- The official video for 'Tomland' by Ross Valory from the forthcoming album "All Of The Above," Directed by Michael Cotten. Cover art by Prairie Prince. 2024 OID Music, LLC ©.
"This is Tomland from my upcoming album "All Of The Above," but the next song is going to be completely different, and the one after that is significantly different and on and on and on... the genre is no genre, so be unprepared for a very eclectic album! There's something for everybody there.
I dedicate this song to the memory of Tom Size, an accomplished and dedicated audio engineer here in the Bay Area. Tom provided me with a lot of encouragement and inspiration to pursue my own music and that's why the song is dedicated to him.... moving on in his absence and continuing on in his spirit." - Ross
Ross Valory - Bass Guitar
Eric Levy - Piano, Organ, Clavinet
Prairie Prince - Drums
Miles Schon - Guitars

So glad this tune is finally out 8 years later! Congratulations Ross. Was an honor recording on this song and working Eric, Prairie Prince, Jacob and yourself
Love that playing!
Great solo Miles! Awesome song too Ross!
Finally! ❤
Was an honor having you play on it! 🙏🙌
This sounds absolutely amazing Ross!
I’m not one to comment, but Ross IS indeed the boss! I was fortunate enough to tour with the Journey guys a handful of years and, trust me, the above comment could not be further from the truth. Ross is a no ego down to earth dude. I was also fortunate enough to track a few ideas in hotel rooms across the country for him which developed into solo works I assume. Him and his wife were second siblings, parents and friends on the road. This music is straight from a bay boys soul and Miles? If u can play like ur “dad” and be a humble guy you’ve MORE THAN surpassed ur genetics my brotha. Great work guys! Travis
Thanks for the kind words Travis 🙏
Fantastic Ross! Great tone on your bass and someone is giving their Dad a run for his money on guitar…a beautiful tribute to the great Tom Size!
Fantastic bass libes! Ross Valory one of the best bassist in the entire world!!!
Great piece of music, young Schon can play 😀
Ross is the reason I play bass!!
I love this bass-led music! Reminds me of Chris Squire’s Fish Out Of Water album with the bass melodies!
As a Early Journey Fan, this is great... Get Greg to do some vocals man!! that would be out of this world!!
Ross is the Boss , it’s been a long Journey for this to see the light , can’t wait to get a physical copy of it , CD 💿
Sounds really fresh. Love the lead guitarist.
It's Miles Schon. Last name checks out
Awwww, Ross, you hit me right in the feelings with this one. You did Tom proud, man.
Love the tone and you bass playing Ross! Great tribute and the whole band and the mix was awesome! I want more!
I first listened to the track with eyes closed and I loved where the music took me. Then I watched the video and was taken away again through the amazing visuals.
All in all, this is a brilliant piece of music. Ross’s bass is wonderfully alive and the rest of the musicians on the track are phenomenal. I love Tomland!
Absolutely awesome! The feel and vibe definitely recalls early Journey but with a much more contemporary and visceral sound... I love it! Been a fan my whole life and as a detail-oriented musician myself, I appreciate how meticulously this album was apparently crafted... I'm all in for the ride and this is certainly THE way drop your first solo album...like a boss!
If this is part of a whole new release of songs….this tone I can hear (the current) SP vocals
Incredible tune!! Great players making beautiful music. The audio quality is great the bass is so clear. Love the mix!
Beautiful... made me cry, thinking of Tom Size and how much he would have LOVED what you created.
A great way to honor a friend! Others already mentioned but I like the modern touch on your bass tone and the old school B3 organ. (I’m not familiar with Eric Leyv, had to look him up.) And having Prairie Prince from the way way back Journey days play drums and Neal’s son, Miles Schon play guitar. Looking forward to more.
This is GREAT! Ross and Miles are amazing together.
Ross an awesome dedication to Tom! Spent many a show hanging out and working with Tom! He is loved and missed by many! Love this song!!!❤🙏🕊
Wow. This is wonderful. Musicianship and production is beautiful.
Thank you Ross. Can't wait for the full release.
