 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 Flow , a groovin' funky slap bass track with Coleman laying it down and Michael Bolivar hitting the sax with sweet soul. Michael Norfleet and Hiroshi Upshuron on keys, James Gadson on drums, Tommy Organ on guitar and Dionyza Sutton, Brenda Sutton - Turner, Rodnie Sutton and Wendy Young on vocals gives this track a nice feel. Overload , again a strongly bass infused track has Clinton like vocal chanting and features Sal Avila on melodic sax over Hollywood Dawkins on keys and Kayta Matsuno on guitar. Cool! Deron Johnson takes a Ramsey Lewis like approach on piano to this cool jazz track with Dawkins providing the ambiance and Coleman providing the groove. Faster R&B style track, Just One More Hit features the warmth of Avila and Tim Anderson on lead sax with Sean Fabian steeping up with a blazing guitar solo and Coleman pounding out a great groove and nice key wor...
