The concept seems perplexing, yet it makes perfect sense. The singer was born Jimmy Wayne Jamison in smalltown Mississippi. He performed songs by The Marshall Tucker Band in his dues paying club days, cut background vocals for Molly Hatchet, and sang prominent harmonies all over ZZ Top’s massive Eliminator album. Those who knew him best said that you could hear his Southern roots, even when he joined Survivor. Meanwhile, master songwriter Jim Peterik had written with Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, and Blackhawk. “I heard what I called ‘the yodel’ in his voice,’” he explains. “It’s not really Southern, but he’s got a catch in his voice that I made sure was in every song.” When we think of country music today, the line often blurs between true old school country, pop, and straight up rock \u0026amp; roll. The same is true with Jimmy Wayne Jamison, which at times, doesn’t stray too far from the Jimi Jamison that we all know and love so dearly. “It’s not like he sings this album with a certain twang or anything like that, it’s just Jamison,” Peterik offers as an expert summary. “There’s really not a huge dividing line, the ‘rock Jamison’ and what you’re hearing on this record. It’s not like he’s twang-y or anything like that. Maybe it’s a little gentler? But he’s still rockin’.” Jimi Jamison’s Jimmy Wayne Jamison album has never been heard…until now!

Recorded across three vibrant shows in Little Rock, AR, Nashville, TN, and Bettendorf, IA, this album showcases Jamison’s electrifying live presence and undeniable vocal prowess as he revisits some of the most iconic songs from his time with Survivor, along with deep cuts, original solo work, and inspired covers. Backing Jamison is a seasoned and soulful ensemble: longtime collaborators Jeff Adams (bass, vocals) and Hal Butler (keyboards, vocals) were joined by guitarist Chris Adamson, drummer Pete Mendillo, and Memphis-based producer and guitarist Wes Henley, who also supervised this live album recordings. This lineup reflects a strong musical camaraderie built over years of touring, with several members having roots alongside Jamison dating back to his 1970s band Target. One standout from the set is a haunting performance of “Riders on the Storm” by The Doors—a testament to Jamison’s ability to tap into a wide range of emotions and his gift for storytelling through song. His delivery brings an atmospheric intensity, drawing the listener deep into the moment. The tracklist includes fan favorites such as “Burning Heart,” “High on You,” “I Can’t Hold Back,” “The Search Is Over,” and “Eye of the Tiger,” all songs that defined a generation of melodic rock. Deeper cuts like “Oceans” and “Too Hot to Sleep” reveal the richness of Survivor’s catalog, while Jamison’s originals such as “Rock Hard” and “I’m Always Here” (the iconic Baywatch theme) showcase his creative versatility. Of particular note is the interplay between Chris Adamson and Wes Henley on guitars. Though Henley’s primary role was behind the board, his friendship with Jamison and passion for the Survivor material often brought him onstage. Together, he and Adamson bring layered, textured performances that do justice to the intricate compositions of Peterik and Sullivan. Through warm crowd interactions and powerful vocal moments, 1998 Live Hits highlights Jamison’s authentic stage presence, Memphis soul, and deep bond with both his band and his audience. As friends and collaborators reflect, this wasn’t just a group of musicians—it was a family. Now, years later, these recordings allow fans—old and new—to reconnect with a voice and spirit that remains timeless. 1998 Live Hits is more than a concert album; it’s a tribute to an era, a legacy, and the enduring magic of Jimi Jamison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frontiers","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":55948476645707,"sku":"R3215-8980","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55948476678475,"sku":"R3215-4657","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Jimi-Jamison-1998-Live-Hits-LP-171854-1-1762329417.jpg?v=1763659552"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/jimi-jamison.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
