Tinsley Ellis- Get It!
About Get It
Product Description Landslide Records is proud and excited to announce its next release: GET IT!, the all instrumental album from Tinsley Ellis that his fans have been requesting for decades. Produced by Ellis, the CD marks the initial offering from his newly established label, Heartfixer Music. A hardworking veteran of numerous U.S. and international tours, Ellis' CD's have scanned well into six figures via releases from Alligator, Capricorn, Telarc and Landslide Records. He boasts countless great reviews, among them a rave from Rolling Stone which said: "Feral blues guitar...his eloquence dazzles...he achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton." A notable songwriter, Ellis' compositions include "A Quitter Never Wins," a version of which by Jonny Lang went multi-platinum. GET IT! features eight original tunes by Ellis, plus distinctive covers of Bo Diddley's "Detour" and Freddie King's "Freddi's Midnight Dream." Other musicians include Nashville keyboard whiz Keving McKendree (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer), bassist Ted Pecchio (Tedeschi/Trucks Band), and drummer Lynn Williams (Delbert McClinton). Beginning in February and going through March, Ellis will be featured as part of the nationwide BLUED AT THE CROSSROADS 2 tour along with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, James Cotton, and Jody Williams. Additionally, a full slate of festival, theater and club bookings awaits him for the rest of 2013. Review Nobody, not me or Tinsley, nor BluesWax Chip Eagle will notice without me telling you that this is the same headline as a 2005 story I wrote about Tinsley s then-new CD Highwayman. The CD title is changed to Tinsley s new CD, which I compliment and recommend now.In February and March 2013, I have been on one of the most enjoyable tours of my life. Blues At The Crossroads 2 is a tribute to Muddy and Howlin Wolf that played twenty shows in theaters and performing arts centers around the U.S. The basic band is The Fabulous Thunderbirds, featuring the amazing Kim Wilson. I believe Kim is at the peak of his powers, singing and confirming his reputation as one of the all-time great blues harp players ever. He hosts the revue with grace and pace.Today s version of the Fabulous Thunderbirds is spectacular, and I know I m only seeing them performing these old Chicago Blues songs, not the T-Birds old and new material. Mike Keller and Johnny Moeller are on guitars, Jay Moeller is a dramatic drummer, and Randy Bermudes lays down a deep foundation with his driving bass.The special guests for this tour include Mr. Superharp himself, James Cotton, and Chicago guitarist Jody Williams, known for his own hit instrumentals and his recordings with Howlin Wolf, Bo Diddley, and Billy Boy Arnold. I believe I m on the tour for my Muddy Waters credentials; I played in his band for seven years and carry on his slide guitar style, which I learned from him directly. I ve told my own blues stories in my music since my time with Muddy, but that s not what I m here to do. Originally we were going to have J.J. Grey as a guest. His wider-than-blues audience would attract more people to our show and though I don t know him, I m told he would interpret the Howlin Wolf songs strongly.Then, just two weeks before the tour started, I heard that J.J. Grey had to cancel due to a throat problem. And I got a call from my old friend Tinsley Ellis, who surprised me by telling me he was going to replace J.J. Grey. We talked on the phone for an hour, catching up, and looking forward to hanging out and playing together more than we have in the whole previous rest of our lives.It has indeed turned out that way. My friendship with Tinsley, a great musician, has grown from the opportunity. Before Tinsley and I tell you about his new CD, I m going to go back to that BluesWax article I wrote about him in 2005 and quote some of it, the story of how we got together a long time ago: In 1978 I had some time off from the Muddy Waters Band and I was par
