 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. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

I just had the opportunity to review Watch Me , the most recent release from Nina Massara and it's strong. Opening with title track, Watch Me , you are instantly drawn in to a New Orleans bounce, compliments Colin Brooks, Jens Runge and Malsgaard on guitar, Chris Moresh on bass, John Chipman on drums, Hans Nybo on sax, Peter Marott on trumpet, Morton Wittrock on keys and the vocal work of Nina Massara, Colin Brooks and Jens Runge. Another solid entry, Big Easy , has a real nice groove and slick, fat slide adding that special spice. With relentless beat, Impossible To Resist , is a guitar tapestry with super groove and fat slide riffs. Massara's sound blends Jack Johnson with Macy Gray. Excellent track! Wrapping the release is the saucy, Full Grown Woman , with cool muted trumpet , snappy New Orleans style drums, focused vocals and clean piano riffs. This is a cool release with a pop edge. Very nice.   If you support live Blues acts, up and coming Blues talents an...

Danish/American Singer Nina Massara Clicks Her Heels, Winks And Says WATCH ME With Her US Debut Out On March 3 rd Nina Massara is putting everything she has into a sound she hopes will bring the music she loves to every generation, young and old. Nina has the looks of a retro black and white movie star with a sassy voice that will remind you of modern day belters like Rhiannon Giddens, Victoria Williams, and Valerie June. With a tinge of “I told you so” in her voice, Nina takes on critics and fans with her U.S. debut, Watch Me . This album is set to release on March 3, 2017, on CSP Records, an independent label out of Texas. Label President Jimmy Rogers, who has spearheaded many a blues artist over the past 40 years, was so knocked out by her that he signed her on the spot. “Look out world; Nina Massara is a fantastic new artist!” Jimmy Rogers, CSP Records. Recorded and produced by Morten Wittrock both in Denmark and at Austin’s famous 5th Street ...
