Dedicated to Bobby Jameson is the eleventh studio album by American recording artist Ariel Pink, released on September 15, 2017, through Mexican Summer. It is the follow-up to 2014's pom pom and features a narrative Pink described in a press release as "a battery of tests and milestones, the first of which sees him [the protagonist] reborn into life out of death."[3] It peaked at number 193 on the Billboard 200 and received generally positive reviews from music critics.
The album was named in honor of Bobby Jameson, a 1960s singer-songwriter who retreated from the music industry after a series of misfortunes. In 2007, Jameson resurfaced with an autobiographical blog that alleged wrongdoing on the part of various managers and record company agents, which he maintained until his death in 2015. Pink said that Jameson's "life resonated with me to such a degree that I felt a need to dedicate my latest record to him." Three singles were issued in advance of the album's release: "Another Weekend", "Time to Live", and "Feels Like Heaven".
