Sahara is the second studio album by the American rock band House of Lords, released on August 21, 1990.
The album was recorded without original guitarist Lanny Cordola, but with Doug Aldrich as the band's guitarist. Still, the album features many guest contributors on guitar, such as Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Chris Impellitteri (Impellitteri) and Mandy Meyer (Asia, Krokus). Other contributors on the albums are White Lion's Mike Tramp, Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, Steeler's Ron Keel, Autograph's Steve Plunkett and Giuffria's David Glen Eisley, all on backing vocals.
The album reached position No. 121 in The Billboard 200 chart on February 23, 1991.[2]
"Heart on the Line", which was written by Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen, would eventually be recorded by Cheap Trick themselves for their 2016 album Bang, Zoom, Crazy... Hello.
Sahara, the second release from his umpteenth shot at stardom, House of Lords, pretty much perpetuates pompous hair metal of the Whitesnake and Blue Murder variety.
