Ross Valory, bassist and original member of Journey, is set to release his debut solo album, All of the Above, in April, and he’s giving fans their first taste of the record.

Valory, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Journey, has just dropped the video for the new instrumental single “Tomland,” which features guitarist Miles Schon, son of Journey’s Neal Schon, drummer Prairie Prince and keyboardist Eric Levy.

“I have been revisiting material that has been accumulating, and I am sharing some of my favorite songs for the first time!” Valory shares of the record, noting on YouTube that fans should be “unprepared for a very eclectic album.”


Here’s the track list for All of the Above:

“Wild Kingdom”

“Nightflower”

“Tomland”

“Touched, Part II”

“Windmill”

“Incident at Neshabur”

“Low Rider”

“No One Wins a War”

I’m surprised Miles is on the recording. Did he and Neal have a falling out?

In the Youtube video Comments. Miles indicates it was recorded 8 years ago.

However, I did see speculation somewhere that Neal and Miles had issues. But I really have no idea.

I listened to it and liked it. Very happy for him and definitely will buy the album.

I'm really digging this! And the thought occurred, if NS ever does a Piranha Blues II...????

Geez, Tomland is really really good just as it is, BUT, what if it were re-tooled a bit where Neal & Miles traded licks, put some more organ (B3?) on it, made the drums & bass just a little louder, edgier, crescendoing as the song progresses... I mean, just expand the production and let it all ride for another minute or so. It could be an epic finish to PBII, no?

Like I said, just a thot...oh well.
