Scott Ellison - Good Morning Midnight (2017)

It was a couple of years ago when I got my first Scott Ellison CD, Elevator Man. I enjoyed the heck out of it and we played several cuts from the album on the show. We didn’t hear much about Ellison after that, and that CD stayed on my shelf waiting for some new material to join it. Well, the wait is over, and I am happy to report that Ellison has released a monster of an album entitled Good Morning Midnight. The album has got a lot to offer. Besides the great blues and blues rock that Ellison is known for, he’s also got some swing music, a big band instrumental, and one song that had me reaching for a tropical drink.

There’s some holy music opening the album on Sanctified. It’s got gospel fervor and some sweet backing vocals from Marcy Levy. The song has a good rocking beat and a hot guitar break. All in all, it’s a great way to open the album. Preach, brother. Ellison follows up with some swing on No Man’s Land. It’s some fun music that will definitely make you want to get up and dance. His vocals have the requisite growl and his guitar sings just as much as he does.
