I met Aspen in Manchester and she's a very very nice lady. Patti Russo was most definately a giant part of Meat Loaf's musical life for a long while. However times move on, faces change, and with new faces beings a breath of fresh air!
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!