Amazing, can’t get any better. Great tribute to Tom. All the best. 😊
This is such an amazing song! It's a great tribute to Tom. I bet he would've loved it. I love the instruments and those who played it! Great that Prairie and Miles played on this, both are awesome at drums and guitar. Looking forward to the new album, Ross! ❤
Thanks so much!
Awesome, Ross! any chance you can link to less-compressed version of video? Michael's images are brilliant, tho YT manages bandwidth to a prohibitive extent. Your composition and tone here are absolutely stellar!
and, as you discovered in rehearsal studio (or Gregg shared prior,) prepping for 1990 The Storm tour, "not THAT Bill Thompson."
Looking forward to the next releases - killer stuff!
That was awesome. Bass and guitar tones are great! I can't wait to hear the album!
Ross... the reason I started playing bass and my biggest influence! Awesome tune sir!
This is beautiful Ross. I absolutely love it!!! 🩷💞🩷
Awesome, Great track, well played and well mixed!
Great guitar by Neal Schon's son Miles. Always love me some Hammond B3. And great digital animation, an ode to Joshua tree and nature. California poppies are a great touch!🌺♥
Awesome stuff, Ross! Love your "lead" bass work all over this track. Congrats!!
Looking forward to your new album great Ross
This is fantastic!!! Can't wait to hear rest of the album!!
Sweet tune, Ross! Wishing you success with your new release!
Great tune! Can't wait to blast this on the open road!
LOVE IT…AND YOU!!!!!
🙏🙏
Ross is so cool.
WOW. I love what you did with the aerial views. Remindied me of flying over the landscape on the ride at Disneyland. Then you throw the "touching ground" The scenery is gorgeous. Then ending with you walking into the landscape of your life.
Ok now to the music. Very eclectic. Oh wow. I absolutely love, love it. Perfection. ❤
Lovevthe dedication to Tom Size.
I haven't heard something so cool in a while!!!
Hey Ross. Been a fan of yours since seeing you in 1973 in Central Park in NYC, when a band named Journey replaced Joe Cocker that day. You're bass playing was outstanding and melodic that day and has remained so for 50 years. Ive seen you play countless times with Journey, being a main reason why Journey sounded so good. Now this. I heard Tomland and the hair on my neck stood up. Congratulations Ross, what a beautiful song man. Thanks for the 50 years of amazing music.
Perfect
What a nice ride! Looking forward to the full album. Bravo
SO GOOD!! Can't wait to hear the whole album!
Thanks Ross !
Mesmerizing!😎
This song does something to my soul: It's been on repeat for a bit, now. I've oftentimes wondered where you'd gone. But come to find out, you were just still making beautiful music. Thanks, Ross!
This is great, Ross. I really like how you allowed the bass to feel like a lead instrument. Great arrangements. Kudos to Prairie, Miles and Eric (in no particular order). Great feel in everyone's playing. I could listen to this stuff all day. When does the full album come out?
Ross you and everyone of Journey Defined 1970's !!
God Bless ❤😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like the new song Tomland Ross! I like the video too! It's really great to see you back and making music again after Journey. I look forward to seeing what else you make but I definitely enjoyed this instrumental track. Congratulations and good luck! I hope that there might be an LP coming out or possibly even out now with your new music? I'm going to have to look and see 👍
Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
Loved the new music Ross! Keep it up!
Pure class ❤
This is badass! Really great tune!
This is absolutely fantastic, Ross! Takes me back to the early days of my favorite San Francisco band. This song reminds me of a phoenix rising from the ashes to take flight, enter a time portal, and emerge on the other side as its younger self! Thank you to you and the band - bravo!
That was fabulous! Awesome video too…🔥🔥
Really nice,can’t wait for the album Ross.
Loved it! You were also great in Journey. Always listened for you beat to keep us rockin back then. Now I rock in the rocking chair ha ha! This video has been a long time coming. Thank you for it. I love the blues so looking forward to some of that.
Love it my man!
Amazing!
That was excellent. Sounds similar to the music off the Japanese import, "Dream after dream."
