Product Details

Atlanta-raised and road-hardened over four-plus decades, Tinsley Ellis built his reputation as one of the most electrifying live electric blues guitarists working today, which makes his choice to strip everything back here all the more revealing. Acoustic settings have a way of exposing what a player is truly made of, and Ellis has deep enough roots in the Delta and Piedmont traditions to more than hold his ground alongside the names he's invoking.

2024 release. Tinsley Ellis unplugs and channels his masterful guitar skills and soul-baring vocals into a bracing collection of solo acoustic tracks steeped in the traditions of Muddy Waters, Skip James, Son House, Robert Johnson and even Leo Kottke. Nine newly-written originals sit alongside reverent, yet spirited, versions of House's "Death Letter Blues," Willie Dixon's "Don't Go No Further" and Kottke's "Sailor's Grave On The Prairie."
