Journey's Jonathan Cain has remade the band's hit "Faithfully" into a duet with up-and-coming country music star Mica Roberts. Any chance it'll be a hit? Sure thing. This week, it hit #7 on the adult-contemporary charts.

Good luck finding it on iTunes -- it's not there. Likewise, the CD's webpage on Amazon.com has no sound samples. But go to Cain's website -- www.jonathancain.com -- and you can hear it there.

My first impression: Great job remaking the song into a much more mellow tune while staying -- ahem -- faithful to the original. Cain is no Steve Perry, but then again, Steve Perry isn't Steve Perry these days.

(And yes, I've now won a bet from Times pop music Sean Daly who said there's no way I could put Perry's full name three times in the same sentence.)
