Unreleased Jimi Jamison tracks from a 1993 project

[manny]

Yes, The search is over. Jimi Jamison was part of many projects between 1988 when Survivor was in "hiatus" to 2000 when he returned to Survivor, he wrote several songs too in those years. I knew from a project at about 1993, but I had no more info about it. Now, I have discovered it. He did that project with Steve Cox and was called The MoFo Sessions, you can hear 10 tracks co-wrote by Jamison and Cox and featuring Jamison's Survivor guitarrists Hal McCormack and John Roth. McCormack also played on the song, "Ever Since the World Began", which was featured on the Sylvester Stallone film, Lock Up.
The songs in this project are more in a pop/rock direction, a bit soft and quiet, but Jamison's voice sounds good specially in the great ballad "The big mistake" and in "Fire for a cold heart".

I have listened to that music . I thought Jimi sounded awesome on there .. His vocals with more keyboard / piano sounds incredible.. Jimi should release all his stuff . There are far too many demos and other music he has done that is just laying around.

Now "Take Me To The Otherside" I have, but I've never heard "Trust Turns To Dust" or "The Phone Keeps On Ringing."

Does anyone have good sounding versions of any of those Jamison demos? All of the ones I have sound like crapy recordings. I don't mean the songs, their great, but the recordings that I have on a CD are loaded with tons of hiss and gargle and other crap. My Fire Makes Steel demos sound almost as bad.

If anyone has good sounding versions of those songs please let me know.

Yes, I have never heard the songs "Trust Turns To Dust" ot "The Phone Keeps On Ringing." In fact, I had never even known that he did a song called "Trust Turns To Dust."

"Take Me To The Otherside" I do have however.

I have never had a copy of Jimi's remake of ESTWB either. I've only gotten to hear it from the Stallone movie "Lockup."

Oh, and I've never heard Jimi's song "Keep It Evergreen" either. Is that one a Christmas song or something like that? I bought Empires as soon as it was out, so that songs not on my Empires CD.

Ok .I thought you didn't hear it on the present website that Manny let us know about. With regards to Keep it evergreen, not really following JJ's stuff that much to know whether it was Christmas song.

"Keep it Evergreen" is a Christmas song...it's not bad....

[IngoK]

"Keep it Evergreen" is a Christmas song...it's not bad....

Never liked "Keep it Evergreen" so much, think "Christmas is here" is better.

[Eyeof]

Like i said...not my favorite...not bad though...I'll give it a listen or two during christmas....Christmas Is Here is better....

And I love "Christmas Time" by Bryan Adams...great song...

More info about the Jimi Jamison/Steve Cox Project, these tracks were recorded in 1992/93, most of them were recorded at Jimi's home studio. Steve played synths, programming and vocals, Jim lead vocals, Hal McCormack and John Roth guitars, Buddy Davis, on lead guitar, Buddy was Jimi's bandmate from the Target days. Hal Butler piano and keyboards, Hal played later with SURVIVOR (Jimi Jamison's) until 2000 and played keyboards in "Empires". I think these tracks were not recorded to be a full album beacause of their different styles (pop-rock, reagee, country) maybe they recorded to sold them to other artist.

Many thanks for that one! ... Love most of the songs ... I wish Jimis new album would be as good as most of those ones
Really great find !!!
