First of all, there's the fact that he's a television heartthrob (does 90210 ring a bell?). Second of all, he's an accomplished singer/songwriter (does the smash hit "How Do You Talk To An Angel" ring a bell?). And lastly, he's got some of the coolest sideburns in show business (do James Dean, Elvis Presley, or Walters' own TV co-stars ring a bell?). With all these bells going off, its no surprise to find Jamie Walters' self-titled debut quite an agreeable effort.

JAMIE WALTERS is filled with the kind of pop-rock ditties that would set any teenage girl's heart aflutter. Yet the songs are substantial enough to win over a big sister, and accessible enough to draw in a parent or two. In addition, a number of Walters' musical decisions--most notably, his cover of cool guy Graham Parker's "Release Me" and the choice of Dr. John for eerie background vocals--demonstrate that he has far more nerve than most TV stars that enter a recording studio.

Jamie Walters is poised to be a big pop star, and as he displays on the emotional "Hold On," he has the soul to pull it off.

JAMIE WALTERS ``Ride'' Atlantic

Forget for now Jamie Walters' wholly unpleasant role last season as Ray Pruitt on ``Beverly Hills, 90210,'' in which he was guilty of more bad singing and plain bad acting than any one man should be forgiven for.

But here comes ``Ride,'' Walters' second CD, and the thing is surprisingly pretty good. It helps that Walters surrounds himself with ace session musicians and arrangers (Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Paul Buckmaster), but the kid's also come up with some good tunes - ``Fly On Sweet Angel'' and ``Long Way Down,'' especially. Walters' singing remains too affected, and his lyrics seldom dig deeper than the average ``90210'' script, but ``Ride'' is a nondemanding, upbeat summer CD, and it's much better than skeptics will expect.

JAMIE WALTERS
Ride
Atlantic/Warner

Rather than becoming more expressive, the breathy voice of "How Do You Talk To An Angel" has mastered the art of sounding just plain pouty. Without the outlet of a TV series, Jamie Walters has become entirely reliant on music as the forum for his wiles. Five years ago, his chart-topping pensiveness couldn't prevent The Heights from being cancelled, and hanging around Catwalk couldn't have helped, either. Then, the Drew Barrymore ex-boyfriend joined the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. A more brooding counterpoint to Brandon and Dylan, Ray Pruit was working class to the max, a young man who stole Donna Martin's heart and then threw it down the stairs. He wrote tunes, too -- like "Hold On," a transition between the vapid Jamie Walters of past and the high-octane craftsman who emerges with Ride.

But now Jamie's stranded in the wilderness with a piece of product that is seemingly incompatible with the intellectual domain of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. (Maybe next season's time-travel show with Scott Baio has an opening, though.) And while Walters maintained in interviews for his '94 debut album that he was a new-wave aficionado of sorts, the stakes on Ride seem too high to take that road. The songs reflect a familiar approach -- robust without being decadent, blistering guitar solos that are laborious listening. Little of the playing is Walters' own, left to a cast of studio pros, even though his image as a swoonable six-string-slinger remains paramount. Yet when he tackles Matthew Sweet's "Winona," it's stripped of all effervescence, showing just how tedious a Sweet ditty can be.

Blame, if such a concept applies here, rests on the shoulders of producer Steve Tyrell, accomplice in all Jamie's TV tie-ins thus far. Curiously, it's those tracks bereft of Tyrell's songwriting hand that are most distinctive. The monumental Paul Buckmaster slathers strings on "The Other Side," and Jamie's undoctored composition "The Great Escape" is the least brittle of the entire batch. Another limber tune, "Long Way Down," even manages to skirt the style of Jamie's main name-drop, Graham Parker. Mostly though, Jamie is itching to express himself, without the faintest idea of where to begin. At the same time, there remains a vast void in the marketplace for a puppy-dog-eyed male solo artist. But I've listened to Jeff Buckley, I sat in the same room as Jeff Buckley, and, Jamie Walters, you are no Jeff Buckley.

Believed

-'Believed' that's the name of the album and that's exactly what he did. Jamie Walters believed he could put out a record of his own power pop / rock songs without the push of a major TV show, major producers or a major record label, just on the strength of the songs and the fact that he, well, believed.

After a #1 song in the U.S. ('How Do You Talk To An Angel' 1992), two successful platinum and gold albums worldwide on Atlantic Records ('Jamie Walters' 1994 and 'Ride' 1997), a two year stint as "Ray Pruit" on Beverly Hills 90210, several sold out International tours, Jamie came to a stop. When he finally set foot back in his Los Angeles home after the whirlwind of promotion, touring, recording, filming and touring some more he was tired. Physically and creatively tired. Touring around the world, in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans singing older songs had left him drained.

When Jamie left Beverly Hills 90210 to focus all of his time on his own music, he found he was a square peg being forced into the round hole of a TV pop star. He recall's a funny story from one of his live shows where a teenage girl was holding up a sign that read "Leave Donna Alone" (a reference to the nasty turn his character took on 90210 when he threw his girlfriend Donna (Tori Spelling) down a flight of stairs). At that point his record label didn't know what to do with him or his newly written songs and they decided to part company.

But Jamie believed. In the last few years he had performed, written and recorded with many of the top musicians and producers in Los Angeles. But he believed that if he could finish his own record (Jamie wrote all the music on this new album and produced 10 out of 11 tracks) his fans and the world would get to judge him on his own songs, not what pop hit he would be singing on 90210 that week. That's why you are checking out his new Cd "Believed." 11 songs crafted out of the love, hardship, drive and pain of being in the spotlight and wishing someone would shut it off for awhile....just long enough to finish a song. Enjoy!
