With the myriad of issues troubling our world it can be a struggle for an artist to focus on just one of the many
subjects available to reflect upon. For her fifth album, singer/songwriter, blues activist and founder of the award-
winning Alabama Blues Project, Debbie Bond decided to tackle as many as she could. The ten original tracks on
Blues Without Borders take on a wide array of topics from social justice, environmentalism, and equality to all the
complications found inside that thing called love.
Along with her collaborator and husband, keyboardist and blues harp player “Radiator” Rick Asherson, Bond began the project in the spring of 2020, tracking with UK drummer Mickey Barker until the world was shut down by the pandemic. Through the miracle of modern technology Bond and company were able to continue recording
via the internet, utilizing five studios to record ten guest musicians in the US and UK. The international musical family includes award-winning vocalist Lea Gilmore, Jamaican saxman Ray Carless, a member of the Muscle Shoals Studios Horn section, Brad Guin, and percussionists Joelle Barker and Dave Crenshaw, along with background vocals from Meshon Omoregie, Gabrielle Semoine, and Carla Don and Rachel Edwards (Aka AfroUnicorn), who flew in their parts remotely. This product of connectivity gives greater meaning to the album title and further proves the only borders to creativity are those inside our hearts and minds.
