269 views

The album was published back in 2011, today I decided to update it. here’s the unreleased album the late Warrant front man JANI LANE recorded in 1993; Jabberwocky“. There has been a lot of bootlegs of these recordings – some also pressed on CD and sold at eBay, hence around 2004-2005 Lane decided to finally properly release that shelved tapes.

However a record deal appeared but asking for fresh, more contemporary rock, and the result was Jani’s first solo record ‘Back Down To One’, with a much more modern sound.
The songs on “Jabberwocky” are very early ’90s, quite acoustically driven – even the uptempo – something in vogue at the time with Mr. Big and Tesla successful acoustical albums. All are wonderfully melodic tunes, ‘very Jani Lane’.
