CD Journey – Escape

Experience a definitive moment in rock history with Journey’s Escape. Widely regarded as the album that solidified the band’s "trinity" of songwriters—Neal Schon, Steve Perry, and Jonathan Cain—this release represents the pinnacle of their melodic rock evolution. Upon its original debut, it turned a corner for the band, blending Motown-influenced rock vibes with bluesy guitar work and Perry’s legendary vocal performances.

This 2006 Columbia CD release offers a chance to revisit the anthems that have become the "feel-good soundtrack of humanity." From the generation-defining "Don't Stop Believin'" to the compassionate storytelling of "Open Arms," Escape is packed with hits that remain cultural benchmarks today.
