"Hidin' From Love" by Lisa Hartman

Most people remember Lisa Hartman from her days as an actress on the show Knots Landing and perhaps from a long string of B-movies. But she also had a singing career that produced five albums between 1976 and 1987. Hartman played two different singers on Knots Landing, but she was not acting when it came to her vocal chops. Songs on her records span rock, pop, ballads, and a bit of country.

Her final record in 1987, "'Til My Heart Stops," is among her most popular, thanks to the excellent song "The Dress." However, her 1982 album, "Letterock" is perhaps her strongest and most consistent effort. Her version of the Bryan Adams song "Hidin' From Love" kicks this record off, and makes you wonder why Hartman wasn't competing with Pat Benatar on the battlefield for chart positions.

In 1991, she married country superstar Clint Black and pretty much stopped making records.
