简介

Blues Cures Studio Jam Vol. 4 continues the tradition of bringing International Blues Challenge winners and competitors together to give the world a taste of the incredible talent that comes together every year in Memphis. This year’s lineup includes three IBC Champions, Joey Gilmore, Jonn Richardson and Sean Carney. Rounding out the lineup of great Blues artists are Dave Workman, Omar Coleman, Ray Fuller, Long Tall Deb, Franc Robert, Hunter Wolfe, ARE, John Popovich, Marty Romie, Abdell B Bop, Manny Manuel, Trent Sholl and Jan Roll. Welcome to Blues Cures Studio Jam Volume 4, continuing a legacy of live in the studio Blues and passionate support of incredible, life saving programs such as The Stefanie Spielman Fund For Breast Cancer Research. We also support The Blues Foundation, which not only is responsible for The International Blues Challenge and The Blues Music Awards, but also programs like The HART Fund, created to assist musicians in need of medical care. There are several exciting “firsts” on this recording, most notably a rare studio appearance from Dave Workman, who has become a BFAC favorite since bringing the house down at our “Columbus Blues” Showcase at Woodland’s Tavern in April, 2011. Dave set the bar for generations of Central Ohio and now San Francisco guitarists, myself included, and we were all truly honored he agreed to participate in this session. Although I’ve seen Dave jam with Ray Fuller on a number of occasions, I know they’ve never recorded together. It was exciting to make that happen here on a smoldering version of Otis Rush’ Chess Records gem, “So Many Roads,” with Workman playing particularly inspired solos. I wanted to pair Dave with 2006 IBC winner Joey Gilmore, whose appearance marks another “first” this year. I think that combo works particularly well with John Popovich on keys, Manny Manuel on bass and Jan Roll on drums on Little Milton’s groover, “That’s What Love Will Make You Do,” and Z.Z. Hill’s, “Bluesman.” A combination I hope we’ll hear more from in the future. Jonn Richardson ties together the IBC theme here with Gilmore and me spanning consecutive wins from 2005 to 2007. We chose Big Joe Turner’s proto-rock & roll anthem, “Shake, Rattle & Roll,” where we each take a stab at singing verses and trading guitar solos. Richardson also sounds fabulous paired with Workman for the soulful, “You’re Gonna Make Me Cry.” As always, Jonn proves to be a musician’s musician, and that’s why he’s been featured on all four of our sessions. Another “first” here are exciting newcomers to the Blues, Hunter Wolfe & ARE. I first heard them on Beale Street at The IBC play their blues with a punk rock edge and I’m convinced they’re going to do big things. Hunter & ARE had a blast playing their own, “Your Death is Killin’ Me,” with guests Joey Gilmore and Omar Coleman lending their talents. This is Omar Coleman’s second Blues Cures session. He and bassist Abdell Bouyousfi thought it would be fun to pay tribute to the Chess sound, once again, with Little Walter’s, “Too Late.” Jonn and I had a blast with Lockwood/Tucker/Aces interplay. Jonn, Omar and I, along with Marty Romie, also recorded an amazing version of Jimmie Vaughn’s “Love The World.” “Long Tall Deb” Landolt is another first on this session and she brought a pair of tunes to the table: the classic, “Everyday I Have The Blues,” and her own hot original, “Blues Don’t Care.” I want to thank Mark Puskarich and Cody Romshak for providing an amazing atmosphere and state of the art studio in Tony’s Treasures to capture the recording here.

To my best friend who has been with me through good and bad, Marian the WonderDog, and Columbus, Ohio for always being there for me.” – Dave Workman "For all of my too many family members and dear friends whose lives have been taken. At this time my thoughts and memories are of my Aunt Ruby and the very first time I had ever heard the word cancer. She was only twenty-four." – Marty Romie “To Helen and Nina, the grandmothers I never got to meet.” – Deb Landolt “For my late stepfather, Howard Peltz, who taught me tolerance and an open mind, and to live life while you can. He passed in 1992 from colon cancer, and we as a family still miss him.” – Franc Robert “I would like to dedicate these performances to Angelo Merendino and his late wife Jennifer. Together, they fought a long battle with her breast cancer with grace rarely seen and raised awareness in the process.” – Jan Roll “I would like to dedicate these tracks to my mother Janice, who is a breast cancer survivor, my father-in-law Bob McAdoo, who suffered from colon cancer, and my wife Lori, who tirelessly works for the American Cancer Society.” – John Popovich “I wish to dedicate my performances to my late friend and keyboardist, Bob “Good Morning Bob” Abernathy.” – Joey Gilmore “I felt I should do Blues For A Cure to give back. After all, our family has had many deaths from cancer. This one’s for you Dad: ‘The Sky Is Crying’.” - Trent Sholl “We would like to dedicate our song ‘Your Death Is Killing Me’ to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. It is a pain unlike any other. This is why we play the blues. And to our dear friend Rhiannon. We love and miss you.” – Hunter Wolfe & ARE “I would like to dedicate my playing to my Family, Christelle & Mia, and to the memory of one my good friend Sean Costello.” - Abdell Bouyousfi 1.
