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

Image
 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...

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!

Andre DeSousa and the Mojo Band

"André de Sousa & Mojo Band é, finalmente, o trabalho solo do guitarrista piauiense André de Sousa. Compositor, arrajandor e professor de música, André se dedica profissionalmente a seu belo ofício desde 1996. Atuou como sideman de incontáveis artistas e bandas, subiu no palco ao lado de músicos do mundo inteiro nas mais diversas ocasiões, em shows e festivais, sobretudo no nordeste brasileiro. O popular Andrezinho é artista plural, virtuose, sensível e extremamente produtivo, e por causa desta vasta produção é que se torna difícil citar seu currículo neste CD promocional. No mundo pop, fundou, tocou e gravou com a Banda Brigitte Bardot, que praticamente foi o start profissional do cenário de rock no Piauí. Girando o leme pra outro rumo, foi músico de confiança do grande pianista brasileiro Luizão Paiva, que o fez engolir em seco o jazz e a música brasileira garganta abaixo, e lhe deu a chance de se apresentar ao lado de craques como Pascoal Meireles, Ney Conceição e Nélio Costa. Só que o blues sempre foi o grande pride and joy do nosso herói. E então André entrou de cabeça na banda Caro Watson, o que o levou a tocar com grandes músicos de blues nacional e internacional, como Kenny Brown (EUA), Jefferson Gonçalves, Fernando Noronha, Andreas Kisser, Vasco Fae, Donny Nichilo (EUA), Celso Blues Boy, André Matos, Greg Wilson (Blues Etílicos), Danny Vincent, só pra citar alguns, principalmente dentro do projeto Oi Blues By Night. André de Sousa & Mojo Band é, enfim, a chegada da hora de André ir pro centro do palco, e sua Mojo Band desde o primeiro show já chegou com trabalho próprio, mas também com a diversão pura que é tocar de Muddy Waters a Eric Clapton, de Albert Collins a Steve Ray Vaughan, de Nuno Mindelis a Blues Etílicos, de Elmore James a ... Luiz Gonzaga !!! E a Mojo Band somos nós: Flávio Nogueira (guitarra), Luciano Reis (baixo), Vinícius Bean (teclado) e Vinny Carvalho (bateria) e eventualmente vestimos traje de gala, com os metais de Enaldo Jr. (sax tenor e barítono) e Joylmo Gomes (trompete).
