Mane Attraction is the fourth studio album by the glam metal band White Lion. It was released in 1991 by Atlantic Records, and reached No. 61 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 31 in the UK.
After a year of writing and recording, White Lion released Mane Attraction in the spring of 1991, which was received well by the fans. Unfortunately, the album failed to reach the top 20 like the last two albums. It received little airplay due to the rising popularity of grunge. The album featured the singles "Love Don't Come Easy" which peaked at number 24 on the Mainstream Rock chart, "Lights and Thunder", an eight-minute heavy rock epic with a complex structure inspired by Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand" and a re-recorded version of the band's debut single "Broken Heart", all of which had music videos. The song "Out with the Boys" was released as a rare promo single. The album also contained White Lion's only instrumental song, "Blue Monday", a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, who had died while the band was writing for the album.
The album's power ballads "You're All I Need" which was released as a promo single, "Till Death Do Us Part" and "Farewell to You" gained a huge amount of radio airplay in Indonesia and the Philippines. Mike Tramp is married to Indonesian actress Ayu Azhari. "You're All I Need" also inspired Ahmad Dhani to create a song for Dewa 19 titled "Kangen".
A music video montage was released for the song "Farewell to You" which featured on the band's video album Escape from Brooklyn in 1992.
Greg D'Angelo and James Lomenzo left the band soon after the album's release, citing "musical differences", but White Lion carried on with bassist Tommy "T-Bone" Caradonna and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Suicidal Tendencies, Y&T). After briefly touring in support of Mane Attraction, Tramp and Bratta decided to call it a day, their last show being held in Boston at the Channel Club in September 1991.
