Untold Passion - Neal Schon and Jan Hammer (1981)

Neil Schon doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions to Journey. Aside from the occasional blazing guitar solo, he never got to show off his guitar god skills in his day job.

Here he joins Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Jan Hammer (who also plays drums, apparently, and plays them very well) to tear through some dirty hard rock.

Tracks I Liked

I’m Down - brings kind of a Zappa vibe to the party that the show choir kids aren’t really into

Arc - a much more poppy instrumental piece that still rocks pretty hard
