Not necessarily but the way Neal blows up Twitter he will....

No need to put a year on it, right? Because we all know it is tentatively scheduled for THIS coming October. He was involved in the Wonder Woman film, so we can all wait. Like Lora said, it will be worth the wait. And thanks Lora and Cyndy and T. McQuaid and Jeremy H., and perryfan and Memorex and many others who are true fans and most importantly friends of this man. You may not know him to be called a personal friend, but you are a friend, nonetheless. Someone who sticks by him, through it all. Look forward to hearing from The Voice soon.

Wait, what? First I heard about A) Tentatively scheduled for October, and B) Steve's involvement with the Wonder Woman film. Did he have a song on the soundtrack?

Are we sure we're not getting mixed up with a Steve Perry who is a producer/director (or maybe an assistant to) that has worked on several other movies? Not the same Perry of Journey, but shares the name.

I am sure we would have heard at least something by now being almost mid August.
And sad because with all the crap going on with Journey it would be great to have him release some new music.
If he does it next year it might be in the midst of two different Journey bands.

"I just got off of the phone with Tony Brock, the drummer for the Babys, who I just interviewed, and Steve Perry came up in the discussion. Apparently, Tony and Steve are good friends and Tony said that from what he understands, Steve Perry's new solo album is complete and mastered. He is also hoping that Steve and the Babys can put a tour together sometime soon."

With the exception of Street Talk, if his new album is anything like past solo efforts, music labels won't want to take a chance on distribution rights because this type of music simply will not sell. As much as I like Steve Perry's voice, his FTLOSM and (unreleased) Against the Wall albums were not good. The vocals were good, but songwriting/lyrics were pretty bad.
scarab wrote:The unreleased Against the wall was very hit or miss. Not sure if there was a single there that would have went top 10.
Still would love to know if this was 1984 late (like Perry mentioned himself or 1988 which everyone presumes.)
But FTLOSM, he did very well going gold in a grunge market. I could not believe it when I heard You better wait on top 40 radio(they were playing grunge and pop then- heard it tons on AOR stations though.)
Sad that the three songs (or more) never were released. Lost Angels, Let Go, and Home At Last.
Anyway should have been the second single. Think it would have been top 40, at least promoted.

It was released in 1994, YBW reached the Billboard Top 10, and it was certified Gold. Not shabby at all.
I do agree that ATW will likely not see the light of day, because if Perry had wanted it to.. it would be out already.
As far as if a new Perry album would sell.. it would. Perry has the happy predicament of being the voice of the sountrack of millions of Baby Boomers lives, and lots of their KIDS.. and they are all connected now on social media...
Selling a new Steve Perry album will be super easy... Perry's gonna get a payday outta this that will make Neal age like a motherfucker...

Well, I'm always in the camp that I'll believe when I see it. Until then, it doesn't exist. That being said, the rock band Disturbed uses the approach of absolutely no word on new albums, no leaks, no nothing. You don't know they have released a new album until it drops on release day. Maybe Perry is taking that route, which is a route that I think other bands should take. That way, you don't get a chance to mentally pick the album apart before you've even had a chance to listen to it.

ATW Steve claims was shelved by Sony and there was nothing that they (meaning him and/or his lawyer) legally could do. Thus the releases of ATW as bonus tracks.
By the way...he has the happy predicament of being the voice for Generation X's kids AND for some of THEIR kids too.

Consider over 2 million YouTube views for his Eel concert performances. If he'd just release the damn thing, I'd buy the CD and download it to iTunes.
