Fully Remastered Audio / Debut platinum album from revered late 70s AOR five piece from Los Angeles 70's featuring guitarist Brad Gillis and vocalist/bassist Jack Blades / 16-page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, rarely seen photos and new interviews. ONE THE GREATEST rock bands to emerge during the early Eighties was San Francisco based Night Ranger. Somewhat surprisingly, however, their origins originated from a very different musical background, most notably as members of a large-scale soul-funk cabal called Rubicon (a unit that had links to Sly Stone) who recorded two now largely forgotten, albums. Members of this unit coalesced under the handle of Ranger, and later, Night Ranger. Night Ranger's arsenal of formidable talent contained the twin lead guitar work of Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson and - unusually - two identifiable lead vocalists in bassist Jack Blades and drummer Kelly Keagy. It was this combination that afforded the band a unique sound, giving them an edge that distanced them from other similar sounding outfits. At one point, however, the band's very existence was thrown into jeopardy when Brad Gillis was tapped to replace the late Randy Rhoads in Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard Of Oz. Fortunately this only turned out to be a temporary arrangement. Despite being turned down by every record company in the US, not once but twice, the band's debut album 'Dawn Patrol', originally issued in 1982, on the newly-formed Boardwalk label, was an immediate critical and commercial success, and boasted a cache of supremely catchy tracks, led by the triple knockout blows of 'Don't Tell Me You Love Me', 'Sing Me Away' and 'At Night She Sleeps'. A finer debut album you will not find.

  • Hammer Teil...

    Written on 19. July 2016 by Idol.

    Also "Don't Tell Me you You Love Me" ist einer der besten Rock Songs Ever für mich. Ich habe das Teil eher zufällig so Mitte 80ig erstanden und die Scheibe bringt mich heute immer noch ins Schwärmen. Eine der besten Debüts aller Zeiten und Definitiv Ein Must Have für Classic Rock Freunde! Wow...

  • guter Rock aus den 80ern

    Gute Debutalben gibt es sicherlich viele, aber ein derart überragender Erstling wie der, der fünf Kalifornier sucht seinesgleichen. Zu einer Zeit, als mit Melodic-Rock kaum einer etwas anzufangen wusste, hat das Songwriter-Duo Keagy/Blades zehn Titel komponiert, die man ohne Übertreibung als Klassiker bezeichnen kann. Melodien mit Ohrwurmcharakter, sensationelles Gitarrenspiel der Herren Gillis und Watson ("Sing me away", "Eddie's comin' out tonight"!) und die nötige Portion Dampf machen "Dawn patrol" zu einem Hörerlebnis erster Güte. Fast alles, was die Band anschließend produzierte (sorry, aber der Ausrutscher "Feeding off the Mojo" in abgespeckter Original-Besetzung war nicht nötig) bewegt sich auf ähnlich grandiosem Niveau. Möglicherweise ist auf den Folgealben der eine oder andere Einzeltitel eine Spur besser, als Gesamtwerk ist das Debut jedoch bis heute unerreicht. Kaufen!!

    Das 1. Album von Night Ranger war damals und ist auch heute noch ein Stück Rockgeschichte. Absolut empfehlenswert.
