Ellis Tinsley?

[David Meek]

Anyone out there familiar with this artist? He's a blues/R&B/rocker that just got a very good write-up in The Audiophile Voice. I've never heard him but I tried to pick up the reviewed CD - The Hard Way - and once again my attempt at an impulse-buy at Best Buy fizzled.

David, just did a search on this disc and it's available at fye for 13.99
and also at silver platters for 15.99
Thanks for the heads up on this one, its fairly recent and looks very promising
BTW fye ships within 24hrs I,ve used them before with good results.

Later, Dave.

Yessir, the more I look into this album, the better it sounds. Here's a review from the All Music web site.

I noticed this album is a Telarc, and that gives me a "warm fuzzy" about the production values.

Oh, I've fixed the name in my first post. ops:

That is one place I miss not living in Washington anymore...Silverplatters!!! I used to spend countless hours in their Sea-Tac and Tacoma locations. Very good staff, solid selection and a great enviornment to relax and sample music.


I never heard of this artist. I'll give him a listen.

Oh David,

Thanks for the link. That is a very nice site. I love the amount of info they give on the artist. Really helps the decision making process. :T

Here's the funny thing John,,,
The two "Silver Platters stores that you mentioned are the one's that I
visit most often (the one in Tacoma) has been closed for some time now though, The chances that You & I have met and talked music is pretty good
as I am always meeting folks there and talking music with them.
Heres an update, the store chain is getting a face lift in the fall and it also
sounds as if they will be going deeper into the Import stuff as well!!!
thier selection of DVDs is huge!!!

[John Holmes]

You are probably right Dave! I've spoken with many people during those listening session. It's been 6 yrs since we've moved from there. I didn't live far from where you are now. It was just off of 224th & Pacific, just behind the Chevron station. Small world eh?!

We could have shared info on Tinsley Ellis! :W

That is a nice site, isn't it? :T Glad you like it big John.
