TINSLEY ELLIS - Labor Of Love - LP - Peach Colour Vinyl [JAN 30]

LP - Limited Edition Peach Colour Vinyl. 

Tireless road warrior with 40 years of national and international touring, Tinsley Ellis is recognised as one of the very best contemporary acoustic blues guitarists, songwriters and performers in the world. His 2024 Blues Music Award-nominated release, Naked Truth, has scanned over 6000 units. Since before the release of Naked Truth, Tinsley has performed over 200 solo acoustic shows throughout America. 

Labor Of Love is a raw, edgy, self-produced set of 13 original compositions spinning modern tales of floods, conflagrations, voodoo spirits, personal hardship and heaven-sent prayers. The performances utilize six and twelve-string Martin acoustics, a 1937 National Steel guitar and, on three tracks, mandolin. The songs carry the weight, hard-earned wisdom and humor Ellis picked up over four decades on the road. Labor Of Love is as profoundly deep as any music he’s made in his career, mixing gentle beauty with foot-pounding ferocity.
