 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.

Nelson lays out some scorching guitar riffs and Christopher Alexander on bass Chris Reddan really deliver. Certainly one of my favorite tracks on the release. Keep It All Together has a bit more rural country rock flavor leaning ever harder toward Skynyrd's "hit" sound including banjo riffs and simple, radio worthy guitar solos. Goodbye Forever has a light radio style almost reminiscent of Ozark Mountain Daredevils featuring Frank "Kingbee" Latore on harp.
