Not even the chaos of 2021 could throw Blues For A Cure off track and we are incredibly proud to present the thirteenth volume of our Studio Jam Series, bringing never before heard combinations of world-class musicians jamming together for the very special purpose of battling cancer.

Some exciting connections have occurred at and through Blues For A Cure. One of those magical encounters happened when Mark Puskarich introduced Scotty Bratcher to Bart Walker, ensuing a red hot jam that led to the formation of The Desert City Ramblers, and I’m pleased to report, this very recording! I’m happy that we were finally able to get Scotty Bratcher onto one of these sessions, especially considering the fact that he appeared at our second ever event back in 2009, alongside the immortal Hubert Sumlin.

Matt O’Ree and his band have also been around BFAC since our second ever recording session and it’s been a pleasure to hear their sound evolve over the decade we’ve been working together. The addition of stellar vocalist Eryn O’Ree continues to pay incredible dividends as she brings new life to the favorite “Leave Your Hat On," and she’ll certainly have plenty of imaginations working over time with this sultry reading. Matt’s amazing, unique and ultra soulful guitar work has caught the attention of people like Jon Bon Jovi as he continues to travel the country increasing his audience.

Ohio born and bred Noah Wotherspoon has been a brother in BFAC for nearly a decade as well and his IBC credentials placed him in a well deserved international spotlight that has continued to bring his sound to prestigious venues in Europe and the USA. A guitarist’s guitarist, Noah is a sensitive artist who always explores the less traveled routes to the heart and soul, and he takes the low and dirty road down south on “Going to Mississippi” and ultimately delivers us to the promised land!

I was so excited to be present at The Orpheum Theater in Memphis when Bart Walker and his band won The International Blues Challenge in 2012, and it was even more of a thrill for me to watch my friend on his regular gig, several years later, as guitarist for Hank Williams, Jr. in front of 10,000 people. Bart has used his new connections to secure signed instruments for BFAC from people like ‘Keb ‘Mo and Dolly Parton - Bart’s generosity is as immense as his stunning musical talent.

The pairing of Bart Walker and Scotty Bratcher is a blues rock one-two-punch full of electricity, dynamics, tension and release, and overall guitar artistry and their camaraderie inspires everyone on this session to not only play their very best, but to maybe even take some wild chances.

It was a long time coming and after several attempts, we were finally able to bring Nick Schnebelen back to Blues For A Cure. Trampled Under Foot swept the 2008 IBC and they were the core of the band on our first three volumes of this series, and eight years later Nick brings his super fine band, Adam Hag­erman on drums and Cliff Moore on bass.

Lenny Paul returns with rock solid bass work that we’ve come to love and rely on, as well as a memorable original tune with an inspired vocal.

Tony’s Treasures, with producer Mark Puskarich and engineer Cody Romshak at the helm, has hosted this series for a decade now (with the first three volumes recorded at Central City in Columbus). The studio is a comfortable home away from home for all of us musicians who we’ve come to appreciate as a sort of “fantasy camp” where we can truly disconnect with the distractions of city life to immerse ourselves in the music in a first class recording studio with all of the modern comforts and the latest recording technology.

Listening to Mark Puskarich’s final mixes of Blues Cures Volume Eleven, I’m struck by how these live-in-studio jams have evolved into something much more than just a “jam" over the last decade, it’s a showcase of world class Blues talent assembled to raise money to fight cancer with heartfelt performances of the highest caliber. Jimmy Thackery, who returns for this volume, once described our concept as; “They lock us into the studio until we finish an album,” and in a way of speaking, he’s right, although he’d be the first to admit that folks are free to go when they please and he might even tell you that performers always look forward to returning for the next recording session.

Many of the performers on this volume have appeared on previous Blues Cures recordings beginning with two outstanding bandleaders and their bands who were both present on our second volume, J.P. Soars & The Red Hots and the aforementioned Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers. On the topic of blues guitarists, you won’t find more seasoned pros than Thackery and Soars, but young Italian guitarist and BFAC regular Dany Franchi contributes his considerable talents to the mix here and aptly demonstrates why he’s one of the most exciting new names on the international blues scene and he’s caught the notice of heavyweights like Joe Bonamassa, Jimmie Vaughan and Derek Trucks. A particular highlight for me is the red hot pairing of Dany with Thackery on Franchi’s own, “Don’t Steal My Time” - I think it was a highlight for Jimmy as well!

Another returning favorite is Miss Freddye Stover and this time she brought her fabulous band from Pittsburgh and they’re in tremendous form on the New Orleans gem “Hitting On Nothing” as well as the Mike Sweeney penned “Same Ol’ Lies.” Miss Freddye is as warm off stage as she is on stage and she’s become a Blues For A Cure favorite who truly connects with all ages and backgrounds and she takes the time to be personally exuberant with each and every fan. One of the things I’ve always loved about the blues is the accessibility fans have to performers and Miss Freddye personifies that in a very special and unique way with gospel roots that truly pour God’s love into the music and into the hearts of the audience.

