Overton Music artist: Russ Green - Stone Cold - New Release Review

By Bman -

 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! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

Meet Me In The Bottom - ELECTRIC DUO

By Bman -


.On ne présente plus Jack Bon, leader du groupe Ganafoul, power trio qui entre dans la légende du rock français avec 6 Albums boogie-rock dans les années 80.
Il poursuit son aventure en solo, il est reconnu et apprécié pour ses concerts et ses enregistrements.
Il totalise 12 albums dont les derniers "Mixed Blues" et "Live and Acoustic".

Le voici en duo avec Eric Delbouys, batteur et percussionniste, compositeur et arrangeur. Ce fan de John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) développe sa personnalité musicale dans diverses expériences auprès d'artistes comme : Bernard Lubat, Bernardo Sandoval et plus rock comme Han Burs (The EX).
Son voyage initiatique dans les musiques du monde et son goût pour le mouvement électro le dirige vers de nouveaux mélanges entre acoustique et électronique.

Jack Bon et Eric Delbouys collaborent depuis plus de 10 ans à divers projets scéniques et discographiques. Le fruit de cette rencontre explose dans Electric Duo, leur expérience se vit au travers de ces nouvelles compositions originales.
La machine est en route... les mélanges explosent, le groove, l’énergie, la complicité sont là.

Electric duo nous délivre une puissance et une surprenante efficacité dans ce premier album. Les 13 titres à découvrir dans "Low class blues" sont puisés dans leur racines musicales et l'ouverture d’esprit sur les musiques actuelles.

On retrouve dans cet album les rythmes et riffs puissants du Blues / Rock et le punch de l'Electro

Who Was Charles LoBue

By Bman -

Charles LoBue was one of the fathers of the custom electric guitar business. Charles came to the industry after taking classes from Michael Gurian, first working in and around the guitar repair business in NYC in the mid 60's. Charles' interest in the business began by doing basic repairs on factory made guitars. These were primarily made by Gibson and Fender, the "Gold Standard" for electric guitars, as well as any guitar including acoustics which came through the door. As a professional player in the U.S. in the 60's, Gibson and Fender were the most likely choices if you wanted an electric guitar. It is well known that the Brits used European made guitars as well, primarily due to their accessibility. By the mid late 60's both companies had been sold to larger corporations which were not primarily in the guitar business. The basic perception even today is that the guitars made by these companies during this period were inferior in quality and also l...
