Profile Jonathan Cain is a phenomenal songwriter. He has written for many aritists in the musical industry: Cher – Starting Over, Kenny Rogers – Thought of Losing You, Jimmy Barnes – Too Much Love Ain’t Enough, Michael Bolton – Wait On Love, too name a few. Journey was cut down in their prime! So, what remains are songs that were written for JRNY, but, landed with other artists. This album by Jonathan Cain is a splendid effort, and a stark departure from Journey. This is the reason I love this project so much. Cain did not attempt to duplicate the sound of Journey on this record. He went his own way, and he did an absolutely wonderful job in the process! There is an incredible sense of longing and yearning in the forlorn-type thread that runs through each recording. Blissful piano, a joyous band, and heart-rendering poetry from a consummate musician and, might I add, an accomplished singer.
