 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.

I just received the most recent release, Volume Three , from The Bluesmasters and its got a lot of cool. Opening with Loving Man , an easy flowing blues track featuring Hazel Miller on lead vocal. Miller has a powerful voice and is constant edged by stinging guitar riffs by guitarist Tim Tucker. Can't Let You Go , also featuring Miller on lead vocal, is firmly paced by Larry Thompson on drums and Kassidy Tucker on bass. Tim Tucker lays down some really hot riffs on this track with Mitch Towne on keys providing strong support on the bottom. Little Walter's Up The Line is done as a R&B style blues track featuring Mickey Thomas on vocal and Doug Lynn on harp. This track is made to get you on your feet and should easily do that. The Colorado Boogie is a cool instrumental track with nice harp lead by Lynn. Easily my favorite track on the release. Miller is back on lead vocal on Suspicious, a soul style blues track with long claws. Miller really does a nice job on this trac...
