UNITED KINGDOM - IMPORT, REISSUE, REMASTERED, BOOKLET

2CD reissue of three albums / Full booklet with lyrics and pictures / Remastered - Sometimes you listen to a CD by an unsigned band and you wonder why the hell they haven't been signed. Such is the case with Raggedy Ann, a four-piece rock'n'roll band that explodes with an abundance of talent in every possible musical direction. With over three decades of touring Raggedy Ann has shared the stage with many great bands including Jackyl, Warrant, Slaughter, Savatage, Sponge, Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, Night Ranger, Frampton, Derringer, Pat Travers, Kansas, B. O. C. , Firehouse, Mickey Thomas, L. A Guns, Georgia Satellites, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella, Dokken, Quiet Riot and many more. Raggedy Ann is a solid rock band that most definitely would have been part of something big in the late 80's. The musicianship is solid and the songwriting well crafted. Let's start with the overall musical picture: With several member changes the frontman vocalist remains the same. Brian Carson's power and versatility on these albums is the welcome common denominator. You'll be tempted to call Raggedy Ann's sound "80's hard rock" but to date them so would be unfair. The band certainly use 80's hard rock as their musical inspiration, but they build upon it a freshness that gives them relevance even today. Imagine what bands like Britny Fox, Dokken and Whitesnake would sound like if they were still recording with the passion and the originality they enjoyed when they first hit the scene and you've got a general idea of what Raggedy Ann sounds like. In 1994, the band recorded an EP of 7 tracks called Big Brother with a first version of Lion's Eye. With Arizona", Raggedy Ann make no bones about the fact that they are "melodic rock. " "Arizona" is more of an 80s rock album than "Dreamcatcher," Fans of 80s rock and modern melodic rock will find a lot to like on the 10 tracks herein. For the most part, "Dreamcatcher" is filled with solid rockers. "Dreamcatcher" is an amazingly strong album, expertly produced and performed from an impressively strong band.
