'Tinsley Ellis', after 30 years of career, returns for a 17th studio album with 'Winning Hand'. Always in the great tradition of blues/rock in the manner of an 'Eric Clapton' or a 'Jeff Beck', it offers us nine original titles that could all have been standards in the 60s/70s so that the 10th title which is a cover of 'Dixie Lullaby' by 'Leon Russel' fits perfectly into the whole. Between energetic compositions like 'Sound Of a Broken Man', 'Nothin But Fine', 'Kiss The World' or 'Satisfied' and melancholic blues that exude a wonderful feeling like 'Gambin' Man', 'Autumn Run' or the beautiful 'Saving Grace' that gives you the thrill, the voice and the guitar game of Ellis make wonders. In short, with this 'Winning Hand', 'Tinsley Ellis' continues to perpetuate in the best way that it is this great tradition of blues/rock which was at the origin of many musical currents... | |
