 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.

The birthplace of Andrew Brown is unknown, but it believed that he was born in 1921. He adopted the stage and recording name of "Little Willie Brown". He made his debut recordings cutting four sides for the Suntan label in Houston in 1956. It's possible that he relocated to Nashville, TN. since that was where he made the rest of his recordings in his career. His first stop was in 1961 at the Do-Re-Me label owned by Murray Nash. (Nash produced his recordings and he also owned other labels that released recordings by blues, doo-wop, R&B, country, gospel and rockabilly artists). Brown later moved on to smaller Nashville labels recording 45's for Chart, Topic and Great between 1962 and 1968. He passed away in East St. Louis, IL. on December 2, 1981. This recording reaches a fine-line between blues & doo-wop.
