For the past 35 years, the man born Marvin Lee Aday has been a towering monument on the musical landscape. His 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell transformed this former high school football player, nightclub bouncer and stage actor into the American rock 'n' roll icons, Meat Loaf. Hang Cool Teddy Bear (a title taken from a line in the classic Russ Meyer trash movie Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls) is his 11th studio album, and aims to drag the classic Meat Loaf sound kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
