Wink, The VVN Music Interviews is a conversation series dedicated to the seasoned voices that have shaped our soundtracks for decades. This podcast focuses squarely on veteran musicians-those artists across pop, rock, R&B, soul, country, folk, and blues with twenty years or more of recording history. Each episode is built around a long-form interview, offering a deep dive into the careers, creative processes, and personal reflections of these established figures. You’ll hear stories from the road, insights into the evolution of genres, and perspectives that only come from a lifetime in the industry. While the core of the show is dialogue, brief musical excerpts-always under thirty seconds and used for editorial context under fair use-illustrate the discussion, letting you recall the specific sounds and styles that define each guest's work. It’s a space for thoughtful exchange rather than promotional chatter, aiming to connect the dots between an artist's past achievements and their current place in the musical landscape. For anyone curious about the people behind the enduring records, this podcast provides a direct line to their experiences and wisdom, all through Roger’s engaged and knowledgeable questioning. The tone is more like a series of candid, in-depth conversations than a formal interview program, prioritizing substance and legacy over fleeting trends.
