Vixen is the self-titled debut album by American all-female Hard rock/Glam metal band Vixen. It was released in 1988 in America and Europe, and featured the hit singles "Edge of a Broken Heart" and "Cryin'".
Vixen was founded in St Paul, MN by guitarist Jan Kuehnemund. Driven by rock star dreams, like so many before her, Kuehnemund packed up her group and headed for Hollywood. Kuehnemund soon re-tooled the lineup to include vocalist Janet Gardner, drummer, Roxy Petrucci, and bassist Share Pedersen (Ross).
Vixen quickly built their reputation playing the infamous Sunset Strip and signed a major label deal with EMI. Vixen’s first hit single, “Edge of a Broken Heart” penned by Richard Marx and Fee Waybill (The Tubes) blasted onto the Billboard charts fueled by heavy video rotation on MTV. Their self-titled freshmen LP garnered two more knee droppers with “Cryin’” and “Love made Me” both charting on the Billboard hot 100 top 40. It was the group’s live performances opening for the Scorpions, Ozzy and Bon Jovi that established Vixen as a premiere rock act to be taken seriously.
In 2009, VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s placed "Edge of a Broken Heart" at No. 87. It is also featured on the Monsters of Rock (album) platinum edition and Monsters of Rock Volume 2.
