William Lee Ellis comes with his powerful passionate acoustic blues full of chromatic beauty This singer and guitar player has gained a big recognition among specialized media from London to Los Angeles William’s musical language follows the same direction the sun runs, that is to say from Delta to Appalachian mountains This is the most complete album Ellis has recorded till now, because he has included a capella gospel music, highland music, some country but, over all, new musical structures all gathered from old traditional musical stereotypes Ellis takes back with his own personal style William performs his own compositions but he also does tastefully Chuck Berry’s covers or beautiful Mississippi John Hurt’s or Yank Rachell’s blues songs In short words, this is a very gratifying piece of work
