Mary Jane the debut album from Dead White and Blue has in many ways been twelve years in the making though that is not quite the true story.
The band/album is the invention of Arizona vocalist/guitarist Russell Workman, a musician who had previously played in various bands around Phoenix, artists who had supported the likes of Iron Maiden, Dio, and Korn. Laying down his self-penned tracks for the album at the Tim Rastas Studio in Tempe in 2001 everything was going to plan until Workman was arrested and sentenced to 6 years in prison for a minor drug charge. The experience brought his thoughts and determination into keen focus. In 2012, after trawling through vaults and closets for the raw master tapes of his unreleased album, Workman was ready to bring it fully to life, setting to work overdubbing and updating certain sections of songs, re-mixing and finally mastering his long overdue release. Bringing in long term friends bassist Mykel Sane (John Waite, Saigon Saloon, Faster Pussycat), guitarist Harry McCaleb, and drummer Rich Contadino to make a full line-up, Dead White and Blue emerged hungry to ravage the senses and the world of dirty unbridled rock ‘n’ roll.
