Russ Green comes back with \u201cStone Cold\u201d, a contemporary blues album that deeply shines when his harmonica takes the control. Although the vocal arrangements and instrumentation appear consistent, certain tracks lean into a predictable landscape. Nevertheless, it stands as a solid, polished and enjoyable recording, even if it falls just short to reach a full explosion. The Chicago musician delivers a variety of electrifying, high-energy moments, showcasing both his absolute mastery of the instrument and a deep lyrical sensibility. Tracks like “Lint Redux” and the energetic “Boogie Joint” stand out for their compelling dynamism and instrumental fluidity. In these cuts, Green strikes an impressive balance between traditional blues roots and interesting contemporary touches. On the other hand, some tracks deliver rather repetitive structures that slightly stop the overall rhythm of the whole recording.<\/p>\n

However, specific songs, such as the album title track, clearly show Green’s amazing potential to revitalize the genre with an actual touch. Furthermore, the rock-solid rhythm section of bass and drums provide excellent support, ensuring the album\u2019s quality and reliability.<\/p>\n

In short words, \u201cStone Cold\u201d is a well-crafted, sophisticated record that highlights Green\u2019s undeniable talent, even if he occasionally cannot reach to deliver some truly breaking elements. Although it remains in the middle ground rather than reaching absolute excellence, it becomes a highly recommended one for blues enthusiasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
