\"\"<\/a>With his stellar new solo release \u201cCrossroads Moment\u201d having recently been released in the USA, we thought it was an opportune time to catch up with the legend that is Jimi Jamison.<\/p>\n

For those readers who may not be acquainted with the works of Jimi Jamison, allow us to indulge ourselves for a few moments for a quick rundown of his musical background. Former lead singer of Survivor during the era that spawned Top 10 hits in \u201cBurning Heart\u201d from the Rocky IV Soundtrack, \u201cHigh On You\u201d and \u201cThe Search Is Over\u201d.\u00a0 Writer and singer of the Baywatch theme \u201cI\u2019m Always Here\u201d, he has also contributed his vocals to recordings by artists as diverse as Australia\u2019s very own Johnny Diesel, Krokus, Jeff Healey Band and is regarded by Billy Gibbons as the \u201c4th member\u201d of ZZ Top.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Jimi has released two highly regarded solo albums that illustrate that Jimi is still at the top of the game when it comes to the upper echelon of AOR\/melodic rock performers.\u00a0 Jimi can also be found sharing the stage with Gunnar and Matthew Nelson along with the revolving cast that is \u201cScrap Metal\u201d.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, we present to you Jimi Jamison.<\/p>\n

Jimi thanks for taking the time to have a chat with us.\u00a0 Your most recent album, \u201cCrossroads Moment\u201d has been out now for some months, what has the response to the album been thus far?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nSo far the response has been really great.\u00a0 The reviews in all the magazines and print has been better than I could have hoped for.\u00a0 I’m really happy about that.<\/p>\n

Whilst we have had the pleasure of living with the new album since it was first released, we were surprised when we realised it was only recently released in the USA. Was there any particular reason why it took so long to be officially released in the USA?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI’m sure it had something to do with this being the first CD that Frontiers Records has released in the US.\u00a0 I’m not privy to all the in and outs of releasing a record in a different country but I’m reasonably sure that\u2019s the reason.<\/p>\n

Jim Peterik who you worked with on Crossroads Moment is the songwriter of some of the most memorable melodic rock songs too ever grace our ears and your collaborations on this album are no exception. Can you give us a bit of an insight into songwriting process for the new album and the musical chemistry you have with Jim?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIt was kind of a unique situation.\u00a0 Although I pretty much handed Jim the reings\u00a0 as far as writing is concerned on this cd we would sit around and just talk about what was going on in our lives and all that we had been through over the past several years\u2026.. events that changed us in any way and events that happened during the making of the cd \u2026\u2026 the songs were born out of those conversations.<\/p>\n

The songs and concepts behind Crossroads Moment, convey a reflective, positive and uplifting vibe, complimented by your vocal delivery which sublimely portrays these emotions, look no further than \u201cAs Is\u201d.\u00a0 Is it stating the obvious in saying that this is something you placed high importance on with this album and your work in general?\u00a0 We ask this, as sometimes, this connection seems to be lost on some music artists.\u00a0<\/strong>
\n“As Is”\u00a0 is probably my favorite song on the cd and you hit the nail on the head with your observation.\u00a0 It sums up all the other thoughts and actions of the cd with the single line “Take me as is”.<\/p>\n

You have a bunch of shows lined up in the coming months, in the USA, UK, Europe and Spain. Are you looking forward to getting out and playing songs from the album? Have you put together a band yet that you will take on your UK\/Europe and Spain shows?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI have a couple of the positions filled and I’m using different people on shows here and there to check out the chemistry and to make sure their style of playing matches up.\u00a0 There are a lot of great players out there but sometimes you need more than just a great player.<\/p>\n

You are involved in the \u201csupergroup\u201d Scrap Metal with Matt and Gunnar Nelson and you recently played a show with Janet Gardner from Vixen and Jani Lane formerly of Warrant.\u00a0 How did that show go and how did you get involved with Scrap Metal?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI love those guys.\u00a0 You couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people\/musicians to play with.\u00a0 The show was in the Wolf Den at the Mohegan Sun Casino and what a great show it was.\u00a0 Jani was great but Janet knocked my socks off\u00a0 and of course Gunnar and Matt are always at the top of their game.<\/p>\n

If I remember correctly, we met at a show we did together and just hit it off. So now I’m an official guest member of Scrap Metal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Having rocked stages the world over (except Australia!) is there any particular performance, city or tour that stands out as being particularly memorable?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLive at the Buddakan in Japan would have to be one of the most memorable performances.\u00a0 We filmed 2 sold out shows there for MTV.\u00a0 I believe they are still shown on tv now and then and the video is still available and is being re-released by Sony\/BMG soon.<\/p>\n

What gives you the most satisfaction from performing and writing music?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWalking into the control room and getting the feeling of being moved when listening to a song which just came from some place in your head\u2026..\u00a0 and now here it is for everyone to hear.\u00a0 For everyone to kind of read your thoughts at the moment you came up with the idea.<\/p>\n

