Finally updated. Top of the page is the one show scheduled. Next several scrolls down is Tshirts for sale. Bottom is pictures of Jon, Neal and Arnel. Nothing with Walden, Jackson or the other guy. At the very top it says "full website coming soon." Basically a merch site. journeymusic.com/

I am somewhat surprised that Sony/Columbia/Whomever owns the catalog rights hasn't pushed out a "Journey Ballads" disc at some point over the years. I wouldn't expect it now with no one buying albums anymore and people able to build their own through playlists and/or downloads. Maybe there weren't enough ballad hits to warrant it, though the band sure got tagged with the "power ballad" label.
I went through all of the Perry era albums and here is what I would consider candidates for a Journey Ballads Album:
Patiently Sweet and Simple Good Morning Girl Stay Awhile Who's Crying Now Open Arms Send Her My Love Faithfully I'll Be Alright Without You Eyes of a Woman Why Can't This Night Go on Forever When You Love a Woman When I think of You
Patiently and Sweet and Simple are suspect IMO as ballads, but the only things really close off of Infinity and Evolution. The rest are pretty standard Cain formula, with the exception of Stay Awhile and Good Morning Girl. Probably 2 or 3 more from TBF could fit in this list. Add in Post Perry and the list is probably another 6 or 7 songs, though I don't know which ones really.

Perhaps that is why Sony released it there but not in the US? Too much competition in the US perhaps, or maybe the band didn't want to drive any additional "Corporate Rock" or "Ballad Rock" derision here.
