From LA comes the golden voice of Tawny Ellis!  Influenced by Neil Young, Patsy Cline and the Pretenders amongst others Tawny devoted her musical career to Americana music. The Savannah, Georgia born Ellis brings together the best of both worlds.  From the freshness of the west Coast to the soul of the Bayou, her captivating voice  blends wonderfully with her self penned music and delivers pure music with a lot of twang.

“Evolve or Die” is already the third album for Ellis and the title track of this album was used in the new HBO film “A woman in the West”, that brings together once more the main cast of DeadWood.  Leading track of the album “Baby you’re the one” is one of the current singles of the album that hit the airwaves as is the second track “ Endless Black Ribbon”.   Both are 100% country tunes as are many other songs on this album!  This marks Tawny deriving an more specific sound instead of the sometimes rather general Americana moniker.

On “Train” without doubt one of the better tunes on the album, we hear a more “rocking” Tawny Ellis. Here she is mixing early Rockabilly influences with alt.country into a appealing tune that keeps lingering on for a long time. “I Already know” is also a great tune, with reflections of old country influences. Here you can hear once more the possibilities of her voice and the song writing talent of Tawny Ellis and her musical partner Giovanni Loria!
“Sweet dreams” the patsy Cline tune takes us once more to classic country territory as does “Blue” the Bill Mack tune.

Evolve or die is simply said a great country album for both purists as lovers of the newer genres of country.
