 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.

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, C.O.R.E. by Circuline and it's a complex progressive rock release. Opening with Tempus Horribilis , a well crafted prog rocker with an infectious rhythm courtesy Shelby Logan Warne on bass and Darrin Brannon on drums, this track uses the best of everything to make a dynamic opener. Dave Bainbridge on guitars plays searing lead, Andrew Colyer on keys adds depth and Natalie Brown on lead vocal with Colyer add terrific vocal lead and harmony. Excellent opener.  Say Their Name blends Brown's vocals with  clean guitar work by Bainbridge and minimal supplemental instrumentation by Warne, Brannon and Colyer. Warne really has some aggressive bass work on the track and Bainbridge and Brannon add substantial tension and depth. Very nice. You is another of my favorites on the release with an even blend of structured guitar/bass rhythm, heavy tom tom work by Brannon and balanced keys and vocals. Wrapping the release as...
