By Bman -

 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! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Red Devil Lye , from Walk That Walk and it's a country blues rocker. Opening with The Daydream , Poppa C DeSnyder on dobro and lead vocal in a Waylon kind of style, joined by Jon Reese on bass, Stickman Waldron on harmonica, Pappy Biondo on banjo and AlanWaters on drums. Driving rocker, Heavy Music, has a solid melody with DeSnyder on guitar and lead with Jimmy James Love on backing vocal and guitar, Ray Paczkowski on keys and Richard Cheese Welch on drums. You Don't Love Me has deep blues roots in Morganfield territory, with DeSnyder on vocal and dobro, Biondo on banjo, Waldron on harmonica and Waters on drums. Very cool. Wrapping the release is Jimmy Oden's On The Road Again made popular in the 70's by boogie band, Canned Heat. Love takes the lead on vocal joined by Waldron on harmonica, Reese on bass, DeSnyder on guitar and Waters on drums. This is a cool release with a nice slice of blues.    ...

Walk That Walk - Big World of Trouble - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Big World of Trouble , by Walk That Walk , and it's a cool, modern mix of delta, boogie, and funky blues. Opening with Roof Got A Hole In It, Popa C. De Snyder on slide guitar and vocal harmonizes with Tim Gartland on harmonica and vocal. Backing vocal by Maria Tollefson and Jonathan Rossoff add richness to the mix.  A cool contemporary acoustic blues, a solid opener. On John Lee Hooker's classic, Boogie Chillen , Stickman Waldron on harmonica, Randi Laak on drums and Mike Barrows on bass really do a nice job with DeSnyder on lead vocal. His riffs on guitar have a modern sound but deeply rooted in Hooker's own riffs. Very cool. Poppa C has a deep vamp supported by Dirk van Gulden on bass and Laak on drums. Gartland on harmonica and DeSnyder on vocal and guitar really dig in on this one and Ted Hastings Armstrong adds keys that flesh the track out nicely. Muddy Waters' Still A Fool maintains all of the ener...
