 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.

The sounds of a vintage fat body guitar, a killer rhythm section and top-notch vocals and harp will bring you some low down blues, some happy blues , wild Memphis style boogie woogie, full-throated juke joint stomp and you can save your soul with some sinners gospel. In 2012 Steven Troch has won the “King of swing” harmonica contest at Mark Hummels harmonica blow out in in the USA. In march 2012 Fried Bourbon releases a new album for "Naked Productions" entitle...
