The best way to illustrate the power of live music is to bring together a diversity of musicians who may have never before performed together.

- StarsSteve PerryNeal SchonJonathan CainTraveling in this documentary about a California band, Journey. Formed in 1973 and, released LP's from 1975-1977 were commercial failures. To release a fifth LP, CBS Records issued the band an ultimatum "if you don't come up with hits, or we'll drop you." Manager Herbie Herbert, listened to a demo of a band called "Alien Project" and, hears a voice that would take the band to a brand new direction. The singer was Steve Perry and, he was hired to be Journey's lead singer. Journey released "Infinity" in 1978 and, the album was a hit. The album spawned hits; "Wheels in the Sky", "Lights", "Feeling That Way" and, "Anytime". Journey, became a household name. In 1981, Journey's career boosted when they released their best selling album to date "Escape" with singles, "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms". More hit albums and singles followed, personal matters were affecting Steve Perry while on the road. His mother was dying from a rare disease and, the split with his girlfriend Sherry Swafford. In 1985, problems within the band begun to fester. Steve Smith and Ross Vallory were dismissed and, the band was streamlined as a trio. One year later, Journey released "Raised on Radio" and, the album unleashed hits; "Girl Can't Help It", "I'll Be All Right Without You", "Be Good To Yourself" and, "Suzanne". In 1987, Journey had disappeared from view. In 1996, the classic lineup recorded "Trial By Fire" and, the band wanted to tour to support the album. Unfortunately, it became impossible to tour because, Steve Perry suffered a degenerative bone disease while hiking in Hawaii. Neil Schon and Johnathan Cain, re-formed the band and hired Steve Augieri as their frontman in 1998.
- DirectorBeth HarringtonStarsRoy AcuffCharline ArthurLa Vern BakerTheir stage antics were sassy, bordering on aggressive. Their vocal styles featured distinctly "unladylike" growls, hiccups and moans. Their lyrics spoke of parties and hot rods, flirtations and teen angst. To say that women such as Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Janis Martin and Lorrie Collins were ahead of their time is a gross understatement. Uniquely American artists, yet loved by enclaves of dedicated fans the world over, these were the women of rockabilly music, rock and roll's country cousin. For a few brief moments, they burst onto a predominantly male scene with an unprecedented musical message of female assertiveness. They not only bucked the staid notion of what was appropriate to sing as a country star, but they also rejected the models of post-war femininity that were being marketed in the wider culture, models of suburban wedded bliss and a return to "traditional" motherhood. Some of these women were part of a natural evolution in country music, others were the product of calculating music producers looking for a Rockabilly Queen to Elvis Presley's King. Although their day in the sun was short-lived, many of these women perform today and speak with pride of a time when were genuine trailblazers, personifying an exuberance, sexuality and defiance that was burgeoning in the music of 1950s America. Welcome to the Club - The Women of Rockabilly is their story.

They revive Franks music in a fresh context that is -- above all else -- true to the elder Zappas unique and impeccable sonic heritage.
