 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!

Grounded Soul Records artist: Greg Sover - His-Story - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, His-Story, from Greg Sover and it's a cool blues rocker. Opening with Dark House, Greg Sover on lead vocal, bass, harmonica and guitar is joined by Jim Salamone on drums and guitar, Kyle Perrelli and Brad Hinton on understated wailing lap steel guitar. Cool opener. Slow blues, Temptation, has a real nice feel with some of Sover's best vocals on the release. Backed up by David Uosikkinen on drums and Kenny Aaronson on bass this track sets a nice bluesy pace for the release. Jimi's Manic Depression retains it's original driving rock feel. Sover does a real nice job on lead guitar holding down Jimi's riffs with Billy Cox cooking the bass and Tom Walling pounding the drums. Strong. Song 28 has a clear root in Hendrix and it's overdriven rock feel. Sover's guitar riffs are screaming and Najashi Rasheed on on drums really tows the line backed by Aaronson on bass. Wrapping the release is Remember, a straight up rocker with a catchy melody. Sover on vocal and lead guitar working with Jake Booker on rhythm guitar, Cox on bass, Tom Walling on drums and Billy Cannon on congas keep it close to home for a solid closer.
