Bio:

Target was an exciting US quintet from Memphis that featured the legendary Jimi Jamison (Cobra, Survivor) on vocals. They released two albums on A&M in 1976 ("Target") and 1977 ("Captured"). However, it has come to light that a third album was recorded in 1979, entitled “In Range”, before the band split in 1982.While vocalist Jimi Jamison did go on to greater heights - thanks to his stints fronting Cobraand Survivor, not to mention releasing an impressive catalogue of solo records – Target was the band with whom he first made the progression from playing the bars and clubs to touring as a major label act opening for the likes of Black Sabbath and Styx. However, the debut Target LP wasn’t the singer’s first album recording credit. Nor bassist Tommy Cathey’s either. Having started to work together in a band called Omaha in the early 70s, an opportunity to hook up with another project was just too good to miss, as the latter explains: “After a stint in Omaha with Jimi, we both wanted to explore the chances of original music”, recalls Cathey. “David Beaver had been doing original music for a couple of years so we gravitated to that. We did two records with D. Beaver, of which only one was released (‘Combinations’ on the TMI label in 1973). Right after the second record, Jimi and I were ready to take the splash into forming our own band to do original music, so we teamed up with guitarist/organist Buddy Davis and formed Target. We still played cover music to pay the bills, but all along writing our own music and trying to be a good rock and roll band!” The band toured substantially back then and it was a shame that the band split before that third release saw the light of day "In Range" was recorded in the autumn of 1979. It took the band about two to three weeks to do this third album. What an album it is though! This is Target’s best recording, chock full of quality songs and musicianship. It's criminal it has laid dormant for so long, but here it is for you on Escape Music.Here is what bassist Tommy Cathey says about the recording: “I think what I'm most proud of with the third album is the maturity of our songs and the developing sound we were getting in the studio. This album doesn't sound like the first two and I consider it to be the best of the three! We produced it ourselves and I think you can tell the distinction from the first two albums. The third album is all Target with no outside help or direction! I am very proud of our efforts and I hope all our fans and a new generation of fans will appreciate the music!”

Album:

TARGET was the first band bringing the great Jimi Jamison to major attention releasing a pair of albums for A&M never officially appeared on CD before now with the special remastered treatment by Rock Candy Records. Target second and final album “Captured” includes 6 bonus tracks in this reissue.During the Seventies, Memphis was a hot bed of musical talent. Sure, its blues and r ‘n’ b roots had always been proudly on display, but with the explosion of FM radio, bigger live venues, and the establishment of a renown studio (Ardent), the city seemed to be providing its home grown musicians with an opportunity to set the world on fire.None of these possibilities were lost on Target, a cabal of tough rockers keen to stamp their identity on the local scene and beyond.Riding a wave of creativity and seeking to maximise their already solid reputation as a band to watch, Target took the recording of this, their second album, with an impressive sense of purpose.Their debut album had been well received, but “Captured” showcased a band looking to maximise not only their sound but also their image, profile and appeal.Retaining their South bluesy roots, the album was recorded by producer Paul Hornsby (the Allman Brothers Band, Marshall Tucker Band) at the famed Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia.Tougher than the debut, the album oozes a decidedly British influence, bringing to mind the likes of Humble Pie, Bad Company and Trapeze, with vocalist Jimi Jamison developing his unique, velvety rasp, which would later serve him well as the frontman of Survivor.Sadly, swamped by insurmountable business and managerial problems, Target eventually dissolved, leaving behind two fine but now little known albums.Fortunately Rock Candy come to the rescue with this stupendous remastering, plus the only Target live recordings (Jamison rocks) available as bonus.
