A beautiful
lady who can sing and play guitar – what
a perfect combination! Feels Like Family has:
Delta, Country, slow songs, Chicago-like electric
guitar, acoustic, slide and rock. I liked this
CD/DVD combo a lot, the music is pure and touched
me. I found the songs to have a great deal of
depth – vocally, Ellis is masterful. Not
a bad song on the CD, songs #2, 3 and 7 were
my favorite tracks. This is a must, must have.
Buy two – keep one and give one to a friend!
Ciao’
for now, peace.
