Production and marketing
Cherry Pie was released on September 11, 1990, through Columbia Records. Like its predecessor, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, it was recorded at The Enterprise in Burbank, California.
The music video for "Cherry Pie" featured model and actress Bobbie Brown, who had previously starred in music videos for the band Great White. Her appearance on the album cover and in promotional videos earned her the reputation as the "Cherry Pie girl", which she came to embrace over the years. Brown and Jani Lane met during the film shooting for the video, and later began a relationship. They were eventually engaged and married in 1991.
It is rumored that Erik Turner and Joey Allen did not play on the album and that all guitar work had been performed by ex-Streets guitarist and session musician Mike Slamer.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cherry Pie (album)” as 1990 studio album by Warrant. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1990 studio album by Warrant. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1070369. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1990 and 1991.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
