Tinsley Ellis – Naked Truth (Gold LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Atlanta-bred and road-hardened, Tinsley Ellis has spent decades as one of the most committed torchbearers in American blues, building a catalog on Alligator that spans electric fire and Southern soul. Stripping everything back to one voice and one guitar is a bold move for a player known for his fretwork, and the company he keeps here, from Son House to Leo Kottke, signals just how deep his roots run.
Vinyl LP pressing. 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."
