REVIEW: KIMBALL/JAMISON - Kimball / Jamison

 


KIMBALL/JAMISON - Kimball / Jamison


Frontiers Records


Bobby Kimball and Jimi Jamison are widely regarded as two of the most remarkable vocalists in the history of melodic rock. Kimball, known for his tenure with Toto, and Jamison, the frontman of Survivor, have both left an indelible mark on the genre. Their longstanding friendship and shared musical aspirations culminated in this collaborative album, which marks a significant milestone for fans of their work.


The album features a selection of songs that showcase the exceptional vocal talents of both artists. The performances are consistently impressive, and the chemistry between Kimball and Jamison elevates the material, making it a noteworthy entry in the realm of melodic rock duets. The songs themselves are of high quality, demonstrating strong songwriting and melodic depth.



Production-wise, the album bears the signature of Mat Sinner, whose approach tends to lean towards a heavier sound. While this lends a certain vigor to the tracks, it occasionally detracts from the traditional melodic rock aesthetic, potentially overshadowing the vocals in some instances.


Overall, this record stands out as a compelling listen for fans of the genre. It offers a collection of well-crafted songs delivered by two legendary voices, resulting in a release that is both memorable and worth exploring. Despite some production choices, it remains a valuable addition to the discographies of Kimball and Jamison, and a recommended purchase for melodic rock enthusiasts.
