 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!

Queen Delphine & the Crown Jewels - Come And Get It - New Release Review

-
I just received the newest release, Come and Get It, by Queen Delphine & The Crown Jewels and it's got style. Opening with My Cat Got Nine Lives, a cool shuffle track features Queen on lead vocal accompanied by Norman Hamilton on harp, Lester "Lammy" Johnson on bass, Steven Weakley on guitar and Keith Strong. With a polished strut, Queen lays down a good opener. On I'm A Woman, Lammy drives the track with a strong bass line and Delphine gives it a healthy vocal oomph backed by Ezra Bufford on keys. Very cool. What Would I Do has a light airy feel with Delphine's vocals floating on a bed of keys and light percussion. Strong radio style track. R&B track with pop styling and Gospel overtones, Kindness For Weakness, is springy and solid. Bufford adds a real nice key solo adding a cool edge. Wrapping the release is Lammy's Blues, an instrumental blues with a bit of funk. With a solid bass line from Lammy, Hamilton plays harp and lead guitar over a tight drum rhythm. Bufford is spot on with a solid key solo making this a super closer.
