Hard rock veterans Night Ranger have unveiled a newly remastered version of “When You Close Your Eyes (2026),” the latest preview of their upcoming Best Of album, set for release on August 28 via Frontiers Music Srl. The single arrives alongside an official visualizer.
Best Of gathers newly remixed and remastered versions of classic hits spanning Night Ranger’s long career, alongside standout tracks from the band’s more recent releases. The collection will be issued on both CD and vinyl, with the double LP available in three colors: black, gold, and orange splatter.
“The new ‘Best Of’ is a celebration of not only our classic hits but also what we’ve created over the last 20 years. And we’re just gonna keep cranking it cause we’re having too much fun to stop! So enjoy the ride and see ya on the road!”
– Jack Blades
Few bands have defined the sound of American melodic rock quite like Night Ranger. From the soaring anthem of “Sister Christian” to the thunderous riffs of “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and fan favorites like “(You Can Still) Rock in America,” the compilation captures the essence of their decades-long career, refreshed for 2026. Highlights span anthemic choruses, blazing guitar solos, and the kind of unforgettable melodies that made the group legendary, including the cinematic sweep of “Four in the Morning.”
The set is not just a look back, though. It also spotlights the band’s output over the past two decades with tracks like “Time of Our Lives,” “High Road,” “No Time to Lose Ya,” “Somehow Someway,” and “Truth.” Rounding out the collection are two special bonus tracks: a fresh take on “Wasted Time” recorded live off the floor at Sweetwater Studios (accompanied by an exclusive music video) and a festive live performance of “Feliz Navidad,” with “Hole In The Sun” added as a Japan bonus track. Perfectly timed ahead of their summer 2026 tour, Best Of works as both an introduction for new fans and a must-have for longtime followers.
