"One of modern blues’ greatest performers.” – Vintage Guitar “A legend of American blues music…An American music treasure…Ellis delivers a sermon on the power and glory of the blues.” – Premier Guitar According to Tinsley Ellis, his new, first-ever solo acoustic album, Naked Truth, is both “a departure and an arrival.” Ellis has been recording and traveling the world for over four decades, delivering his feral, guitar-fueled, original electric blues-rock to ever-growing audiences at concert halls, festivals, and clubs. Naked Truth is steeped in the folk-blues traditions of Muddy Waters, Skip James, Son House, Robert Johnson, and even Leo Kottke. “This is a record I’ve always wanted to make and one that my longtime fans have been asking for,” he says, noting he’s included an acoustic mini-set in his concert performances for years.
