In this interview, he gets into the weird, eclectic world behind All of the Above, why he never expected to build another music-business career, why the album took more than a decade to finish, and why he still has two more albums worth of material sitting in the vault.

Then things get really interesting. Valory explains how City Lights was resurrected from decades-old recordings, why musicians were easier to find than time to record them, and how much obsessive detail went into the album.

And when the conversation finally turns to Journey, he doesn’t dodge the obvious question: did they know “Don’t Stop Believin’” was going to become an immortal song?

His answer might surprise you.
