A life-long disciple of fiery old masters like Elmore James and B.B. King, and consummate blues rockers like the Rolling Stones and Johnny Winter, Tinsley Ellis seamlessly merges the gritty, enduring traditions of urban blues with the edgy, uptempo power of rock and roll. Hell Or High Water is a 12-track mix - all original material - of gritty, guitar-heavy blues laced with generous doses of Memphis R&B and urban funk. More than just a vehicle for flashy pyrotechnics, the album also showcases the formidable songwriting prowess and seasoned, full-bodied vocal attack that have made Ellis a force to be reckoned with for nearly two decades in the studio and on the road. On the other side of the mixing board in the Hell Or High Water sessions is veteran producer Eddie Offord, whose credits include Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, and 311 - as well as Ellis´ critically acclaimed 1994 album, Storm Warning.Selections Hell or High Water Hooked Mystery to Me Love Comes Knockin´ Stuck in Love Real Bad Way All Rumors Are True All I Can Do Love Me by Phone Feelin´ No Pain Ten Year Day Set Love Free
