Description
Who is Robert Ellis? At first glance, hes simply a smiling, longhaired, twenty-two-year old in a hand-stitched western shirt and Dwight Yoakam-tight blue jeans. But theres more to this youthful Houston, Texas native than meets the eye. The young songwriters second release and debut for New West Records is an impressive and diverse concept album split between five breathtaking folk songs and five soon-to-be country standards. Listening to Photographs, one finds it difficult to pigeonhole Robert Ellis. Its even harder to remember that hes barely just begun.
Released in the US in July, Photographs is already being recognized as one of the great albums released in 2011. Now it is time for the rest of the world to discover it. For fans of Caitlin Rose.
This young Texan may be the future of country music that weve been waiting for American Songwriter.
Equally inspired by Jackson Browne and George Jones NY Times.
