Tell me more: On Aug. 28, hard rock heroes Night Ranger released their Best Of album, which collects 18 tracks from across the rock quintet's career. In addition to the band's beloved radio hits, the set also features standout tracks from the California-spawned troupe's more recent releases that are definitely worthy of discovery. Among the collection's early highlights are the rousing opener "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," inspired "You Can Still Rock In America," affecting rock ballad "Sister Christian" and melodic "Four In The Morning." Additional standouts include the fiery "Breakout" (bolstered by outstanding lead guitar work), tuneful power pop-mining "Tomorrow," propulsive rocker "High Road," hard charging "Somehow Someway" and genre-blending "Truth."
The band features the talents of Jack Blades (bass, vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals), Brad Gillis (guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards) and Keri Kelli (guitars). All the tracks are newly remixed and remastered; the collection is available on both audio CD and vinyl. The double LP is available in three different colors: black, gold and orange splatter. Night Ranger has also released an official music video for the melodic harmonies-adorned original "Wasted Time (Live from Sweetwater Studios)" you can view HERE.
Night Ranger is currently touring and will perform at Gila River Casino, 5040 Wild Horse Pass Blvd., Chandler, AZ at 8 p.m. on Sept. 10. Information: nightrranger.com.
