Robert Ellis – Photographs (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Robert Ellis arrived on the Houston scene steeped in the same tradition that produced Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, where songwriting is treated as a serious craft and pretty words alone won't cut it. Photographs announced him as someone worth watching closely, a young writer already comfortable sitting with heartbreak and memory rather than rushing past them.
Who is Robert Ellis? At first glance, he’s simply a smiling, longhaired, twenty-two-year old in a hand-stitched western shirt and Dwight Yoakam-tight blue jeans. But there’s more to this youthful Houston, Texas native than meets the eye. The young songwriter’s second release and debut for New West Records is an impressive and diverse concept album split between five breathtaking folk songs and five soon-to-be country standards. Listening to Photographs, one finds it difficult to pigeonhole Robert Ellis. It’s even harder to remember that he’s barely just begun.
