 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.

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!

T-Bone Shuffle - The Grey Goose Blues Band

-
The Grey Goose are new kids on the blues block. Formed in 2009 they are fresh and exciting. Having said that, the boys are all experienced blues men. The Geese have made an impact in their first 18 months playing numerous blues clubs and festivals and sharing stages with current blues blues royalty such as Texan, Buddy Whittington, Brit Guitar hero Matt Schofield, Snowy White's Blues project and recently Aynsley Lister. 'Best gigs this year' says Frankie 'were, Buddy Whittington at Robin 2 Bilston and the Upton On Severn Blues Festival'. That was 2010, 2011 has seen the Geese begin to take off. Playing blues festivals in England, Wales and Scotland and the release of their debut album. They also played a live session on BBC Radio WM in July and then followed up with two appearances at the Birmingham Blues festival. The Geese have developed their own style which sits somewhere between T Bone Walker and Little Walter and they are certainly beginning to turn heads with their energy and musicianship. Key to their growing reputation is the songwriting of Frankie Williams. Whilst the Geese are happy to play a selection of blues classics at their shows, their set contains numerous self penned blues songs which sit comfortably amongst the old masters. The Geese have released their debut album in 2011, 'Beat the Devil out of me'. Available on iTunes and CD Baby. Keep your eye on the Geese, they may land near you sometime soon.
