Ellsworth

"From the first song, Ellsworth sets his agenda, and that agenda is to make an absolute blinder of an album. The tunes are fantastic - singalongable, lighter-waveable, head-noddable. Ellsworth and chum play super-hot guitar - light, heart-plucking, perfect solos, and melodic backing that culminates in a truly satisfying album." - Helen Purves, Rawstar.net Read the full review here: http://rawkstar.net/reviews/releases/79

Ellsworth's newest CD, American Compost, is a smart, rockin' romp down the Great American Rock & Roll Superhighway; a dynamic array of tunes that demand attention from the first note with razor-sharp lyrics and driving beats. It's a loose collection of rockers and ballads that look for, and sometimes find, hope in the face of decay and destruction. As he says on the liner notes, ?The cutting edge is not the whole story. What's vanished is not lost. What gets passed on is the essence, the heart, the spirit, the compost, from which everything grows?.

Some of Ellsworth's original songs have been featured on radio, internet and feature films. ?The Moon is a Faithless Lover? was in Ghetto Dawg with Drena DeNiro and Gianna Palminteri. And ?The Things I Gotta Do to Stay Alive - Are Killing Me? was in [The Clinic, an independent film that won Best Screenplay in the NYII Film Festival. His song ?Up Above the World? was picked for the 2004 UMO Music: The 14 Best Singer/Songwriters of Greenwich Village compilation CD.
