Context
Released on December 12, 2006, 'Live & Learn' was Vixen's third studio album, coming after a lengthy hiatus following their 1998 release, 'Tangerine.' At this point in their career, the band was attempting to re-establish themselves in the music scene after facing lineup changes and the declining popularity of glam rock in the early 2000s.
