Midnight Blue

Landslide Records is proud and excited to announce its next release: MIDNIGHT BLUE, an all-new<br>set of original blues rock from guitar master, Tinsley Ellis. Produced by Ellis, the album marks the second release<br>from his recently established label, Heartfixer Music. A hardworking veteran of numerous U.S. and international<br>tours, Ellis picked up more new fans through his well-received all-instrumental album, GET IT! (HFM-1010),<br>plus appearances on 2013 s critically praised BLUES AT THE CROSSROADS 2 tour with The Fabulous<br>Thunderbirds, James Cotton, and Jody Williams. He boasts countless great reviews, among them a rave<br>from ROLLING STONE which said: "Feral blues guitar...he achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck<br>and Eric Clapton. A notable songwriter, Ellis compositions include A Quitter Never Wins, a version of<br>which by Jonny Lang went multi-platinum. Featuring some of Ellis finest vocal stylings yet, MIDNIGHT BLUE<br>includes wide ranging material that moves effortlessly from the powerful opening track,<br> If The River Keeps Rising, through the soul laden groove of Surrender, the rollicking Louisiana rocker<br> It s Not Funny, and a poignant, Ray Charles influenced slow blues, See No Harm. Additional musicians<br>include Nashville keyboard whiz Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer), bassist Ted Pecchio<br>(Tedeschi/Trucks Band), and drummer Lynn Williams (Delbert McClinton). Beginning in January Ellis will<br>perform a full slate of festival, theater and club bookings nationwide throughout the year.
