Tinsley Ellis has streamed his latest album Red Clay Soul in full.
The follow-up to 2015’s Tough Love has just been released via his Heartfixer label, and its set against the background of the red clay embankments of his home state of Georgia.
Ellis tells Guitar World: “Georgia is where the blues has got soul. From the gospel inspired Ray Charles to the R&B of James Brown and Otis Redding, to the rock’n’roll of Little Richard, to the blues rock of the Allman Brothers Band, all these acts have one thing in common.
“They all have the sound of Georgia – and down here we call that sound red clay soul.”
The album is on sale now in CD and digital formats. Ellis is currently touring North America.
