KELLY KEAGY – Time Passes

As far as I know, this is the first solo album from the Night Ranger drummer/vocalist, and it is released by specialist AOR label, Frontiers Records. Kelly Keagy delivers a collection of songs written and played by a lot of famous friends. Names like: Jack Blades, Jeff Watson, Gary Moon, Brad Gillis crop up in the liner notes, so it’s no surprise that this still sounds very much like another Night Ranger record. Maybe with a little bit less guitar-showcasing, and of course with a lot of lead vocals from Mr. Keagy.

Fans of the man, and Night Ranger should check this out, although the bands early 80s stuff is where the real gems are buried. Still, this is not a bad album. Also look out for the remastered version of Night Rangers: Big Life. Coming soon!
