 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.

The release opens with Beaver Creek Mansion , a contemporary country rocker with fat slide work by Greg Martin with healthy rhythm guitar from Richard Young, bass by Doug Phelps and drums by Fred K. Young. Deep South Blues Again is a sweaty blues rocker with a driving bass line and great lead vocals. These guys know good guitar tone and use it to their advantage, getting their guitars singing like chainsaws. Very cool. I Am The Hunter has great swagger and sting with powerful riffs and beefy drums. Caught In A Dream is a straight up rocker which should capture a bit of airplay. With warm harmonies and super key work from Kevin McKendree, this track is tight. One of my personal favorites on the release, Crazy Jim , has a taste of Curtis Mayfield which is really nice. Delivered as a country ballad, this soul based track is really solid and nicely e...
