In America, youthful-modern country is hard in. From Lady Antebellum to Carrie Underwood to Taylor Swift, there's a lot of young brats who give old truckers wet dreams. The also very young Betse Ellis not only sings well, but also plays the Fiddel brilliantly. "The Traveler" is pretty buoyant country folk. The violins play, a banjo is plucked. The song sounds like an adult country of the good old kind. On the "Golden Road" the Lap Steel also sobs, reminiscent of the outstanding David Lindley in its playing style. House music brand USA. The journey continues instrumentally. "Long Time To Get There" puts the fiddle more in the spotlight. Yee Haw! In the stubborn "Straight To Hell" Ellis plays a whole armada of string instruments. Also other titles like the quiet "Elk River Blues", twice surprisingly fast electric Indierock between Patti Smith and Sheryl Crow as well as various melancholy Traditionals prove that the woman is a serious artist and outstanding virtuoso. If you love this style, you've come to the right place.