Beautiful song Ross!! Been a huge fan since Journey's debut!! I've been fortunate to have seen you on "Escape", "Frontiers", "Arrival" tour's, and every time after that here in Honolulu. Thank you for the music!! Aloha!!
Really enjoyed that. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.
Love it! ❤
Billy Sherwood sent me here. So glad he did because this is awesome! Added it to my classic rock instrumental playlist for future listening pleasure. Great collaboration and I'm glad I got to see you play with Journey back in 2008.
Ross :) Love it.....and the bass work !!
I have to mention this is so freaky looking at the ending. I have recurring dreams where I am walking/gliding and not touching the ground..just enjoying nature. Now I have music to go along with me!
Love It!!!!!
I have been hearing your bass since Don't Stop Believing and Wheel in the Sky. My dad was a fan of Journey but, he passed away in 2022. Which makes me the only one Journey fan.
Stellar as always Ross. Excited for your new album. Congrats
This makes me Truly Happy to hear Mr. Valory is playing again.. "Them 2 Numbnuts" are sòòò self absorbed, so they are willing to do anything to keep a sinking ship afloat. You've been the Backbone of the band but the unsung Hero in the end.. Respect 2 U Sir !
It sounds good but unfinished - like a demo that they forgot the vocals on. A good vocalist would tear this up, and it is desperately in need of melody, like most of the album. Vallory should have talked Steve Perry into singing on this just to piss off the other guys.
Ross, I'm not going to beat a dead horse. I just wanted to say that you and Steve Smith got a raw deal, and the fans see it.
Neil has become a little Napoleon. He has gone crazy and more greedy than ever.
It was hard enough to get over Steve Perry and accepting Arnel. But many fans have accepted him. However, having yourself, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain and Neil Schon, that was the iteration people love. I'd say Greg Rolle could fit right in also. However, Journey has become it's own tribute band. Without those core members, it's no longer Journey. I'm talking about the music, the band. I'm not talking about any vocalist. Arnel can pull of a younger Steve Perry. With the members I'm including here, if you closed your eyes and just listened with your ears. Not with your eyes where you see someone other than Perry, you could hear the Journey we loved. Since Neil became whipped (by his wife) and greedy, because of his wife, he sees himself as Journey. One man doesn't make a great band. He is one of many who leave their mark on the music.
Im sorry that you got shafted. I can say with ease, your solo project is great! Tom is a great song! Your bass sounds so much better! You have a midrange growl along with a nasty, great sounding top end grind! I wish you would have had that sound while in Journey. I will say this about your sound. Your sound during the Escape period (the Ovation Magnum) became an iconic sound.
I miss seeing and hearing you in Journey. Same with Steve Smith. I always went to see you guys except during Raised on Radio, because of obvious reasons. Today i will not give my money to the little Napoleon and his hired guns. Without you, Steve and the rest, its no longer Journey. I will not pay the kind of money they want to come and see this tribute band.
God bless you! Thank you for the music! Please continue to put out your music.
Well Miles didn't fall very far from the tree huh? Sounds great, punchy stand out bass tone too Ross. Like it. Ross id fly in to work on some stuff. I've got hella songs and hella ideas. Could be cool. Butyou gotta concentrate on this one. Good luck with it, sounds great!
This is REALLY good!!!
Please please make a TON more like this!!! Wow!
hear great bass just in half a minute more than journey´s albums...cool!....
Wow. The song and then the solo. Amazing. Who is the guitar player?
Ross, i really miss you in journey, i hope you ex pals, in some time in the future forgive the past, and their friendship begins again..... but now, the only thing what you can do, it s wait
You could have told me that was Chris Squire on bass and I would have believed it! That tone is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved hearing this track, Ross is amazing, Miles rocks like a beast and so glad to hear and see the magic that is Prairie Prince!
Wow...... the song is majestic af! O.o Thank you Ross!
Wow !! Was that Neal Schon shredding that guitar ? If so, that was Schon at his best
Billy Sherwood (Yes) brought me here (as he us a huge fan of Ross, so great).
It Desperately needs Vocals. I would've loved to have heard Ross take a shot at it.👍🏾
Awesome Ross!
Beautiful song guys!!! Wow.
