Country Survivor: Iconoclassic Preps Another Unreleased Jimi Jamison Album, in a Different Genre

June 18, 2024 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

Iconoclassic Records will celebrate the life of former Survivor and melodic rock singer Jimi Jamison with its second release of previously unreleased material this summer: a country-flavored recording from 2007, entitled Jimmy Wayne Jamison. For much of rock band Survivor’s tenure – particularly a stellar run from 1984 to 1989 – Jimi Jamison was its voice: melodic and expressive, bringing gravitas and tenderness to pop hits like “I Can’t Hold Back,” “High on You,” “The Search is Over,” “Burning Heart,” “Is This Love” and more. After a return to the band in the…

June 14, 2022 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

As the voice of Survivor between 1984 and 1989, Jimi Jamison (1951-2014) introduced such powerful rock staples as “I Can’t Hold Back,” “Is This Love,” and “The Search is Over.” Formerly of the bands Target and Cobra, Jamison melded a fiery, powerful tone with raw emotion to become one of the defining voices of his generation. With Survivor having gone on hiatus following the release of 1988’s Too Hot to Sleep, Jamison pursued a solo career which bore fruit on the 1991 Scotti Bros. release When Love Comes Down. However, that wasn’t…
