Overton Music artist: Russ Green - Stone Cold - New Release Review

 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. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

Dag Nab Music artist: Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch - Champagne Velvet - New Release Review

I just received the newest release, Champagne Velvet , from Jason Elmore & Voodoo Witch and it's outstanding! Opening with fast paced, House Rockin' Boogie #7 and it's a rip snorting rocker featuring Jason Elmore leading the way on guitar and vocal. Joined by Mike Talbot on drums and Brandon Katona on bass this track is smoking! Cool shuffle track, Double My Money , is up next and it's got a great feel. Elmore slings out nicely on guitar with tasty Texas style guitar riffs. Very nice. R&B style Midnight In Memphis has a Rolling Stones (Beast of Burden) feel and should do nicely on radio. Slashing back to the front is Maybe , with it's heavy bottom and scorching guitar riffs. This guy really has a nose for hot riffs and knows how to push it. Excellent! Shine Your Light has an easy sway and a country rock feel. Nice and easy, another track that could easily become a top track. Another jump track, Cross-eyed Woman , has a great bass line by Katona. With n...

Underwater Records artist: Jason Elmore and the Hoodoo Witch - Tell You What - New Release Review

I just received the latest release, Tell You What , from Jason Elmore and Hoodoo Witch and it's a really cool blues rocker with some unexpected twists. Opening with Sharecropper Shuffle , Elmore does his own take on a Hideaway (Freddie King) style track. Elmore has his own riffs to play and his own blues to strut and the track even has a taste of metal riffs making for a very interesting shuffle. Next up is Southbound, with a distinctive rocker with contemporary rock influenced guitar riffs. Cold Lonely Dawn is a sweet R&B style track and Elmore shows not only great guitar chops but also his capabilities of carrying a soulful vocal track on a strong voice. This is a strongly composed track really showcasing Elmore's strengths. When The Sun Goes Down has a bit of a radio play format with a catchy melody and understated instrumentation. Bottom Feeder comes busting through the doors with a heavy grunge style riff but not losing that Texas feel. Bassist Chris Waw and Drumme...

Jason Elmore is a Dallas, TX-based guitarist/singer/songwriter who has taken the music scene by storm in just a short period of time. Whether fronting his trio, Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch, or performing as a solo acoustic act, Elmore is able to bring together elements of popular blues/rock/Americana in his performances that seem to bridge the gap between blues, rock, country, surf, and jazz. He is remarkable in his ability to appeal to fans of all genres of music with his devastating guitar licks, soulful old-school vocals, keen sense of humor and imagainative-yet-familiar songwriting. All one needs to do is watch him play live one time in order to have a good understanding of how all these different genres of music have a common thread when it comes to eliciting an emotional response from the listener and taking them to that special place where only the music exists. Since 2008, he has fronted the trio "Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch", a high-energy melting pot of m...
