Empires is the second solo album from American rock singer-songwriter Jimi Jamison, released under the name Jimi Jamison's Survivor on October 17, 1999 [1] for Scotti Brothers, was distributed in Germany by Soulfood Music and produced by Klay Shroedel.
In 2003, after a battle in court over access to the name Survivor, this album would be re-released under his own name for Frontiers Records. The album highlight is the Baywatch hit theme song; [2] as bonus tracks, it includes three live versions of previous Survivor songs ("Burning Heart", "Rebel Son" and "Too Hot to Sleep") plus the Christmas song "Keep It Evergreen" and a cover of the 1976 hit song " Love Is Alive" by Gary Wright.
