 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 Cycle One , guitarist Adam De Luca and Oz Noy   open with clean, melodic, phrasing with Henry Hey on Rhodes piano sounding somewhat like a Jeff Beck/Max Middleton sequence before breaking into an excellent Cody McCorry bass solo pushed by Jordan Perlson on drums. Rocker, Store On The Corner, has a driving bottom courtesy of Tim Lefebvre on bass and Perlson on drums. Brian Lawlor on keys sets a melodic floor and Michael Ghegan on sax leads the way. De Lucia flexes his strat with some muscular riffs but keeping it to a solid jam. Will You Follow has an Asian feel with a modern Latin rhythm led by Hey on Hammond and Rhodes, light vocal melody by Chrissi Poland and Ghegan, and De Lucia on strat with an attack resembling classical Spanish acoustic. Lefeebvre and Perlson anchor the track on bass and drums. Quite different. Wr...
