Journey guitarist Neal Schon says he is working on a new album with producer and songwriter Marti Frederiksen for release this year.

In an interview to AZ Central, the songwriter and vocalist said that work on four songs was underway in Nashville.

“And they definitely have commercial viability. The story with [Frederiksen] is gonna be a Chris Stapleton story, because he’s written so many hits for Aerosmith, Foreigner and many, many others. And he has an amazing voice. The second I heard him sing, all the hair on my arms stood up,” Schon added.

Schon said he hoped to record the full album while former Journey member Gregg Rolie was busy touring with Ringo Starr.

“I’m gonna put another band together and go out with that while Gregg is busy, and we have to put JTT on hold for a second,” Schon told AZ Central.
