Jamie Craig gets his inspiration from the joy and pains of life.
Jamie was inspired to write The Lost Dream intended to capture a person's loneliness and sadness which is experienced when hopes that were once strong and real are never going to materialize. Jamie composed, arranged, played all instruments, recorded, mixed and produced the complete Lost Dream CD.
Jamie is a self-taught musician who began his career playing bass guitar. His fondness for the sounds of a bass guitar is evident throughout the CD, which he uses 8 different bass guitars. He enjoys creating music with complex instrumental layers. Jamie is also an accomplished pianist and enjoys playing a wide variety of guitars. He has been playing and composing music for more than 30 years.
The Lost Dream is available at www.cdbaby.com/jamiecraig. We encourage you to go there and purchase or download the CD.

CD, "The Lost Dream" Available November 26,2007 @ www.cdbaby.com/jamiecraig (make the hyperlink clickable to go to the cdbaby page - should open in a new tab or window)
The Lost Dream is not your mother’s New Age Music. Jamie Craig composed, played all instruments, recorded and produced, The Lost Dream. This loose knit collection of instrumental pieces tells the entire story of The Lost Dream song by song. The CD starts with the title song, “The Lost Dream” gently rolling out like clouds on the first warm day of spring, but when you hear the first thumb slap of a bass string you know this is somehow going to be different. A smooth sax slowly fades in and the song unfolds, unraveling an emotional and evocative instrumental anthem. This sets the tone for the entire works, each piece having its own unique mood as the tunes build on one another, collectively traveling and gathering steam. The CD climaxes with, “Our Lost Dreams” a very somber 6 minute plus number, as awash in gray tones as the stark cover of the CD itself. The mood is set by Cuban percussion and strings which lay a bed for a doleful sax melody, listening one can visualize gray skies, as the cold bitter wind blows and the snow falls in New York City . The CD ends on a brighter more hopeful note with, “Take the High Road.” The closing song takes a moody guitar score and runs with it. The amazing organ work slowly dissolves into some sweet strings as the song and CD end, leaving the listener saying, and “I understand.”
