Since the group’s formation in 1973, JOURNEY has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. The song was produced by Walden at his Tarpan Studios, with co-production by Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain. “The Way We Used To Be” marked Walden and Derlatka‘s first studio recordings with the band, and Jackson‘s first since 1986’s “Raised On Radio”. The song was the multi-platinum band’s first new music since 2011’s album “Eclipse”, and the first track released by the band’s revamped lineup. “Freedom” will include the single “The Way We Used To Be”, which came out last June. Prior to JOURNEY‘s recent Las Vegas residency, Jackson had been replaced at the band’s 2021 shows by Marco Mendoza, who had played several shows in 2019 with Castronovo and JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon under the “Neal Schon’s Journey Through Time” banner. Jackson - who previously played with JOURNEY during the mid-1980s - was forced to miss all the recent gigs because he is reportedly recovering from back surgery. Walden, bassist Randy Jackson and keyboardist/backing singer Jason Derlatka all joined JOURNEY in 2020 following the band’s acrimonious split with drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ross Valory. Also part of JOURNEY‘s current incarnation is returning drummer Deen Castronovo, who shared the drum duties in the band last year with Narada Michael Walden. JOURNEY‘s current touring lineup features bassist Todd Jensen, a veteran musician who has played for various artists, including the bands SEQUEL, HARDLINE and HARLOW, as well as David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Perry, Alice Cooper and Paul Rodgers.
This past February, founding JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon shared the “Freedom” track listing in an Instagram post. The song is taken from the band’s upcoming album, “Freedom”, which will arrive later in the year.Ī short teaser for “You Got The Best Of Me” is available below. Legendary rockers JOURNEY will release a new single, “You Got The Best Of Me”, on Tuesday, April 26.
