Thanks for coming by to check out my music.
A little about this CD and myself. "It's Your Life" was recorded in New Orleans, using some of the best musicians New Orleans has. The CD had just been sent out for pressing, when Hurricane Katrina was headed our way, and we had to evacuate. "It's Your Life" sat at the CD manufacturer for almost two months, while myself and my family figured out where we were relocating to, since our neighborhood, Lakeview, was wiped out.
We've landed in Orlando, FL and from here I am releasing my debut solo CD. I am in the process of finding new musicians and replacing my equipment, so I can get out and promote "It's Your Life". In the meantime, if you like what you hear--buy it! And if you buy it, let someone else hear it and maybe they'll buy it too. Or buy more than one and get a 20% discount at CD Baby and give one to all your friends!

PS-If you want to help other New Orleans musicians, besides myself, check out the recently released CD "From the Lone Star to the Gulf Coast" here on CD Baby. It's a compilation CD of New Orleans musicians, recorded post-Katrina in Texas, and proceeds benefit the Tipitina's Musicians Fund of New Orleans. My song, "Down In New Orleans", is included on the CD along with 15 other talented musicians and their tributes to The Crescent City. Just click the link under OTHER CDS YOU'LL Love says "compilation".

Ken Jameson sounds like a regular guy that happens to have extraordinary talents
author: Keith "Muzikman" Hannaleck
Ken Jameson is not in this business to monkey around. The cover of his new CD It's Your Life may imply that but it is simply not the case.
Jameson makes his way through fourteen tracks, some lighthearted and others more serious, that are full of rock-pop melodies and rhythms furnished by his keyboard and vocal talents. He plays piano, the Hammond B3, and a Rhodes to get all of the sounds to merge within each composition. His lyrics fit nicely between the music he creates with the combination of keyboards, programming, and help from various capable musicians that play guitar, bass, percussion, and saxophone. This mix of various instruments coupled with Jameson's pleasant vocal style makes for an enjoyable CD with a nice variety of styles, from the upbeat rock-pop opener "It's Your Life" to the bluesy and funky "One More Thing."
The other factor besides good music is lyrics that make sense. They are simple and direct, and what do you know, you can actually understand what he is singing! This is actually a rarity these days, as I am sure you have noticed if you listen to as many types of music as I do. Jameson is a serious musician that looks at the lighter side of every day domestic life like on the songs "Minivan," which is a humorous take on a guy with a family looking for past freedoms that are long gone. He knows someday he will have his own car again and the ability to jump in and go for cruise will be easy and without worry when the kids are all grown and on their own. Anyone with kids can understand this viewpoint, but then again when you listen to "My Son," it becomes obvious just how important family is. Then there are the warm heartrending songs like "She's My Lady" and "I'll Give It To You." These tracks are pleasing in a musical sense but also hit the soft spot in your heart just right.
Ken Jameson sounds like a regular guy that happens to have extraordinary talents illustrated quite well on this CD. This was a lot of fun to listen to and I enjoyed all the aspects that made it what it is.

Totally Cool!!
author: Mimi Murphy
I really enjoy this CD. I had heard Ken sing in New Orleans before the storm and the CD really shows off his personality. My favorite track is "Down in New Orleans." Being another victim of the storm, the lyrics really hit home. Check this one out!!
