Thank you for helping to keep Blues Music alive in Australia. Cheers to your success” - (Natasha Jayme Hanjin / Heritage FM Radio, Australia) ...

“Singer/songwriter Albert Carey is based in Millbrook, New York. Carey is accompanied by some great musicians in John O'Reilly (drums), Danny Miranda (bass), Tony Perrino (organ) and hot shot guitarists: Johnny Gale, Tommy Burns, Frank Carillo and Al Pitrelli. The Albert Carey Project delivers white-hot blistering blues-rock…well worth checking out” - (John Bates / The Groove, Australia) ...
“Albert plays what could be defined as solid rock blues based on the sounds and roots of the seventies. But his music is not always hard, he also knows how to play heavy ballads. Personally, he reminds me of some bands that no longer exist, such as Wishbone Ash. Carey shows power, good manners, elegance, taste, good style and communication and many other qualities that you will discover along the music on this CD” - (Vicente P. Zumel / La Hora del Blues Barcelona, Spain) ...

Bert Carey is a veteran performer and former member of the late/legendary Mick Ronson Band. Mick Ronson was one of the best guitar players of his time. He was the guitarist for David Bowie in the classic Spiders From Mars days and played on many hits and tours with Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter, Bob Dylan and other legendary acts. Albert played bass with 'The Mick Ronson Band' during the '70s and appears a new compilation disc on this disc of "found" recordings called 'Mick Ronson - Just Like This'.
This album was recorded in November and December of 1976 at Bearsville Sound Studio and The Barn, Woodstock, NY. This collection contains a bonus CD in a nice package with a booklet full of pictures and alot of liner notes and dedications to Mick, who passed away in 1993, shortly after playing at the concert tribute to the late Freddie Mercury.
Bert is also a founding member of Blue Manchu, an exciting project that has Carey joining forces some of the music industry's heaviest hitters who have recorded and toured with many name artists, including Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown.
Also featured in Blue Manchu is guitarist David Malachowski (well known for his tenure as lead guitarist and bandleader for Shania Twain and her husband/producer Mutt Lange), bassist Gerry Sorrentino, (whose credits include many influential artists such as "Bluzman" Sam Taylor, Jimmy Vivino, Lou Marini, Rod Price, Jim McCarty, Bugs Henderson, and Hubert Sumlin just to name a few), and drummer Dennis Cotton (who has toured extensively with venerable guitarist Duke Robillard, crooner Robert Charels and others).
In 2001, Carey’s released his first solo effort which was a well crafted album of killer classic rock and blues with a generous supply of stirring ballads. Produced by 'The Slimmer Twins' production team of Jody Gray and Paul Orofino, the CD entitled 'Ten Cents Short Of A Dime' is the distilled spirit of the 70's roaring past the millennium.
Carey has waited six years to complete his newest CD, his first for Poptown Records, which offers up more great songs and the smokey flavor of searing, down-home playing with Carey's pipes in fine form. No posin', No apologies. Nothing artificial: no synthesizers allowed!
