Lead guitar great Mark Karan who has played as Jerry Garcia's replacement as the Grateful Dead continue to tour, with Little Feat, and other notable bands is an oral cancer survivor. During his chemo sessions, he wrote a song called "Walk Through Fire (http://www.walkthroughthefire.com/blog/)" about his experience. As Mark says, ”I’ve spent my life playing with great musicians and helping many artists realize their musical visions. Post cancer I felt it was time to make my own statement and make good on my promise to finish my record. I’m thrilled to say that, with a lot of love, hard work and the help of some amazing friends, that’s finally happened. Thank you for listening…”

Walk Through the Fire will be released June 30th on Quacktone Records and Dig Music and will be available at stores, ITunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon and so forth, and at Jemimah Puddleduck and RatDog shows.

The album features an outstanding cast of musicians, including Delaney Bramlett (in his first posthumous release), The Persuasions, Bill Payne (Little Feat), The Rowan Brothers, Mike Finnigan (CSN, Hendrix), Hutch Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt), Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship, Rod Stewart), Wally Ingram (Sheryl Crow, David Lindley), Jimmy Sanchez (Roy Rogers), and more. It also introduces “Jemimah Puddleduck” (JP), Mark’s collaboration over the last decade with John Molo (Phil Lesh & Friends) on drums, JT Thomas (Bruce Hornsby) on keys, and Bob Gross (Albert King, Delaney Bramlett) on bass.
