Taste of Country Premieres Jamie O’Neal’s New Recording of “There Is No Arizona”
(Nashville, Tennessee…) – September 11, 2025 – Massive lifestyle and music outlet Taste of Country today premiered Jamie O’Neal’s updated version of her debut single “There Is No Arizona.” Celebrating 25 years since its original release and subsequent peak at #1, the new recording was produced by Ben Isaacs and features The Isaacs playing upright bass, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and providing beautiful background vocals. The song will be available on streaming services tomorrow, September 12, 2025 on JOG Records. Check out the Taste of Country premiere and interview HERE.
Jamie wrote “There Is No Arizona” with Lisa Drew and Shaye Smith. The original version was the lead single from her debut Mercury Nashville album Shiver, which also yielded the number one single “When I Think About Angels.” The success earned her numerous accolades including an ACM Award, Billboard Award, CMA and Grammy nominations and landed her on “The Tonight Show,” “David Letterman,” “Craig Kilborn,” ET and more.

Jamie recalls the single taking seven agonizingly long months to make it to number one, but she confesses that time in her life was eye opening. “I learned so much going to radio stations and feeling embraced by everyone, recognizing that THAT song, THAT sound, THAT scatting, and the loop…those things weren’t on country radio at the time. I loved that we created something unique and different. I never get tired of singing it and having fans singing it back to me. Here’s to 25 more years of Arizonaaaaa!”
Regarding The Isaacs, Jamie relates, “I sang on Sonya’s solo album years ago and have loved her voice for so long. Fast forward to the Country Music Cruise with the Issacs this past January, and it just solidified my love of the family harmonies. I asked them if they would collab with me on the new 25th anniversary edition of ‘Arizona,’ and they said yes! It was so much fun in the studio creating with them and hearing Ben Isaacs’s amazing ideas, plus you add in Jenee Fleenor on fiddle and it’s Chef’s Kiss!”
Jamie is currently readying a new album – her first since 2020 – to be released in January.
