I have shared this guy a few times on the site. Neal Schon was, and still is, the guitarist for Journey. He got his big break in his very young teenage years probably 13-14 years of age when he got invited to play with both Santana and Eric Clapton in the same week! He played for Santana on one or two albums and then got the call from the producer from Journey to come talk to Steve Perry and see if they hit it off.
Anyway, he has several solo albums out and my favorite is the album "Beyond the Thunder"
Here is "Bandalero" off of that album....
This is "Espanique"
"Boulevard of Dreams"
"Big Moon"
"Zanzibar"
"Send Me An Angel" - written for his wife......

Hi Wiley,Marc,
To me, the definition goes a bit deeper than just "Independent of a Big Name Record Label". If we used that particular definition only, then all those folk out there trying to 'be discovered' would fit into "Indie" also, and maybe they do for a part. "Indie" has become it's own Genre, as a whole.
I tend to think "Underground" or those who say "No, Mr. Record Company Executive, I know you really think I can be a big star, but I ain't gonna sign over my rights to do my music, my way." Question - Boyce Avenue was known as "Indie", what do we categorize them as now since they signed a deal with Universal Republic? Are they still "Indie" or are they something else?
Honestly, I was just trying to have a bit of fun with Tony. Need to work on my humor!
