Tulsa, Oklahoma-native Scott Ellison looks like an accountant (not unlike fellow blues musician George Taylor), sings a bit like a dustbowl Howlin' Wolf and plays guitar like Old Scratch from the corner of Highways 49 and 61. Dusty Oklahoma is the home of many fine musicians not the least of whom include Leon Russell, J.J. Cale, Carl Radle and Chet Baker. Ellison adds to this impressive mystique on his third recording, Elevator Man, which follows his well recieved Ice Storm (Self Produced, 2008) and Walkin' Through Fire (Self Produced, 2012). Pound for pound, Ellison brings the blues funk to the forefront, playing a varied antipasti of our indigenous music.
