Artist: Ellen McIlwaine Title Of Album: We The People Year Of Release: 1973 Label: Polydor Country of Artist (Band): US Genre: Jazzy bluesy folk rock Audio codec: FLAC (*.flac) Rip type: tracks+.cue Audio bitrate: lossless Brilliant work from the great Ellen McIllwaine! Ellen's certainly not a soul artist -- but she's got a particularly soulful approach to folk rock -- one that's made her a favorite of groovers worldwide in the past few decades, thanks to a big push from Gilles Peterson, and the club scene in Tokyo and Germany! The approach on this record is kind of like a mixture between Chaka Khan and Joni Mitchell -- lots of upbeat grooves, mixed with jazzy acoustic guitar and some wonderfully soaring vocals -- in a style that needs to be heard to be fully understood. The standout cut is the amazing "Jimmy Jean", a soaring jazzy dance cut with unbelievable vocals -- and other nice ones include "Sliding", "Ain't No Two Ways", and "All To You". Tracks: 1.
