Singer, songwriter and harmonica wizard Russ Green was born and raised in Chicago, but his life took a long and winding path before he found himself on the blues highway – and eventually back in Chicago. As a Jimi Hendrix fan, a desire to create music had followed him through his studies and successful work in the film industry. As a student, however, the cost of a guitar had limited Green to making music with the harmonica that he already owned. That turned out to be more than enough. A blues life was born, nourished by returning to Chi-Town and working with harp players Sugar Blue, (“the Jimi Hendrix of the blues harp”) and Billy Branch.

 
Green is still following that path with the release of Stone Cold, the follow up to his acclaimed 2018 debut, City Soul, named by DownBeat as one of the best blues albums of that year. His latest album displays Green's maturity as a songwriter, his expressive vocals and the raw power of his harp work. Backing Green on the album are Giles Corey and Vince Agwada on guitar, Vic Jackson on bass, Felix “D Kat” Pollard on drums and Joe Munroe on keys.
Stone Cold is tightly coiled around Green's razor-sharp harp, delivered with soul-rich vocals filled with inventive lyrical imagery.

“12 Feet of Water” opens with an orchestral vibe around a lengthy harp moan introducing a tale with mystical overtones: “There's 12 feet of water in her living room / She called 911 and there's nothing they can do / 'Cause you know the rest of the house is just bone dry.”
