After the very good ‘Winning Hand’ in 2018, ‘Tinsley Ellis’ continues on his way and released a new studio recording ‘Ice Cream In Hell’. We thus find a blues/rock in the purest American tradition with compositions in which the electric guitar of Tinsley takes an important part that it is in the solos which are well supplied but also in accompaniment of song as he knows so remarkably how to do it. Whether in a catchy style like 'Last One To Know' which recalls the late 'Joe Cocker' or the catchy boogie / rock 'Foolin' Yourself ', simple but so effective or even' Sit Tight Mama 'in the style of the King , but also in a much quieter and more intimate style like the classic 'Hole In My Heart' but very emotional or 'Ice Cream In Hell' with funky rhythm or the magnificent title ending the album 'You're Love's Like Heroin 'in which he shows an emotional power to his paroxysm whether in his singing but also in his guitar playing, he entertains us over the entire length of this 'Ice Cream In Hell' and spent the last notes of 'You' re Love's Like Heroin', we only have one desire, it's to press the play button again.
In short, as you will have understood, 'Tinsley Ellis' is one of those blues artists who perpetuate in the best way that it is a style which was at the origin of a lot of genres of music and 'Ice Cream In Hell' is intended not only for fans of authentic blues/rock but also for a large audience who will undoubtedly be touched by so much talent... | |
