Folks,
Please note that this
Spread the News Forum is for Internet-related strategies to spread the news about Ellis' music. Keep general comments about
Dragonfly Races in the thread for the new CD in the
Breakin' thru the Radio Forum.
I'm going to lock this thread until we can start posting reviews of the CD on Amazon, etc. Then we will report our efforts here as we did for Ellis Paul
Essentials.
Thanks for helping to keep all this information organized!

It's always fun to hear/read of folks discovering Ellis Paul's music. One can half imagine the "light bulb over head" moment the minute they realize just what/who they've stumbled upon. It happened to me.

The May 2008 issue of
Nashville Parent magazine includes (on page 30) a review of Dragonfly Races. Below is the text of the review.
Karen
The Dragonfly Races
By Ellis Paul
Black Wolf Records
All ages; $15
Ellis Paul’s entrance into the family/children’s music genre marks a refreshing masterpiece. Taking inspiration from his two daughters, this dynamic folk singer delivers a project so sophisticated that at first spin you might not recognize it as a kid’s record, musically speaking. Paul’s unique turn of a phrase is creative and insightful. Coupled with the earthy, acoustic soundtrack, The Dragonfly Races provides a rich, soulful listening experiencethat gives young ears an appreciation for a music format that might not otherwise engage them. — chad young
