 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!

 I just had the opportunity to review the debut release, Prime Vintage , from Steve Synder Trio and it's quite enjoyable. Opening with Legacy , a solid shuffle with a great walking bass line by Synder on organ. Joel Tucker on guitar lays out an excellent, fluid guitar solo with all of the feel you could want. Synder on organ sets his own solo keeping the excitement at a near boil, grounded by Kenny Phelps on drums. Great opener. High energy, Sharp Left , is really tight with a great intro by Phelps and Synder leading to a phrenzy of guitar work by Tucker. Synder again shores up with another solo of his own. Very nice. Latin flavored, Thank You , has real radio appeal with it's flashy rhythm and meaty exchange between Synder's warm organ and Tucker's fleet fingered guitar soloing. Wrapping the release is deep groove, So That's What This Is All About , with Synder creating a nice shuffle and warm feel on his organ. Tucker is on top of it with light touch, blues influ...
