Journey Returns with “Freedom”, Featuring Randy Jackson
After much tumult and turmoil over the last few years, Journey has returned with their fifteenth studio album, entitled Freedom. The album breaks an 11-year gap since their last record and is the first to feature bassist Randy Jackson since 1986’s Raised On Radio. Consequently, it’s the first to not feature Ross Valory since his dismissal in early 2020.
Fans of the band’s classic sound will be glad to hear tracks like “United We Stand” and “Don’t Give Up On Us”. Check out Jackson’s uncharacteristically fuzzy tone on “Let It Rain”:
Journey is gearing up to tour in support of Freedom, albeit without Jackson as he recovers from surgery. Bassist Todd Jensen is holding down the low end for the trek, which kicks off July 15th in Las Vegas.
Freedom is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
