Lost/Forgotten Album #58

[Jon]

 

That hair!

 

Those clothes!

 

It must be 70's music!

 

This week we're going ALL THE WAY back to 1977 and the third Journey release, titled "Next". And this ain't your babysitter's Journey. Is that right though? "Babysitter's Journey"? Maybe it should be "this ain't YOUR Journey, depending on how old your are".

 

Whatever. There's no Steve Perry here, but there is Gregg Rolie.....

 

Instead we have prog-rock, a little Chicago-style rock, some psychedelic rock...kinda everything but the typical "hit single rock". They probably thought they might have had a hit single here, but guess not. Guess that wouldn't happen till the next album.

 

No Steve Smith here either. Instead, it's Aynsley Dunbar on the drums and he's really not too shabby if I say so myself. 

 

If you only know Steve Perry+ Journey, give this album a try, you might like it. If you like 70's music, at least.

 

Nothing else much to say except that I like this album.

MSoTW: Another easy one this week, I'm kind of slacking in this area recently....

 

 

But I'm not slacking here!

I have all 4 of the Wooden Nickel releases, and I haven't heard them in a while, but I specifically thinking the first one was far above the next 3.  But I'll second your request for Jon posting Serpent and will gladly listen again.

Jon, just a heads up, when I search the album data base on the main page and click on the link for this, I get nothing.  I can fix it, but I wanted to make sure the same thing happens to you and that it's not just me for some strange reason.

It happens on the main database for some reason, the L/F database is fine. It's been fixed on the main one.
