 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.

Opening with a hot funky blues, Fame and Fortune , Turner shows his chops which venture from Albert to BB with cool bass work, also by Turner and a nice horn backing by Gene Meros on sax and Gary Hendrickson on trumpet. On Mojo Hand , David Satterwhite lays down a nice bass line and Turner stretches out some pretty funky blues riffs on guitar. Meros and Hendrickson are back on horn giving it a kind of Memphis sound and Turner's vocal phrasing reminds me a bit of Johnny Guitar. A real swinger, C.C. Rider , takes a different tempo than what is typically associated with this track with Hendrickson pushing the lead on trumpet amd Meros holding down the bottom. Charles Pearson adds some really fine key work with tight drumming from Sean Graves but it's the solo work of Saxman Meros and Turners guitar work that makes this track sing. Sabrena has a kind...
