I'd say that worked out really well. The cover photo looks great - Velvet Ellis - in sepia tones - except for the blue of his jeans - can just make out my song title suggestion that made the Essential Ellis Paul cut...Midnight Strikes Too Soon.

I'm happy that it's all over but the gettin and enjoyin.....

:D

I can wait that long.......I guess.

I am in dire need of this CD because I am just learning his older stuff. It is essential that I get it as soon as possible. :P

I've listened to all four songs on My Space and absolutely love the version of 'Home' I liked the AJF version but the production on this one just seems to fit the song perfectly.

Great to have a new song included 'If she's the one' - can't wait for the release date of the new CD.

I didn't think I had ever heard "autobiography of a pistol" live....but wow was I wrong. I just checked my setlists and I've heard it 13 times! :oops: (I guess maybe I was getting it confused with "this old car".) ;) In my defense however, it has been a while....5 years. Too long! The last time was April 21, 2006 at the Mucky Duck in Houston. It'll be good to hear it live again! "Deliver Me" too! Oooooh.... the anticipation! :lol: The new version of AOAP rocks...can't listen to it and stay seated. ;)

I definitely like the new versions of "Maria" (reminiscent of the production on Translucent Soul) and "Home". And love "if she's the one". I'm a sucker for strings. :)

Did you guys notice the artwork when you click on a song to listen to?

Hmmm... She's a bit selective about when she appears on my computer - i.e. just for Maria and If She's the One.

She reminds me a lot of artwork on Richard Thompson's CDs and website (and I don't think it's just the bee!). Enigmatic is the word that comes to mind. 8)

I am definitely OCD on "if she's the one" (why doesn't MySpace have a freakin' repeat button?!) ...similar to "Maria" and "sky" ...it gradually builds and builds...sucking you in and up....another emotional rollercoaster ride....those high vocals bringing you to the mountain-top....then gradually bringing you back down every so gently...leaving you all out of breath and emotionally spent..... wondering what the hell hit 'ya.....

Karen, you're cracking me up! I most certainly agree, but you're cracking me up, nonetheless. :D

I've been listening to "If She's the One" pretty continually in the morning before I go to work and at night when I get home - I can't get enough of it! And can I say - I was profile view # 19300 on EP's myspace tonight... Aw yeah, baby, aw yeah.

Maybe "3000 Miles" had to go in for its 3000-mile oil change. ;)

I just had an extremely exciting realization. Only 47 days to go!!!! :shock: :D :D :shock:

Is there a preferred venue to purchase from? Like any direct order place where Ellis & co get a bigger share of the profits? Just curious.

Detective-Bonnie already got the scoop...but I thought I would also post the news here that pre-orders are now being taken at CD Freedom. :)

Ha Ha!! Detective-Bonnie had a little help from Manager-Ralph. :D I am on the Ellis Paul (e)mailing list and a heads up went out yesterday.

I tried to order yesterday, but I was too quick and the site wasn't quite ready to take my order.

Yes, I did notice that there was a slight jumping-of-the-gun yesterday.....not unlike what happened for Live at Club Passim. I guess the powers-that-be don't understand the definiton of EP Devotee. :lol:

Folks,

In the interest of simplifying things for my over-taxed brain, I'm closing this thread so we can concentrate discussion about Ellis Paul Essentials in the Breaking thru the Radio forum, in the thread started by our lovely bonuela. :) I'm just gonna tweak the subject line a bit.

Since there's now only 18 days 10 hours 22 minutes 58 seconds left until Ellis Paul Essentials is released, I'd like to ramp things up and start a conversation about the new version of "Home", but I'll do that in a separate thread. :)
