Crossroads Moment is the third album by American singer-songwriter Jimi Jamison released in Europe July 11, 2008 for Frontiers Records. The album was produced by Jim Peterik, distributed in Germany by Soulfood Music and released in the United States in 2009. The big accomplish of the album is that was voted #3 album of the year in Europe. The sound of the album is no great surprise, it mixes Jimi Jamison's classic AOR voice with the Jim Peterik sound established since his days in Survivor. In other words, everyone delivers and delivers impressively. Song highlights are many, the sign of a strong and consistent record. There is one music video of the single "When Rock Was King" and 2 more bonus tracks "Alive" and "Streets of Heaven".[1]
"When Rock Was King", is another quirky song that features several guest vocalists such as Dave Bickler, Mickey Thomas, Mike Reno, Joe Lynn Turner and Don Barnes. It is a novelty song that reflects on the glory days of rock n roll and is an enjoyable, less serious song.
It took 9 years for another album released from Jimi Jamison, this was because of him reuniting again with Survivor (2000-2006), touring and making the final group's album (Reach).
Bonus tracks for various territories include the moody rock ballad "Alive", a European Bonus track which keeps the quality of the album's main material. Lisa McClowry is on backing volcals, Scott May plays the organ and is written by Donnie Van Zant, Jim Peterik and Johnny Van Zant. The Japanese bonus track is the more effective and haunting "Streets Of Heaven", reflecting on those loved ones lost. A smooth and emotional vocal and a worthy track to add to the album.[2]
The songs "Battersea" and "She's Nothing to Me" are sung by Jim Peterik on the album Extra Moments.
In 2007 Jimi and Peterik Teamed-up and they start working in some unreleased material along with Kenny Mims. The Demos 07 have records mostly from Jim's previous albums. "Come Dacin" is cover by Jamison originally from Ides of March in IDEssencials (2005) and "Live Life" comes from Above the Storm (2006). After they start working in some material, Frontiers Records asked them to do an album.
