Reviews Customer Reviews for Calling The Wild      Doro will kick your azz!!!!!!!!!      Rating:      Doro is the greatest female metal vocalist, period. I love Pat Benatar and Ann WIlson, but Doro is METAL. The opening track 'Kiss me like a Cobra' sinks it's fangs into your throat and injects you with blistering rock venom. The album doesn't let up at all with Dedication, and Burn it up coming in right behind it. This album's most famous tune is probably her cover of Billy Idol's 'White Wedding'. Doro's version is beyond awesome, I love it. She did a great job on it. But don't skip the song right before it 'Ich Will Alles'. I love it when Doro sings in her native tongue. Since I study German, I love to hear her German songs. Another cover on this album is Motorhead's 'Love me Forever' from their album 1916. You can hear Lemmy singing backups. Doro and Lemmy as a duet? Hey, why not? He did a duet with Wendy O. Williams too. Doro brings out the ballads too, 'Give me a Reason' and 'Who you Love' are standouts. If you are a new Doro fan, you need to get this. If you are a longtome Doro fan since her days in Warlock, what are you waiting for?     Customer Reviews for Calling The Wild Cd      Decent but not essential. 3.5 stars in many respects.      Rating:      This is actually a stronger Doro album than some that have staggered out of the studio since her conversion to a solo artist. Doro has left behind the bandwagon jumping of macihne II Machine and the wimpout that was Force Majeure. Calling the Wild actually got some decent promotion as well which hasn't happened for many of her albums. The songs here are reasonably strong since Doro knows that she works best when she operates with others and so most of the tracks here are co-written with other writers. Bonus value is added in terms of interest by the inclusion of some guest musicians such as Al Pitrelli, the sometime Savatage/Megadeth shredder lending a hand on the good quality hard rocker Dedication (I give my blood) and the mellower cut Who You Love. One problem with this release is the over attention paid to ballads which is par for the course for a Doro album. I managed to get hold of the limited boxed edition version which isn't bad value for the extra tracks, though the postcard and mini poster etc do smack of a very European and Japanese market fascination for such things. Lemmy puts in an appearance on one of these bonus tracks and it should be noted that all three bonus tracks are covers. Doro doesn't have to put out awesome albums, just decent ones to justify the next round of European rock festival appearances. It's a rut but a lucrative one presumably and this album is sure to have added a couple of new tracks to her live set as it is upbeat, well produced and planed and is held together very much by a love of the game. A return to her roots, if a little heavy on ballads.
