NSTS Episode 285 - Rock Author Tim Durling

About this episode

Tim Durling joins Brent Jensen to discuss why Night Ranger never achieved the same fame as other rock bands despite their hits.

It's that time, folks. Time to set everything else aside and really think about why Night Ranger never quite reached the same heights of fame as their rock brethren. Was it the clothes? The saccharine? The genre confusion? Tim Durling, author of Sing Me Away: The Night Ranger Album Review, is here to help us make sense of the mystery that is Night Ranger - why didn't the band who wrote "Sister Christian" and "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" take over the world? Join us and find out.
