by Neil Daniels (Author)
The definitive account of Journey, a wildly successful band with a lot of history.
The original Journey was a hastily-assembled West Coast band that progressed from jazz fusion to arena-oriented rock, becoming hugely successful in the process.
That shift of direction, as well as the passing of the years, brought about many line-up changes and this first-ever biography traces every twist and turn of the saga, notably Journey's early 80s heyday when front man Steve Perry replaced Robert Fleischman who had himself been hired to supplement keyboard player Gregg Rolie on vocals.
The various shifts of direction and line-up may look daunting, but author Neil Daniel's original interviews and rigorous research have made this biography the definitive account.
