 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! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

Blue Heart Records artist: Sister Lucille - Tell The World - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Tell The World , from Sister Lucille, and it's a contemporary blues rocker with plenty of drive. On title track, Tell The World , Kimberly Dill on lead vocal sets the stage with excellent, wah soaked, guitar riffs by Jamie Holdren, Al Gamble on organ, Chris Stephenson on B3, Kevin Lyons on drums and Reed Smith Herron on bass. R&B influenced, Breakin' My Heart features Holdren on lead vocal laying down a funky rhythm and with a real nice solo making this a solid radio contender. Devil In A Red Suit has a more forward rock style featuring Holdren on lead vocal and a cool retro style. I particularly like  Lyons' drum work and Holdren gets loose with some real nice riffs. Wrapping the release is up tempo two stepper, Soulful Dress and Dill really belts out with bluesy feel. Peter Climie on sax, Will Paladino on trumpet and Freedman Steorts on trombone add some real nice accent work on horns and Holdren's c...

Endless Blues Records artist: Sister Lucille - Alive - New Release Review

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Alive , from Sister Lucille and it's a solid rocker with strong R&B, funk and blues roots. Opening with Won't Give It , a super funky rocker with horns and a heavy bass line, Sister Lucille, fronted by Kimberly Dill shows great swagger. With Jamie Holdren on lead guitar, Kevin Lyons on drums and Eric Guinn on bass and with Peter Climie on sax, Jared Dover on trumpet and Andrew Earle on trombone, a tight opener. On See My Baby , Holdren steps up front showing his slide guitar chops and sharing lead vocal position with Dill. With a southern stomp kind of attitude and solid bottom, this track rocks. Latin flavored Devil's Eyes has a real nice rhythm and tasty lead by Holdren and Dill's vocals really work nicely with the lone trumpet of Dover. Eric Hughes steps in on harmonica on blues track, Respect Your Woman trading the spotlight with Dill on lead vocal. The addition of Reba Russell on backing vocal,...
