Album Review

Evolution is the fifth studio album by Journey. Released in April 1979 on Columbia Records, their first album to feature drummer Steve Smith.

It was the band's most successful album at that time, selling three million copies in the US and charting at #20 on the Billboard 200. They retained Roy Thomas Baker (Best known for his work with Queen) as producer, but drummer Aynsley Dunbar was replaced with Steve Smith, formerly with Ronnie Montrose's band.

According to the book Heavier than Heaven, the album was Kurt Cobain's favorite album from 1979.

Evolution features their first top 20 hit, ''Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin''', which was inspired by the classic Sam Cooke top 20 hit ''Nothin' Can Change This Love'' and reached #16 in the US. ''Just the Same Way'' featured original lead vocalist Gregg Rolie along with Steve Perry. [wikipedia.org]
