The Raz Band is a NJ based quintet that’s revolving around Michael Raz Rescigno, a guy that seems to have been doing this for a long time. Currently he’s being aided by Badfinger’s Joey Molland and drum legend Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh/Crosby, Stills & Nash/The Eagles) among others.
 
This 19 songs CD pretty much covers everything from the 1984’s debut “Criminals Off the Streets” to last year’s “Madison Park”, the band’s “hometown”, including some rare cassette EP tracks among others. Their music hasn’t radically changed through the years, but more like matured and gotten more organic, which makes their 70s inspired rock with its streetwise charm, quite endearing. Nice reference point for newcomers to the band.
