Born Again

Personnel: Jaime St. James (vocals); Joey Allen (guitar, acoustic guitar, slide guitar); Pat Regan (keyboards); Jerry Dixon (bass guitar); Steven Sweet (drums, cowbells, background vocals).Audio Mixer: Pat Regan.Recording information: Sea Sound Studio, Burbank, CA.Illustrator: Christopher Franchi.Photographers: Lee Jackson; Neil Zlozower; Christopher Franchi; Erik Turner.Just as the Born Again title has been employed on dozens of albums by other artists -- including fellow metalheads Black Sabbath -- don't expect Warrant to stretch the boundaries anywhere else on this disc. You can expect them to deliver a superb set of hard rock songs that sound and feel better than most music from the '80s, however. "Dirty Jack" is a perfect candidate for a sequel to anything written by AC/DC. Derivative? Highly -- but these guys are masters of the genre and it is so well done that you can't help but tip your hat to the boys for keeping their metallic integrity pure. Produced by Pat "Scissor Hands" R