The Hoard and Jones Band is new to Blues Cures recordings but guitarist Roger Hoard is a time-tested professional guitarist having been house guitarist at Jamboree USA with the 11/70 Band, the largest Saturday night country music live broadcast in the world, based out of Wheeling, WV and second only to The Grand Ole Opry. Roger’s guitar work has been praised by masters like Chet Atkins and Little Charlie Baty and he shows his bluesy side, joined by Dany Franchi, on the classic, “Route 66,” and the introspective, “Time For Me,” featuring Hoard on slide guitar and banjo.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to front a tune with Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers once again and we agreed that Ike Turner’s gem, “Much Later,” was a peppy number to record. I was also excited to collaborate with J.P. Soars, Chris Peet and up and coming drummer Brandon Pettiford on Shuggie Otis’, “Me And My Woman,” a funky workout where Soars really shines with his unmistakable guitar work. Both Soars and Thackery contribute outstanding instrumentals allowing them to really step out and incorporate elements of surf, rock and jazz. Perhaps the late Dick Dale was on J.P.’s mind as he rips into some stellar tremolo picking on, "Caravan”?

I’d like to acknowledge two friends, Natalie Walston Abbott and Austin Johnson, who were both real life heroes to loved ones recently lost to cancer. We make this music for you. Huge thanks also to Mark Puskarich, Cody Romshak and Lois Puskarich who provide the most incredible recording studio experience I’ve found! Thanks to you for listening and supporting our efforts! ~Sean Carney

Thanks to BluzBug.

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. Thank YOU for listening! ~Sean Carney

2010 marked year four of Blues For A Cure and our first event at the historic Lincoln Theatre in downtown Columbus. To celebrate that distinction, we welcomed Blues Music Award winner Duke Robillard and his wonderful band from Rhode Island as our headliners. I first saw Duke perform in Columbus in the early '90s at The Big Bear Rhythm & Food Festival, and he quickly became one of my very favorite guitarists – I’m not the only one.
We kept our International Blues Challenge tradition going by welcoming 2005 IBC/Albert King Award winner Jonn Richardson back from Houston, Texas (Jonn’s third year of BFAC!) and expanded upon the “international” theme with a very special appearance from Italian guitarist Enrico Crivellaro. We also decided to include Central Ohio blues legend guitarist/singer Ray Fuller who has been playing the blues in Columbus for well over 30 years. Duke Robillard was incredibly gracious and generous with his time, agreeing not only to hang out all weekend and join us in this recording session, but also to host a Blues Guitar Master Class at The Jazz Academy the next night.
Of course, Blues For A Cure isn’t all about the guitar, and this year we invited two outstanding harmonica players to participate. Young Chicago bluesman Omar Coleman (thanks to Honey Bee Records) has been a part of BFAC since the very beginning, and he’s not missed one yet. Although, this is the first time his schedule has permitted him to record with us. San Francisco based Phil Berkowitz also joined us with his swinging brand of harp work. Hammond B-3 organ boss Jon Eshelman performed with us for the first time, along with veteran drummers Louis Tsamous and Jan Roll. The bassists on this recording are The Sean Carney Band’s Steve Perakis and my dad, Larry Carney.
Our first two Blues Cures recording sessions took place at Central City Recording Studio in Columbus, but due to relocating the studio, we opted for Tony’s Treasures Recording Studio in Cadiz, Ohio. Mark and Cody have done an incredible job with Tony’s Treasures. The studio proved a relaxed and warm atmosphere, following the snowy drive from Columbus that nearly had us pulling the plug!
We went with a guitar “tag team” approach on most of the tunes, pairing guitarists in some masterful combinations on an incredibly varied set of material that ranges from lowdown to uptown and touches all of the bases between. With an abundance of vocalists on hand, this recording offers even more variation, allowing every one of our singers to take the microphone for at least one song, at times taking on a Johnny Otis style revue feeling that truly offers something for everyone.
I started writing these notes with the intention of highlighting a few inspirational moments, but was left with the conclusion that each and every track is magical in its own way. There were just too many moments to recall. I will, however, say that it was a true bucket list item for me to record with Duke Robillard! We selected an old Big Joe Turner classic, “Cherry Red,” as a tribute to our late, mutual friend Jimmy “T-99” Nelson. I also particularly enjoyed Ray Fuller and Omar Coleman going acoustic on Muddy’s “Whose Gonna Be Your Sweet Man When I’m Gone,” a one take thing of beauty that had all of the musicians in the studio on their feet! I’m sure you’ll have special moments of your own as you enjoy this recording. Make sure you search for us on YouTube and Facebook to find the videos of the recording session, so you can experience the songs as they were tracked.
Blues Cures Studio Jam Vol. 3 is an incredible addition to a recorded legacy that already includes such stalwarts as Jimmy Thackery, Henry Gray, Trampled Under Foot, J.P. Soars, “King Saxe” Gene Walker, Bill Stuve, Steve Gerard, Ricky Nye, Micah Kesselring, The Matt O’Ree Band and some of the players on this volume. The collective passion of these musicians, and all involved in this project to battle a dreaded disease, is what brought us together. That love is apparent in each and every one of these tracks. ~Sean Carney
