 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 received the newest release, Down In The Dirt , from Amanda Fish and it covers a lot of bases. Sister to Samantha Fish, Amanda has joined up with Stone Cutters Union front man Sean McDonnell on slide. Opening the release is I 'mma Make You Love Me, a funky R&B kind of track showing just what Fish has to offer vocally and featuring McDonnell on guitar, Cole Dilingham on guitar and bass and Kristopher Schnebelen on drums. Player Blues is a slinky blues number with cool understated and fat aggressive slide work by McDonnell. Wait has a cool blues rock rhythm accented by rhythmic strumming on guitar and rich, saturated guitar riffs. An hot guitar solo on this track gives it a leg up for radio play. With a pinch of country, Guess I'll Lay Down features McDonnell and Fish on lead vocals as well as Liam Goodrick on piano and Jacob Niser on fiddle. Latin jazz number Prisoner Of Your Touch , has a real smooth feel with Goodrick on piano and Matt Peters on guitar. Again...
