Robert Ellis: Photographs
Posted July 5, 2011
This Houston troubadour has a fondness for Nashville country-politan (just listen to the strings on the title track). While he's also got a gift for tapping into a tune's emotional tenor — in one song, he bemoans married friends' "lives with women, women I've never met" — he has trouble driving them home. Especially with a full band, his songs sound stilted, pulling up short just when they should kick into high gear.
