Sorry people couldn't help it I had to dig out some old Journey albums (I know kill me please now) but wow does that Ross Valory keep it together. Nothing fancy just getting the job done. Good man. |

Are you talking about "old Journey" about 75' or so? Now, that's my favorite edition of the group. Can't really dig the newer Journey, more partial to the older stuff, instrumentals and Beatles influenced tunes!

Ross had some really cool in-your-face midrange honky tones during that time that I really enjoyed. His lines really cut in the mix. I seem to recall he might have even been playing a Steinberger, at least in the videos (not that that means anything, of course). Mike Stone, one of my favourite producers, was involved with those albums too, if I'm not mistaken.
I wonder what Mr. Valory is up to these days? |

Of course, you knew that.  Valory got his start with Boz Scaggs...Good, solid playing. He's touring with the new version of Journey, IIRC. |

Sayin'. |
