Folks,
I had a hankering to hear Ellis' Stories this morning. Like any first love, the passage of time doesn't diminish the memories and feelings evoked when the re-connection is made. Wow.
A couple of things:
I miss the harmonica.
I love Patty Griffin's wailing on "River".
"Don't Breathe" does just that.
"autobiography of a pistol" in ingenious.
I hope some of these songs are resurrected....

Ellis Paul's STORIES
"Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see." -- Ann Patchett in Bel Canto.

Our discovery of the music of Ellis Paul started innocently enough with one song on a compilation disk: Ashes To Dust ~ Legacy 2.
Our first full experience of the music of Ellis Paul came soon after with the release of this album - luckily a few weeks later.
We could not believe our luck.
Stories played non-stop in our house for quite some time. In an apartment at the time, the volume levels varied, but rest assured it sounded great blasting through the speakers - as it often did - as well as at a more neighborly level.
I second all the motions - and emotions - presented by KarenZ.
What an album!
