|  | STEVE PERRY-STREET TALK CD |  |
This CD is wonderful!. I tried to locate it at a local Best Buy ann the never had it so I remembered Amazon and as always you came thru for me.
This CD is very hard to find in my area because I is Steve Perry solo without Journey. All I was able to find in my area was Journey CD.
I would encourage anyone who was a fan of Journey they must have this Steve Perry-Street Talk CD!

This is an album you will not tire of. The lyrics are meaningful to everyone's life to the point of surprise that someone else feels like you.When put with the music, the songs are haunting and beautiful and remarkably fresh no matter how many times you listen. Buy this you will NOT be disappointed. Perry's voice is magnificent.

i was pleasantly surprised to find this coming to me packaged in a digipak version like the other journey 2006 reissue albums that i have been collecting so of course i had to go buy the rest of perry's albums which thankfully for the pocketbook spans only 3 albums while journey is something like 20 albums with all the various compilations and permutations. best song on this album is definitely oh sherrie and foolish heart, the others are ok but take some repeated listening to really enjoy. if you're a perry fan definitely get this album. not as rocking as a journey album but some listenable pop ballads can be found.

Steve Perry's first solo effot,1984's "Street Talk",is softer and more pop-oriented than the albums with Journey,but there's still that distinctive soulful vocal and musical quality that is pure Steve Perry-enough to produce 4 Top 40 singles-the Top 10 "Oh Sherrie",plus "Foolish Heart,"She's Mine" and "Strung Out".Other highlights include the 60s soul homage "I Believe",the ballad "Go Away",and the moving tribute to fallen 60s rock and soul icons "Captured By The Moment".The 2006 edition has excellent remastered sound(by Dave Donnelly)that is vastly superior to previous CD editions,3 interesting unreleased bonus tracks with his pre-Journey band Alein Project in the 70's("My My My My","Harmony","Makes No Difference"),the B-side to "Oh Sherrie"("Don't Tell Me Why You're Leaving")and a song from the "USA For Africa" album("If Only For The Moment,Girl).If you're a fan of Journey or 80's pop-rock,then this is right up your alley.
February 26, 2007I had bought Street Talk when it had orignally came out in the 80's, on Album band tape. Bought it about a year ago on CD, Now again I have bought the new "remastered" version. LOVE it even MORE.... the addition of the bonus songs are great. I can't stop playing "Don't Tell Me Why Your Leaving" and "Makes No Difference" over and over again. What a refreshing change in style and these songs show his fans just what a wonderfully talented performer/artist Mr. Perry is... And "The Voice" should be a standard for what a singer/entertainer should be. Wish he would put out something BRAND NEW.... Doesn't matter what it is, as long as the "Perry Voice" is singing again.
