Steve released this video today. That was bittersweet, but it really told his story. Glad they reconnected.

From Ultimate Classic Rock:

Now dubbed The Season 3, Perry's latest album features five other newly recorded songs including "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Let It Snow." Sessions were co-produced with his Traces collaborator Thom Flowers, and mainly recorded at Perry's home studio with returning drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and multi-instrumentalist Dallas Kruse.

Together, they helped Perry to a reunion with his father that was decades in the making.

"Using technology, we pulled his voice off the cassette and recorded beautiful music around him. Once that was done, an unfulfilled dream of singing with my father was now possible," Perry said. "You see, mom and dad divorced when I was 7, and dad and I never saw much of each other after that."

The completed update of "Call Me Irresponsible" became "a very emotional experience for me. His voice was just as I remembered it as a child," Perry added. "At the end of his cassette, dad says, 'Merry Christmas, God love ya.' To hear him speak again brought tears to my eyes."

It's a very touching video. Lots of emotion built up in him, for sure. His new music is his way of letting it out and working through it. It may not be for a lot of people, but it's no doubt very therapeutic for him.

No sorry. Just not very good, sentiment aside.

William Shatner has done a couple of albums where he just speaks the lyrics to famous songs. He doesn't sing, he just speaks the words.

Sadly, that's about where we're at with Steve Perry anymore.
