Ellen Ellen https://ellenmcilwaine.net/ http://www.ellenmcilwaine.com/ (October 1, 1945 – June 23, 2021) 1968 Fear Itself Remastered -2006 w/ 2 bonus tracks: Billy Gene & Born Under a Bad Sign Ellen McIlwaine, blues singer and slide guitarist, dies at 75 .McIlwaine named David Lindley, Sonny Landreth- Official , ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, and dobro king Jerry Douglas as her favourite slide-guitar players, but she had a unique approach to the bottleneck. (..)"It's an incredible record. It's a super heavy psych blues rock, with female vocalist. Ellen. It's like Janis Joplin with a better band and a better voice.Highly recommended, if you can find it. ".. The first time I got introduced to this album I was mesmerizing by this magnificent spell of the voice of #ellenmcllwaine and I know this gonna be a sure trip to discover myself...my internal voice. The dark atmosphere of this amazing #1968 classic let me enjoy the complexity of any song and the variations of intensity that this record represents. Since that time I've listen to this jewel a lot of times...and never get exhausted. Got to confess that I think of this version of #theletter song (undisputed classic of all time!!!) Was original of #fearitself but obviously not 😅. But. Who cares??? The both original and the cover are amazing but if I have to pick one song of this album that literally #blowsmymind is the version of #bobdylan #inmytimeofdying ...is just...just...WOW!!!! I fell in love listening to this creepy masterpiece on a top of my favourite hill and becoming one of my favourites memories of all time !
