Ellis Hooks is a great guitar player and an intense passionate singer who recently has appeared into the blues world with a powerful strenght and feeling As bluesman Louisiana Red he is also son of an Afroamerican father and a cherokee indian mother Aged 29, time has just come to him to devote himself professionally to music instead playing on New York streets where he used to perform to get some money until Diana Ross discovered him while was playing at Central Park In this second cd recorded for Evidence, Ellis makes us see all his talent on fifteen colourful, lively emotional songs Like every Evidence recording, quality, final production and performing have been carefully done taking into account Hooks artistic sensitivity It is an excellent piece of work of an artist who still has many things to say
