 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!

I just had the opportunity to review the newest release, Relentless , from the Paul DesLauriers Band and it is relentless! Opening with Stewtro Rock , a hard driving rocker with a heavy bass line, this track shows that modern rockers are still making great music and with the partnership of Greg Morency on bass and Sam Harrison on drums, DesLauiers leads the way on lead vocal and guitar. Very nice! Boogie fused, I'm Your Man had eased up on the throttle a little but with intense work on guitar, drums and bass, this track is a serious entry. I really like it. Ten Feet Tall has a bit of arena feel to it with but with cool guitar riffs and raspy vocals, this track is a solid radio player. Another strong blues entry, Still Under My Skin has great guitar tones and a swampy feel reminding me of Jim Suhler. Paul really twists the guitar on this track and with rock solid bottom by Morency and Harrison, this may be one of my favorites on the release. Super. Funky blues number, Up In T...
