This Week's Reader Favorite Post
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!

NEW VIDEO FROM DAMON FOWLER - "OLD FOOLS, BAR
STOOLS, AND ME"
Blind Pig Records
has just released a video of the Damon Fowler Band performing a live version of
“Old Fools, Bar Stools, and Me,” a track from their highly-acclaimed new
release, Sounds of Home.
Typical is this
quote from Blues Music Magazine, "Fowler simply has never played
better, showing off a notable control while continually stirring in new elements
of Americana, R&B, and grease-popping soul."
And here
are some quotes about the song:
“Fueled by a
reverberating, quaking dirge, ‘Old Fools, Bar Stools, And Me’ tells of a
liquored-up loser aware of consequences and regret but unable to avoid either.
This is a common blues theme struck in an uncommon, chilling way.” -
Hittin’ the Note
“This one is a
slower song with some shimmering guitar but it is the combination of Damon’s
wistful vocal and the title chorus that gives it that country feel.” -
Blues Blast
“Leans on a
decidedly Merle Haggard-inspired lyrical imagery while chasing a Doyle
Bramhall-style confidence.” - Living
Blues
