 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.

For many years the singer coming from the forest quarter and guitarist inspires his audience with wonderfully touching dialect songs and a strong slope to blues. His songs treat in frank and urgent kind of stories of the failure. Somewhere in the last corner of an alcohol-watered bar there originates a soundtrack wrapped in bluesige sounds of a life which knows how to touch the listeners by his thick atmosphere. Nevertheless, with all darkness the texts and the music are earthy, full lives and poetry. They come along with a winking and black humor. Musically Miksch is open after many sides what makes an unequivocal categorization heavy. The autodidact walks on his quite own way.
