Review by Lisa Thompson

Album Review: Prince Of Darkness Sweet Jane by Jamie Released in 1969 under Capitol Records, Jamie’s Prince Of Darkness Sweet Jane is one of those rare gems that straddles the line between Rock and Pop Rock with surprising ease. Backed by a solid team—producer Artie Kornfeld, alongside Jamie himself, and arranged by Wayne Kirby—the album delivers two tracks that feel like little time capsules from an era when music was shifting gears. Written entirely by Jamie Carr, these songs carry a rawness that still resonates today. Let’s dive into the tracks. First up, “Prince Of Darkness.” This song grabs your attention right away—not because it’s flashy but because it feels almost conversational, like Jamie is sitting across from you, spinning a tale. The melody has this understated urgency to it, blending moody guitar riffs with lyrics that hint at rebellion without being too in-your-face about it. You remember it because it doesn’t try too hard; it just exists. And sometimes, isn’t that what makes art stick? Then there’s “Sweet Jane,” which balances out the vibe of the first track. If “Prince Of Darkness” is brooding, then “Sweet Jane” is its sunnier counterpart. It’s got a catchy hook that sneaks up on you after just one listen, paired with a rhythm that feels perfect for driving down some open highway in the late '60s. Sure, it leans more pop than rock, but that’s part of its charm. It reminds you how simple yet effective songwriting can be when done well. What stands out most about this release is its authenticity. There’s no overproduction here, no attempt to mask imperfections. Instead, you get something real—a snapshot of Jamie’s vision during a transformative period in both US and Canadian music scenes. Listening to it now, decades later, feels like flipping through old photographs. Not everything is perfect, but that’s kinda the point. On reflection, Prince Of Darkness Sweet Jane might not have been a chart-topper back in the day, but it holds its own as a quiet rebel. In a world obsessed with big hits and larger-than-life personas, this album proves that even modest efforts can leave a lasting impression. Oddly enough, it makes me wonder if Jamie ever thought his work would still be talked about half a century later. Probably not—but hey, life’s funny that way.
