Steve Perry - Street Talk

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl LP repressing of this 1984 solo album from the Journey vocalist

Because of the strength of the number three single and "Oh Sherrie," the rest of Steve Perry's first solo album was somewhat overlooked, even though it managed to put three other songs into the Top 40. "Oh Sherrie" deserves its chart placing, accentuating Perry's vocal power, especially throughout the explosive chorus. Both "Foolish Heart" and "She's Mine" aren't as strong, but they do provide the same type of romantically florid appeal that made "Open Arms" and "Faithfully" hits for Journey, minus the sturdiness of his former band. Street Talk proves that Perry's song writing and vocal prowess is worthy of its acclaim. — Rovi
