Little Too Early

The Zoo Crew is spinning "Little Too Early" by Lita Ford, a track from her 1991 album Dangerous Curves, and the Zoo Freaks are loving the hard rock vibes. This song, written by Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Lynn Turner, and Al Pitrelli, is a high-energy rocker that showcases Ford’s gritty vocals and searing guitar work. According to fan discussions on platforms like Rate Your Music, some fans feel the song was underutilized and could have been a bigger hit with more promotion. Its driving rhythm and catchy chorus make it a standout, though it didn’t chart like the album’s lead single, "Shot of Poison." In a 2016 Decibel Magazine interview, Ford emphasized her love for crafting authentic hard rock, which shines through in this track’s raw energy. Fans on the Lita Ford Fan Club Facebook group often praise "Little Too Early" for its classic ’80s-inspired sound, with some calling it a hidden gem in her catalog.

Lita Ford, born Lita Rossana Ford on September 19, 1958, in London, England, kicked off her musical journey at a young age. Moving to the United States as a child, she settled in Long Beach, California, and picked up the guitar at age 11, inspired by Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. By 16, she joined the all-female rock band The Runaways, where she served as lead guitarist alongside Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. The Runaways, formed by producer Kim Fowley, blended punky hard rock with a rebellious teenage edge, releasing their debut album in 1976. After the band dissolved in 1979, Ford launched her solo career, debuting with Out for Blood in 1983. Her breakthrough came with the 1988 album Lita, featuring hits like "Kiss Me Deadly" and the Ozzy Osbourne duet "Close My Eyes Forever," which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ford’s guitar prowess and mezzo-soprano vocals made her a trailblazer in the male-dominated glam metal scene.
