 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.

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Perigon: Full Circle, by Dianne Davidson and it's full of rich, soulful ballads. Opening with Just Out Of Reach , Diane Davidson reaches deep with her strong vocal presentation, backed by Larry Cheney on guitar, Leigh Maples on bass, Nancy Gardner on drums, John Salem on keys, Roger Bissel on trombone, Denis Sole on sax and George Tidwell on trumpet. True Believer is an adventurous track with interesting sonic backing. Davidson's vocals are thick and deep and backing by Chaney on guitars, exotic instrument samples and loops, Maples on bass, Gardner on drums Jim Thistle on percussion and Michael Mishaw and Vickie Carrico on backing vocals make this my favorite on the release. Bob Dylan's, To Make You Feel My Love is another standout track on the release with some of Davidson's best vocals on the release. With minimal instrumental backing by Chaney on guitars, Gideon John Klein on cello, Donny Rels on viola,...
