Meatloaf: Hell in a Hand Basket
As he illustrated in last season’s Celebrity Apprentice face-off with Gary Busey, Meat Loaf is a man of passion. The distinctively melodramatic, borderline operatic voice of this rock icon still offers up that passion, this time mixed with a good dollop of diversity, particularly on “Stand in the Storm,” which features fellow CA grads Trace Adkins, Lil Jon, and Mark McGrath. No Busey, though. Legacy Music (legacyrecordings.com). —Nancy Ford
