Departure

Journey

Recorded over a few weeks, this project presents a direct and punchy quality. It feels more akin to a live concert than the calculated studio efforts that followed later in the decade.

This release highlights the movement from earlier blues-based compositions to a refined melodic approach. With the inclusion of the track Any Way You Want It, the group solidified the stadium-filling identity that defined their success throughout the eighties.
