Aussie sisters Chrissie & Lindsay Hammond were the core of the hard pop/rock band Cheetah. Although they'd released several
singles in Australia between 1977 and 1981, ROCK AND ROLL WOMEN was their first and only full length studio album. It was
produced by Harry Vanda and George Vanda, who were best known for their work with AC/DC.
The first track and main single "Bang Bang" definitely has a bit of that AC/DC hard rock groove happening underneath the
sisters tag team vocal style. It's easily one of the more memorable tracks here and made it to #80 on the Aussie pop charts.
My own exposure to Cheetah came from seeing a promotional video for this track for them on MTV. I thought their style was
charming and exuberant, so I wound up picking up this album on vinyl years ago.
Other highlights include "Scars Of Love", which actually has more of a disco / dance-rock beat. "Rock & Roll Woman" is hard
rockin' shuffle in the vein of AC/DC. "My Man" is also a likable song. All of these were also released as Aussie singles,
but failed to chart. The rest of the album is fairly run-of-the-mill pop/rock. Hardly an essential album, but still a nice
curio for those who do still remember seeing the Hammond sisters on MTV back in the early 80s.
