 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.

I just received the newest release, Rock On Fearless Journey , by Julie C Myers . Opening the release is a daring cover of ZZ Top's My Head's In Mississippi featuring Troy Lancaster on guitar, Tommy Harden on drums, David Dorn on keys and Steve Bryant on bass. Cool! Up next is a nice R&B track, Can't Get My Heart Around That . Myers teams with Tanya Hancheroff on vocals. Mike Rojas lays down a cool key part and Lancaster is back with smooth slide work. Your Eyes Are Telling On You is a pop rocker with a country twist. Dorn on synth adds depth and Harden's drumming is tight. Mark Douhit plays a nice sax intro to smooth pop jazz, Take A Horse To Water . The overall vocal mix and lead on this track makes it the radio favorite on the release. Ballad, Your Time Is Through , has an interesting country feel with vocal harmonies with Jason Nix and Hancheroff as well is what sounds like baritone guitar work. Nice. Your Side of Town is an interesting soul tune done to a ...
