 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 Light The Fire , Jennifer Lyn on lead vocal and guitar ignites the package with potent vocals and joined by Richard Torrance on guitar and back vocals, creates a track with just the right amount of grit and blues. With Barb Jiskra on keys Nolyn Falcon on bass and Jim Anderson on drums and vocals this track is a solid opener. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Sucker For The Pain with a terrific beat, a strong guitar riff. Do Bad Things To You has a real nice swagger with a grinding guitar bottom and strong guitar lead, complimented by Falcon and Anderson on rhythm. '59 Cadillac has cool, funky, rhythm and a real strut. Lyn rides high on the vocals with wicked blues wah saturated guitar soloing giving the track real bite. Wrapping the release is radio oriented ballad, Do It All Again , with a memorabl...
