She has this amazing voice that bears an uncanny resemblance to that of our beloved Ms. Griffin.

Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 13:47:16 -0400 To: ellispaul-list@ellispaul.com From: "(Ellis Paul)" Subject: LIVE RECORD ON THE WAY Greetings from Cambridge, Mass.... Ellis Paul is holed away at a recording studio mastering his next release...a two-disc live record! Ellis fans are going to be blown away. There are a bunch of never-released new songs, special guests like Patty Griffin, Chris Trapper of The Push Stars, Vance Gilbert, and others, and lots of magical moments recorded at the beautiful Somerville Theater in the Boston area. Look for the live record in the first part of 2000 on the Rounder/Philo label. It will be a busy end of the decade for Ellis. In addition to the live CD, he has several other projects in the works : Ellis is looking to publish a book of his writing, lyrics, drawings, journal entries, and poems. We are exploring publishers and editors and would appreciate your input if you have experience in this field. Contact me by reply email or by phone at 617/441-3808. Filmmaker John McNeil is in the last stages of shooting his documentary film on Ellis. Look for more news about this project in the coming year. Ellis' website -- www.EllisPaul.com -- has a brand-new credit card ordering processor for online product orders, and we just started a discussion board that will keep you entertained and informed. Look for the discussion board link bottom center of the site. Thanks for all your support of Ellis' music. As always, I would love to hear about any suggestions or questions you may have.

Coming from a mostly pop and rock background, I was unfamiliar with most modern folk and folk/rock music. I was unusually lucky to have Ellis Paul give me my first lesson in modern folk, as I gave "Translucent Soul" a listen. It's not often that a CD's opening track grabs my attention as dramatically as "Take Me Down" did. The Boston-based singer songwriter has a knack for writing melodious, fluid, simple songs. Often times, songs are dominated by three or four chords, yet his floaty vocals, fluid guitar playing, subtly cool production and intelligent lyrics overshadow any slight oversimplicity in his songwriting. The excellent mix of guitar, keyboards, and light drums on this album are just the right tools to convey Ellis' passion. The first track "Take Me Down" really drew me into the album and enticed me to listen more. I am incredibly impressed with the simple yet powerful songwriting of track number three, entitled "Seven". It takes the somber mood to a new level and builds up to a truly amazing chorus and bridge. This song quickly and easily became one of my new favorite songs. What a wonderful amalgamation of melody and rhythm. Ellis' introspective lyrics are, for the most part, a very interesting window into his consciousness, and are as diverse as they are melodic. "Did I Ever Know You?" and "She Loves a Girl" are excellent examples. Without a complete listen, the average Joe may pass off "Translucent Soul" as being wimpy and perhaps too touchy-feely. Ok, so maybe it's a little bit on the sensitive side, but anyone with even the slightest sliver of passion in their soul will appreciate this album. Besides, what's folk without being honest and true to your feelings? Ellis has received acclaim from many major publications, with good reason. Ellis may just be the folk/rock crossover artist that will put a new twist on our airwaves. Even if Mr. Paul doesn't breakthrough to mainstream radio, his music will be heard by his countless fans and continue to bring powerful music into the lives of many. It's great to hear passionate music again. I was wondering where it had gone, but I guess Ellis has been doing it all along. -- Ethan Tufts ### ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V3 #267 *********************************
