They say if you want to get good at something, really good, you got to commit at least 10,000 hours to it. Cameo Blues has down that and more over the years and it certainly seems to have paid off, especially with their new release "10,000 Hours". According to Wikipedia, "the Cameo Blues Band is a Toronto-based blues band, originally formed in 1978. It is particularly notable for its association with several of Canada's leading blues singers, including Richard "Hock" Walsh, Tony Flaim and Chuck Jackson, all of whom were also associated with the Downchild Blues Band." The band was named after the Cameo Lounge which was situated in Toronto's Hotel Isabella, and up till the mid 80's, they were the Lounge's House Band. Cameo Blues now consists of Ray Harrison (Piano), John Bride (Guitar), John Dickie (Vocals), Mike Sloski (Drums), and Tommy Griffiths (Bass). This core of members has been with the band since 2002, with Ray Harrison and John Bride being with the band not long after it formed in 1978. Ray Harrison, by the way, was a former Keyboard player for Crowbar. The Cameo Blues band, whom had gone their way on different projects, officially reunited in 2009, to celebrate their 30th Anniversary.
"10,000 Hours" marks only the 2nd release by Cameo Blues, the first being "All Work And No Play", released in 2002. "10,000 Hours" consists of 11 Tracks, of which the first 7 are Originals and the last 4 are a very interesting mix of Covers of music by Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Page/Plant, and Jimmy McGriff. John Dickie wrote 1 Track and co-wrote the other 6 Originals, with all the other band members getting in on co-writing 1 or more songs, with all of them co-writing Track 7, "Talk Radio". ~John Vermilyea
