Extra Moments – Jimi Jamison/Jim Peterik
I just received the Extra Moments CD this past week. The CD features Jimi Jamison and Jim Peterik. The CD contains tracks that did not make it on Jimi Jamison’s Crossroads Moment CD and demo tracks with Jim Peterik on lead vocals. With the co-operation of Frontier Records, MelodicRockRecords was able to release the Extra Moments CD.
Most of the songs were written during 2008 – 2009 with the exception of “Cry of the Wild Heart” which is actually one of the songs that Jimi Jamison sung while auditioning for Survivor back in 1983/84. There is also one demo track sung by Jim Peterik that made it on the Crossroads Moment CD, “She’s Nothing to Me”
There are no tracks I disliked or used the ”fast forward button” on as with other CDs I’ve listened to in the past. I’ve listened to the tracks the past 4 or 5 days in the car and they are all great. The quality of the recordings are top notch even the demos are quite good to be considered demos. In a way, both Crossroads Moment and Extra Moments sound like a continuation of Survivor of the 80s which makes sense since Jim Peterik was one of the song writers of Survivor during the 80s. Also the CD contains liner notes from Jim Peterik.
For songs written for, but not contained on the Crossroads Moment CD for what ever reason they are really great. Jimi Jamison, Jim Peterik and all those involved have done a terrific job on this CD. To hear samples of the CD, click here.
Here is a video from Crossroads Moment’s track “When Rock was King”.
