About Me

Ragged Hearts are a Houston, Texas-based rock and roll band formed in 2003 from the ashes of Willie Dunivan's short-lived Trashcan Punch project. Founding Members, Corey Power, Davey Jonez, Rick Bailey, and Don Paul West envisioned a band that focused on honest songwriting, heartfelt live performance, mutual creative contribution, and a band that would draw on the entire 50+ year tradition of Rock and Roll for inspiration. Cookie Renn replaced Rick after a move to Tuscon left the guitar spot vacant in 2005.Album, featuring three songs recorded and produced by The Glammer Twins (Bam and Share Ross- Dogs D Amour, Wildhearts, Vixen, Bubble etc.) and eight self-recorded and produced songs, is available at cdbaby now!!!:CDBABY LINK for RAGGED HEARTS: Her Bright White Light --
