Scone Cash Players - Blast Furnace (2022)

The Hammond Organ is lead singer on this soulful and orchestral journey
about industrial decay and the death of the steel town. Deep from the
rusted steel mills of Youngstown Ohio, we bring you the melting debut of
the Scone Cash Players. It's the same organist that brought you the
screaming organ on all those Daptone favorites from The Sugarman Three.
Scone was behind that organ bench on the modern classics as follows.
"Sugar's Boogaloo", "Soul Donkey", "Pure Cane Sugar", and "What the World
Needs Now."

Adam Scone entered the studio on Dunham Street in Brooklyn. He was wearing
a blue Adidas jump suit. The studio had just opened. At the helm were his
old compadres from The Dap-Kings. Namely Thomas Brenneck, Eric Kalb, Homer
Steinweiss and lan Hendrickson-Smith. They make up the "Bliss Machine"
behind Scones's groove. It was a truly rare moment to catch these masters
of music and taste in between tours of Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley.

Tommy put the mics around. Scone powered up the organ. The analog tape
machine turned and turned until they couldn't turn any more. These songs
were recorded. We worked all day and all night. Tears were shed. Espresso
was made. There was beer on tap. 3 days of life were taken to make this
album. We will never get them back. They were distilled to 40 minutes of
pure emotion. It's a tale of woe. It's a tale of leaving art for
responsibility. It's a farewell to an era. It's a journey that the Hammond
B3 organ wasn't accustomed to. You can't compare this album to any other
organ record. Don't expect to hear what you want. Free your mind. Be open.
Your world is going to feel the heat of the BLAST FURNACE! It never quite
feels how you want it to. Don't get burned...
