The Atlanta blues guitarist Tinsley Ellis has gained an outstanding reputation as a fiery and authoritative musician since his first record release in the early 1980s. On this self-produced 2007 collection, his fluid playing contains influences from both the blues and rock music, with the opening track "Say Too Much" incorporating Albert King-like phrases over a four-square R&B backing, and "Tell the Truth" displaying a Southern rock sensibility. The folk-blues of "Shadow of Doubt" gives Ellis the chance to show that he's just as compelling a performer on downbeat, acoustic material as on the swaggering, electric urban blues of "I Take What I Want," and the startling guitar pyrotechnics of "Bringin' Home the Bacon" stake his claim to being one of the early 21st century's most electrifying players.
Personnel: Mike Lowry (guitar); Kevin McKendree (Hammond b-3 organ); The Evil One (bass guitar); Jeff Burch (drums); Michelle Malone (background vocals).
Dirty Linen (p.76) - "Ellis' voice has become far more expressive and soulful....This is arguably his best studio effort yet."
Living Blues (p.39) - "Ellis shines on several dramatic ballads with lyrics matching the pain expressed by emotion-laden guitar solos. 'Freeway Soul' is one of his best ballads ever."

| | Johnny's Blues: A Tribute To Johnny Cash CD (2003)
Moment Of Truth
$12.65 
Effectively honoring an amazing song from an amazing performer requires that you kick against the grass marking the steps of the master. Cash's country music re-oriented toward its blues element gives kickers a general direction for a collection hitting more shin than soupçon. Paul Reddick's "Train of Love" whirs into life on its master tape capstan and jumps track 13 seconds in a show of off-roading; "I have wondered," he ponders in the liner notes, "how things might have been if Johnny had hired Mississippi Fred McDowell (Luther Perkins is chopped liver?) as the guitar player for the Tennessee Three." Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown joins forces with Benjy Davis to swing out "Get Rhythm," taking turns sounding agreeably road-wearied. Chris Thomas King tunes his 12-string guitar "down to B flat standard, which is the way Leadbelly played it," and recasts "Rock Island Line" as a talking blues, which it almost was anyway, then skates away on the train engineer's cheer at cheating the toll (though no one ever asks whether the burned toll man's waiting for him on the return trip). Faced with doing over a perfect song with a perfect arrangement, Garland Jeffreys brilliantly deduces that a little more makes a lot more, and filigrees "I Walk the Line" in accordion and a more pronounced "boom-chicka-boom." Harry Manx's "Long Black Veil" shimmers under his predictable but effective slide guitar and surprising touches of Indian instrumentation, plus desperate gospel-fueled backing vocals, stripping finality from tone, turning the song over into an unsolved mystery. OK, Alvin Youngblood Hart doesn't sound like he knows what he's doing on "Sunday Morning Coming Down"; he asks "Well, who hasn't been there?" in the notes, and the problem is he sounds like almost everybody else who's been there. But then along comes Sleepy LaBeef, sounding like his voice went down one half-step for each of his 68 years, singing "Frankie's Man Johnny" like no one ever told him it wasn't his. Don't settle for walking ...
| | Dave Dee/Dozy/Beaky/Mitch & Tich CD (1966) Bonus Tracks
Moment Of Truth
$16.65
Although the success of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich was nominal in the States, they fared significantly better throughout Europe. Dave "Dee" Harman (guitar/vocals), Trevor "Dozy" Davies (bass), John "Beaky" Diamond (rhythm guitar), Michael "Mick" Wilson (drums), and Ian "Tich" Amey (lead guitar) were an instrumentally self-contained unit with a penchant for aggressive pop leanings that remained buoyant and catchy, while simultaneously flirting with the subterranean freakbeat and mod rock scenes as well. That distinction can be heard between the pulsating rhythms of "Hold Tight," "No More Love," and "We Got a Good Thing Goin'" -- recalling the unmistakable sound of the Dave Clark Five. "Frustration," "Hard to Love You," and "All I Want to Do" are among the standout rockers with a notably edgier sting and sonic punch. This is stylistically augmented by the equally moving balladry of "Here's a Heart" and the emotive midtempo "Something I Gotta Tell You." [Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich's recorded legacy is only partially represented by their LP, however. In many (if not most) cases, 7" single releases would boast considerably different mixes or tunes that were otherwise not available on the 12" platters. Enthusiasts of the band should take note of the 2003 reissue of First Album, as it boasts no less than a dozen bonus tracks consisting mostly of 45-only sides and alternate edits.] ~ Lindsay Planer
Granted, the collective moniker of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich doesn't immediately conjure up images of a stellar Brit-pop quintet. That said, Dave "Dee" Harman (guitar/vocals), Trevor "Dozy" Davies (bass), John "Beaky" Diamond (rhythm guitar), Michael "Mick" Wilson (drums), and Ian "Tich" Amey (lead guitar) left a recorded legacy as one of the most criminally neglected English "beat" bands of the mid- to late '60s. Although issued stateside, their platters garnered little to no airplay, sales, or subsequent support. That rendered them as virtual unknowns to all but the most academic of '60s Brit-pop enthusiasts. On this 2003 CD reissue of the combo's first album, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick & Titch, the original 13-cut LP has an immensely ...
