Did We All Miss This Album? | Jani Lane's Back Down To One
When Jani Lane released Back Down To One in 2003, it seemed to come and go with almost no promotion. Many Warrant fans had heard the rumors for years that Jani was working on solo music, but when the album finally arrived, it felt like it slipped under the radar.
Twenty-three years later, was this overlooked record actually a forgotten classic?
In this roundtable discussion, five of us revisit Jani Lane's one and only solo album. We talk about the turbulent period when Jani was in and out of Warrant, what it was like discovering Back Down To One when it was first released, our favorite songs, what still holds up today, and whether this album deserves far more recognition than it received.
If you're a longtime Warrant fan—or if you've never given Back Down To One a proper listen—this discussion is for you.
What do you think? Did we all miss this album, or has it always been the hidden gem many fans overlooked? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