I suppose a lot of people would naturally think its about making money.. but for me .. it was never about money.<\/p>\n

You grew up in Memphis and still remain there. I have visited a couple of times and it is certainly a city that holds a certain charm. How do you find the Memphis of today to the city you grew up in?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe charm of\u00a0 Memphis for me was the fact that it\u00a0 has such a heritage with Elvis, Stax Records, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ardent Studios, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and so many more icons of music today that it has grown into a place \u2026 not for the business side of music \u2026 but a place where the talent and styles of music are born.\u00a0 There are so many new artists building followings that I think it is still the same in that respect.<\/p>\n

A question which always intrigues us is another\u2019s knowledge or association with Australian music. Are there any particular Australian artists you have particularly taken an interest in or worked with over the years? We are aware you did some backing vocals for Diesel on his Hepfedility album some 18 or so years ago. (He is still going strong over here incidentally!)\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJohnny Diesel\u2026. What can I say?\u00a0 He is one of my all time favourites\u2026. Never lets his fans down\u2026. Never a bad song \u2026.. it was such a great pleasure to get to know him and work with him\u2026 I’m a true fan.<\/p>\n

There are so many great bands that came out of Australia\u2026.. too many to name and I’m so proud to have been associated with several of them.\u00a0 In 1976 my band Target toured with The Little River Band on their first US tour. We were supporting acts for Black Oak Arkansas who were the biggest touring act at that time.\u00a0 I didn’t get to know them well at that time \u2026 all I knew was that their harmonies and songs were really good.\u00a0 Years later, my band and LRB\u00a0 performed a lot of shows together during which Glen Shorrock and I became good friends.\u00a0\u00a0 He is really a great singer\/songwriter.\u00a0 Time passed and Glen left the band but just recently I was in talks with LRB about being a special guest on one of their tours with them backing me.\u00a0 It fell through but you never know\u2026 it could happen.<\/p>\n

Another of my favorite Australian bands that I’ve done many shows with is Men At Work.\u00a0 Great band and Colin is really a good dude.<\/p>\n

Cobra\u2019s \u201cFirst Strike\u201d was recently reissued, some 25 years after it\u2019s initial release.\u00a0 Looking back, what are some of your vivid memories of the Cobra days and your thoughts on \u201cFirst Strike\u201d as an album, some 25 years since it\u2019s release?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nYou know\u2026.. it\u2019s a even better album than I thought it was back then.\u00a0 We were on Quite Riot’s first tour and man\u2026\u2026 we rocked the house every night. We really didn’t know what we had back then.\u00a0 Had we stayed together it could have been a really big band.<\/p>\n

With Frankie Sullivan being the only original member of Survivor left in the band, and with yourself, Jim Peterik and original Survivor lead vocalist Dave Bickler teaming up on \u201cCrossroads Moment\u201d with the song \u201cWhen Rock Was King\u201d, do you think this collaboration will be as close as what will ever be to a Survivor reunion?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFor right now\u2026\u2026\u2026 probably \u2026.yes.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on the state of where music is at in 2009?\u00a0\u00a0 Do you take much of an interest in modern music and are there any particular artists that appeal to you?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nSure,\u00a0 I think there is a lot of good music out there today.\u00a0 A lot of bands are revamping the old classics which is a good thing.\u00a0 I think radio should play more new music from artists who have really good track records from a few years back instead of playing just “Classic Rock” as they call it now.\u00a0 A lot of these groups and solo artists have some great new cd’s that aren’t being given the chance to be heard by the record buying public now.<\/p>\n

Last year whilst in Stockholm, the big rock club there played \u201cI\u2019m Always Here\u201d, not once, but twice in a night and here in Melbourne, Australia we have an AOR\/melodic rock band \u201cWhite Widdow\u201d who have \u201cBurning Heart\u201d in their setlist.\u00a0 Did the boy growing up in rural Mississippi and Memphis in a time when Elvis was King, ever dream that maybe one day his very own musical legacy would also reach all corners of the globe?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nOh yes\u2026 but at the time it was only a dream \u2026\u2026 I never thought would come true.\u00a0 I never even planned music as a career really.\u00a0 I just did it because I loved doing it.\u00a0 Never did it for money and never did to get the girls.\u00a0 We loved playing live and even loved rehearshing.\u00a0 I remember rehearsing in a house that was so cold that you could see your breath as you sang.\u00a0 We had to wear our coats and the guitar players had to put on their gloves between songs<\/p>\n

In the liner notes for \u201cCrossroads Moment\u201d you mentioned how the album helped you find yourself and provide some clarity for the future.\u00a0 In closing, do you have anything you feel that is still unfulfilled as far as you and music is concerned?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI don’t think an artist is ever fulfilled when it comes to music.\u00a0 Its something that gets inside you like a drug that keeps you wanting to do more, accomplish more,\u00a0 knowing that the greatest song you ever did is just around the corner.<\/p>\n
