Full Description
'Just a city boy. Born and raised in South Detroit...' so begins the iconic 'Don't Stop Believin'' heard in countless karaoke bars and classic rock stations around the world. It is one of over 250 tracks discussed in Journey: On Track, which covers 50 years of recordings, from the extended jams of their early days to the heights of their popularity as an R&B-influenced powerhouse among America's arena rock gods, and beyond, to their controversial career in the 21st century without 'The Voice', Steve Perry.
They were the brainchild of Walter 'Herbie' Herbert, the visionary who steered them through their most successful period. He built Journey from the remnants of Santana, keyboardist and singer Gregg Rolie, and guitar wunderkind Neal Schon. They surged into the limelight with singer Steve Perry. After adding keyboardist Jonathan Cain, they soared to superstardom. Their post-Perry history is filled with new music and the incredible story of Arnel Pineda.
Critics dismissed them throughout their heyday as 'corporate rock', but they've somehow managed to thrive commercially and culturally on the heritage rock circuit, releasing new albums, and being inducted into the Rock Hall. They still fill arenas and stadiums with their legions of fans.
