 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Stone Cold , from Russ Green , and it's a driving blues rocker. Opening with Lint Redux , you are immediately in the middle of a swampy blues with modern effects. With a firm foot stomp by Felix Pollard on drums and Vic Jackson on bass Russ Green on harmonica and vocals really has the earthy feel. Giles Corey on slide gives the track great grease and Green's harp work is strong. Excellent opener. 12 Feet of Water opens with a terrific harmonica aria before grinding into a super drum driven romp. With the feel that I can only describe as Hill Country , Green delivers such soulful vocals, comforted by Joe Monroe on keys, this track just grabs you. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent!

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Stony Plain Records artist: Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne - New Release Review

-

I just received a copy of the new release by Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne, "An Old Rock On A Roll". This is a really cool recording. This recording is made up of a fusion of a lot of sounds that a session piano player may be exposed to over a period of years but all with a familiar thread, blues music. I hear boogie woogie, funk, jazz and rock all blended in there and it's a nice feel good recording. With a lineup of musicians like Duke Robillard, Brad Halle, Mark Teixeira, Doug James, Sax Gordon, Doug Woolverton and Carl Querfurth backing the "Blues Boss" it's hard not to like. I particularly liked boogie track "Searching for My Baby", "Bring Back the Love", "Don't Pretend" and "Rockin' Boogie Party". No Duke doesn't steal the show, but he does lay down some nice riffs to compliment this very professional recording!
