'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.

Autorenporträt
Doug Thornton is an author and healthcare technology executive living in Virginia. Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, he attended many Journey concerts in the area before moving to Hawaii, where he saw Journey in better weather. He is an avid collector of books, music, and musical instruments that he can't play. He bought Journey's first three albums after listening to Infinity, which initially confused him, but helped him appreciate their prodigious talents. While he never achieved the size of Neal Schon's 1970s afro, he did perm his hair throughout high school in homage to one of his favorite guitarists.
