Ellis Paul: Jukebox On My Grave
I haven't posted here in a while; I've been very busy with work and side projects. Sadly, I've not been able to do much with my own music, either; but, I do listen and keep up with how independent artists are faring. One of these is Ellis Paul. He was a principal leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene with a folk-pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990's, a genre that I've never lost interest in.
I recently had the pleasure of hearing one of his signature songs: "Jukebox On My Grave," first released in 2005 on American Jukebox Fables. I immediately went to iTunes and bought it. Now, I'm previewing everything he's done, a pretty substantial list--he's put out 16 albums, his latest being Ellis Paul-The Dragonfly Races.
Highly recommended. Check him out.
Cheers!
Kenny
