By request on Metal Sludge.
Many of us were shocked when Journey suddenly fired Jeff Scott Soto in early 2007. Many of us also wondered why the band would suddenly fire the frontman that helped them regain their momentum. Not many know that one of the biggest factors in Soto's dismissal was the results of a proper recording session done with producer Kevin Shirley the Spring of 2007. Below is a complete song from said session, "The Winds Of Freedom", penned by Jonathan Cain. The studio work with Soto was met with much disapproval from manager Irving Azoff and guitarist Neal Schon. Soto was formally fired on June 12, and current vocalist Arnel Pineda entered the picture soon after. Now you can judge it for yourselves by clicking below.

As an added bonus here is a recording of Journey, with JSS, performing their classic "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" live at Devore, California in November 2006. For you collectors out there, I would highly recommend getting the complete show on CD. It is by far the best bootleg of the tour, next to Atlanta (first night).
