Essentials / Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul creates modern folk-music at it's best. His songs pull from the traditions of his folk hero, Woody Guthrie - and others like him - but go beyond, mixing his own unique flavor of acoustic sound. You'll find many "story-songs" and a healthy dose of social commentary, but all ring with the voice of a talented songwriter telling us about life and the world as he sees it. His music has become an essential for me..
