WARRANT ‘Most Wanted’
Mausoleum Records (2004)

Another ‘Best Of’ featuring re-recorded tracks by the line-up of Jani Lane (vocals), Jerry Dixon (bass), Erik Turner (rhyhm guitar), ex-Kingdon Come guitarist Rick Steier and drummer Mitch Dynomite.

Unlike the White Lion release Warrant have stayed fairly true to the originals but with a more modern production and heavier sound on some e.g. ‘The Jones’. Jani Lane is often ridiculed for some of his lyrics (like ‘Cherry Pie’!) but he does write some damn fine tunes like ‘I Saw Red’ and ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’. Warrant also tackle a few covers including an ill-advised version of Bon Jovi’s ‘Lay Your Hands On Me’ - not very good at all. But the cracking version of ‘Photograph’ (Def Leppard) more than makes up for this and Cheap Trick’s ‘I Want You To Want Me’.

A prefect place for new fans to start and with the added bonus of a few covers. Be interesting to see how Warrant develop now that Jani Lane has left and Jamie St. James (Black ‘N’ Blue) has taken over vocal duties.
