No doubt: one the greatest Melodic Rock bands to emerge during the early Eighties was San Francisco based NIGHT RANGER. The band’s arsenal of formidable talent contained the twin lead guitar work of Brad Gillis & 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.
Their debut album produced by Pat Glasser (Giuffria, Refugee), 1982’s “Dawn Patrol” is regarded by many as their finest, pure rockin’ opus.
While “Dawn Patrol” already sounds great on vinyl and there has been fine CD reissues, now

Since joining the legendary, multi-platinum hard rock act Tesla in early 2006, guitarist Dave Rude have toured the US and overseas countless times with them. But he also pursues a solo career fronting the DAVE RUDE BAND, writing his own songs, singing and of course handling the varied guitar work. “The Key” is his second solo CD, this time with the full ‘band’ name om the cover.
