 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.

I just received the newest release, Lonesome Ghosts , from Blue Moon Marquee , and it has a certain sense of honesty and sincerity. Opening with What I Wouldn't Do , a simple rag style tune featuring A.W. Cardinal on vocal and guitar, Mal Temple on drums and featuring Jasmine Colette on bass and Simon Kendall on piano.

Bishop Street, possibly my favorite track on the release has a real simple ballad style and nice vocal duet between Cardinal and Co...
