Big Game by White Lion
About the album Big Game
The singer Mike Tramp and the guitarist Vito Bratta, who had founded White Lion, wrote ten new songs for their band's third studio album, for the glam metal band White Lion. In addition to their ten compositions, White Lion included in Big Game of 1989 the cover of Radar Love by Golden Earring. The album was released by Atlantic Records.
Big Game may not have had the commercial impact that the previous album of the New Yorkers had, but it is an album with remarkable compositions, compositions that greatly exceeded the average of other glam metal songs of that period. For example, the first single of the album was Little Fighter, a song dedicated to the Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior," which was sunk by the French secret intelligence service in July 1985, an event that took place in the port of Auckland, New Zealand. The fourth single of the album, Cry For Freedom, deals with a very pressing issue of global concern at that time, the "Apartheid regime" in South Africa.
The album managed to reach No.19 on the Billboard and No.47 in the United Kingdom. White Lion during the release period of the album toured with Ozzy Osbourne in the U.S., and a little later made their own promotional tour of the album in Europe. Big Game went gold in the U.S.
