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!

Mr. Jimmy Nick - IBC Bound
"Laying down
the blues for all generations"
Not since Chuck Berry entertained millions with his
famous duck walk across the stage and Elvis Presley
thrilled millions with his shaky legs has anyone
demonstrated such flair. Enter Young Jimmy Nick - the man is
killing them in Chicago with a combination of live
blues and theatrics. No one gave the memo
to this cat that when you play the blues you are supposed to
just stand there. Whether he unexpectedly jumps on the bar to get
closer to the crowd or does the splits on stage or pulls some other
expressive theatrical move out of his bag of showmanship this rising
star is entertaining audiences, they love the sound and the
show. Already the bluesman has three CDs out and his
last single alone sold right at 1,500 copies. The blues
ain't dead folks it's just been waiting for Jimmy Nick. Whether he
plays Buddy Guy's Legends or Kingston Mines or B.L.U.E.S. in Chicago
or The Raue Center in Crystal Lake basically anywhere in
the northern part of the midwest this riveting show
entertains.
