The American Dream (1970), a
Philadelphia band whose debut album was
Todd Rundgren's first production credit. More prominent success soon followed when he briefly became the unofficial fourth member of the British blues-rock band
Foghat, producing several of their albums as well, including
Fool for the City, which spawned the band's biggest hit "
Slow Ride." Nick's bass-playing is prominently featured on this track as well as the rest of the album. One of the tracks on the "Fool For The City" album, a cover of the Muddy Waters song "My Babe", was a song that Nick had originally recorded with The American Dream in 1970. He has also released a couple of solo albums:
Already Free and
A Crowd of One , the latter of which featured the single "Weatherman," which cracked the
Billboard Hot 100. The track has a breezy pop-rock feel that was fairly typical of the mid-'80s. It is somewhat similar in terms of both melody and tempo to
Mr. Mister's big hit, "Kyrie," albeit with much lighter percussion. A year later,
Jack Wagner recorded a cover version of the tune (under the title "Weatherman Says"). Another track from the
A Crowd of One album, "Love's Closing In" was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1986 film,
A Fine Mess. Although an American native, Jameson has become well known for his ability to perform in a variety of authentic accents, particularly
British English and Australian. In 2014, after living in
Los Angeles for years, Jameson moved to
Reykjavík. ==Filmography==
