Dawn Patrol

Entertainment Co.

New Mexico.
Background
During the recording
of the album,
the band was known
as just
Ranger.
The first issues
of the album
were printed
and ready to be shipped
when a country band
from California
was found to have
the same name.
The band decided to
name themselves
Night Ranger
after the song
that Blades
had written
for the album,
and Boardwalk
proceeded to destroy
every copy that had
"Ranger"
on it.
Release
"Don't Tell Me You Love Me",
the first single,
which had a
music video
that entered
heavy rotation
on MTV,
reached number 40
on the
Billboard Hot 100
and number four
on Billboard's
Mainstream
Rock Tracks chart.
The second single,
"Sing Me Away",
reached number 54
on the Hot 100
and number 39
on the
Mainstream
Rock Tracks chart
in late spring
of 1983

studio album
by American
Hard Rock Band
released in
