Desperate Dreams is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Eddy Raven. It was released in September 1981 on Elektra Records.
Four singles were released from the album: "I Should've Called", "Who Do You Know in California", "A Little Bit Crazy", and "She's Playing Hard to Forget". All four charted within the top 20 of Hot Country Songs between 1981 and 1982.[1]
Record World wrote of the album that Raven's "commercial potential has not yet been reached", while praising the vocal delivery on the singles.[2] Tom Roland of Allmusic thought that the album had more creative control from Raven than its predecessors did.[3]
