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!

Quote From Glenn Smith on working with Clay
(28 years
promoting the #1 selling solo artist in history, Garth Brooks)
"I
have been booking and promoting talent for Headline Performers, and
Venues worldwide (see www.GlennSmithPresents.com)
for over 40 years, in basically all popular genres including Pop, Rock,
RnB, Country, Hip Hop, Blues, Latin, and CCM. Here in Texas, we have NO
shortage of incredibly talented artists, both “discovered, and
undiscovered”. Occasionally, someone comes along that really turns my
head, and a couple years ago, that person was Clay Melton. I was
and continue to be impressed with not only his Command of the guitar, and
vocals, but to deliver his presentation with a “believability” that’s
rare in someone of his young age. I simply urge everyone to keep an eye
(and ear) out for him. In my opinion, he’s got “something special”, and I
will continue to book and support him on his Journey!" - Glenn Smith,
President - Glenn Smith Presents Inc.
