Some musicians use their music to chronicle their lives. Others write life stories. The ability to tell their personal story via songs that also capture the essence of the people and places that have contributed to the overall definition of their age is a unique talent. Both Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan spring to mind. Certainly, Bruce Springsteen. But few others, no matter how brilliant they may be, can connect their own past to the history of individuals who share that relationship, whether it be in a coming-of-age, experiencing the same realities, or having similar experiences. One of those talented singer/songwriters is Ellis Paul.
Although he is sometimes referred to as a folk singer, he is more of, for lack of a better term, a unique storyteller. He is a musician whose words reach out from within and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people, regardless of age or upbringing, can relate to in one way or another. The thrill of being on the open road. A tribute to heroes. The expectation of salvation. A description of something that is both dear and close to you. Intimate, intense and shared enduring love.
The soundtracks of several popular movies, including three by the Farrelly Brothers — "Hall Pass" (starring Owen Wilson and Alyssa Milano), "Me, Myself, & Irene" (starring Jim Carrey) and "Shallow Hal" (starring Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow) have thankfully made his music accessible to a wider audience as well. Peter Farrelly's description of Paul as "a national treasure" perfectly captures the feelings of all those who have grown to know and love his music..
