 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.

Opening with up tempo shuffle, Ain't No If About It , Jonathan Boogie Long on lead vocal and guitar really gets this track crankin'. With Eddie Bayers on drums, Nelson Blanchard on bass and guitar,  and Rex Pearce on guitar, this is a super opener. With a nice taste of R&B, Dangerous Curves has a great feel Bayers on drums, David Hyde on bass and Pearce on guitars, Blanchard on keys and Jason Parfait on horns join Long for a track which could really be a nice radio track. Wrapping the release is Eclipsed By Love with a conventional radio rock format. Long on lead vocal has the groove and knows what to do. Dale Murray joins on percussion, David Peters on drums, Leon Medica on bass and Tony Haselden on guitars round out the release. Solid closer.    If you support live Blues acts, up and coming B...
