Hailing from Tulsa, OK, singer/guitarist
Scott Ellison can sing and solo with the best of the blues-rockers circa the early 21st century, and 2008's
Ice Storm certainly proves this fact. As with most of the artists on the Earwig label,
Ellison isn't afraid to merge his blues-rock with horn accompaniments, and the end result is certain to please fans of the genre. Standout tracks include the horn/guitar solo smorgasbord known as "Big Blue Car," the slightly funky-ish "Pride," and the blues shuffle "Cadillac Woman," as well as the speedy instrumental title track. Although he's been on the music scene since the '70s, there's no question that
Ellison has certainly hit his groove on
Ice Storm. ~ Greg Prato
