 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.

Opening with A Place In Time , Dave Alley on lead vocal and Mark Focarile on keys set the intro for Best Is Yet To Come with it's spirited, guitar and drum driven attack. With Dave on lead vocal and guitars, Doug Alley on drums, Focarile on keys, Jaco Lindito on bass and John Tuohy on guitars and backing vocals this gets ramped up. Title track, Coming of Age has a solid, memorable melody, strong vocals, a very nice Spanish flavored guitar solo and a tight drum rhythm by Doug making this a likely radio track. My favorite track on the release is heavy handed, Heavy Days with excellent guitar work by Dave and smashing drum work by Doug. Wrapping the release is End Of August with an acoustic guitar rhythm leading to Dave leading the way over a bed of subtle piano and percussion. The melody develops nicely with solid phrasing by...
