I really admire Patti Russo (she was always very pleasant to talk with) for her talent. But, as the history of the Neverland Express dictates, Patti was one of a number of leading ladies.

That role, playing next to Meat, demands some kinda presence! Aspen has, with her predecessors, risen to it and admirably - not in the shoes of anyone else, but as herself. I have nothing but admiration and respect for any talent that can put themselves next to one of Rock's most bombastic Artists and pull off one heck of a performance with it.

Good Luck Aspen - Welcome to Music History!

I third what he said. She has a really powerful voice.
