 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!

Tom Euler - Blues Got My Back - New Release Review

-
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Blues Got My Back, from Tom Euler and it's solid. Opening with title track, Blues Got My Back, Tom Euler gets the track hopping right away with this up tempo shuffle featuring Lucy Kilpatrick on keys, Michael Behlmar on drums, Von Jose Roberts on bass and leading the way on lead guitar and vocals. Super opener. On funky blues number, Bridge You Ain't Burnt, the band shifts gears with a tight bottom and Euler's strong vocals and powerful lead guitar. On ballad, Forgive Me, Euler steps the pace way back with a strong melody and pure radio track. His vocal, floating on Kilpatrick's keyboard work is soothing and mellow. Snapping back quickly on Tricky Business, Euler has the guitar up front and setting the pace. Trading lead with Kilpatrick this is a high power instrumental of the first degree. My favorite track on the release, Tough Guy, has a cool Texas style swagger, with powerful vocals, fluid guitar lead and warm keyboards over a solid bottom. Throwing open the doors and letting the blues out, this track is smoking. Wrapping the release is easy paced pop track, Thought of You with a smooth radio appeal. A nice melody, well controlled vocals, tidy drums and clean piano work closes the release. Nice job.
