Former Journey bandmate Jonathan Cain once observed that "God gave Steve a voice that rings like a bell," neatly encapsulating this AOR vet's lasting appeal. His arrival in Journey took the band from obscurity to superstardom, and their attempt to carry on with another singer in the wake of his departure inspires fond thoughts of the post-Jim Morrison Doors. A glance at the title makes it clear that Columbia's not shy about the marketing hook here. Hardcore Perry fans will jump at the chance to hear previously unavailable tracks like "Summer of Luv" and the demo of "If You Need Me, Call Me." Likewise, newbies will be drawn to the perfect pop of "Oh Sherrie" and "Foolish Heart." The connecting thread, Perry's almost unjustly soulful voice, is the distinctive, defining element in these smooth, radio-ready arrangements.
