 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 stripped down rocker, Let's Jump A Train it has the makings of classic rocker Born To Be Wild. With a driving rimshot by Birddog Bussell and rocking guitar riffs by Rev Peyton, this track rocks. Pot Roast and Kisses has a twist of country rock and a lighter touch but still a bright vibrancy with a rolling finger style guitar riff by the Rev. Dirt has a gritty, swampy feel ... a modern blues style. I really like Peyton's vocals on this track which he also nicely compliments with his slide work. This is one of my favorites on the release. Raise A Little Hell is a foot stompin' raw, sliding track with military like cadence drumming by Bussell and washboard by Breezy Peyton. Very cool! Scream At The Night is a rambling country blues style track with really nicely articulated acoustic guitar, harp and percussion. Peyton ...
