Description:

The basis for Dead, White and Blue's debut, Mary Jane, was laid back at the turn of the century when frontman Russell Workman was then playing in various bands around Phoenix, AZ's lucrative music scene - as well as taking support slots with Iron Maiden, Dio, and Korn amongst others. Building a reputation as a solid songwriter and an over the top live performer, Workman went into Tim Rastas Studio in Tempe and laid down tracks for an album that was all set, primed and ready to be released in 2001.

What do you do with an album that is twelve years old, never got released or even mastered but was a good decade before it?s time anyway? Well, in the case of one Russell Workman, you back up to the starting line and start all over again. The basis for Dead, White and Blue?s debut, Mary Jane, was laid back at the turn of the century when Workman was then playing in various bands around Phoenix, AZ?s lucrative music scene ? as well as support slots with Iron Maiden, Dio, and Korn amongst others. Building a reputation as a solid songwriter and an over the top live performer, he went into Tim Rastas Studio in Tempe and laid down tracks for and album that was all set, primed and ready to be released in 2001. And then it all came crashing down. Russell got busted by the Arizona state police and wound up doing 6 years in prison for a minor drug charge. ?Prison only made me focus on what I was going to do when I got out,? Workman reflects . A lot of it was obviously getting laid, and the most important thing was to get this album out. The only good thing about prison is the food!. Just kidding, But seriously, it really made me stronger and more focused than ever. And, I?m off dope now so that?s cool.? In 2012 Workman was free of his demons and anxious to work and play again. After several phone calls and digging through vaults and closets the raw master tapes for his unreleased album were located and he immediately set to work overdubbing and updating certain sections of songs, re-mixing and finally mastering his long overdue hard work. He reached out to longtime friends Mykel Sane, Harry McCaleb and Rich Contadino to complete the new lineup. .?I wanted the best I could find. Funny thing is, they found me!? Russell laughs. ?We?ve all been friends forever and you know, these guys should have all been rich and famous years ago.? The first person Workman tracked down was bass player Sane who had grown up playing music in the trenches of Hollywood and New York City, putting in time with former Babys frontman John
