Tinsley Ellis, Naked Truth, 2024 on Alligator Records

Tinsley Ellis has put out over 20 albums between 1982 and 2024, including more than a dozen on Chicago’s Alligator Records, one of my favorite blues labels (founded in 1971).

This, his latest, Includes “Grown Ass Man” (which I think should probably be “grown-ass man” since it’s really a compound adjective, isn’t it?) as well as covers of Son House, Willie Dixon, and Leo Kottke. Great contemporary takes on traditional blues.

Picked up this signed copy on gold vinyl directly from the artist at a show at the Shalin LIu in Rockport MA.
