JAMES ELLIS
“Don’t Drink All By Yourself (If You Can’t Be Drunk Alone)”
This one jumps out at you! Crisp, bright audio, very distinctive vocals, a sweet sweet Melbourne/Nashville sound – James Ellis has nailed it!! “Don’t Drink All By Yourself (If You Can’t Be Drunk Alone)” harks back to a much travelled tradition of drinking tunes but something is different here, something unique – I can’t put my finger on it, it just sounds refreshing and vibrant. It’s almost like something brand new has arrived – it’s that good. I love it!
Folks, we are living in a golden era of music in Melbourne, James Ellis, The Smith & Western Jury and Freya Josephine Hollick are at the pointy end of brilliant songwriting that’s heralding something very special – tune in and grab hold of it. We are living the dream in Melbourne!!
