 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.

I have been listening to the new release, The Cost Of Love, by Suzanne and The Blues Church. This is a debut effort by singer, guitarist and songwriter Suzanne Thomas who has recently been playing guitar and bass with Taste of Honey. The Cost Of Love is a contemporary blues recording with Suzanne taking the lead throughout writing 8 of the 10 tracks as well as taking on vocal and lead guitar. Suzanne began playing piano at the age of six and switched over to guitar in her twenties so she has a professional grasp on music construction. The recording is full of hot guitar riffs and professional backing by Ray Bailey, Jerry Jones-Haskins, Frank W. Garrett, Patrice, Bruce Edwards, "Rev" Charles Jones, Tyree, BR Milton and Jimmy "Z". The recording doesn't stagnate in a singular groove but moves around in a number of blues areas but most songs of tortured love. Suzanne covers All Your Love and Damn Right (I Got The Blues). Musta Been Gone Too Long is a funky blues tha...
