RON ELLIOTT - THE CANDLESTICKMAKER (180g LP)

Post Beau Brummels work by Ron Elliott -- and a set that really echoes the group's best moments on Bradley's Barn and some of the later albums! The style here is slightly rootsy, as in the later years of the BB's -- a blend of country influences and California hip -- often played with small group instrumentation, but carried off with a chromatic sophistication that's really unique -- a bit like the work of Tom Rapp, but not nearly as tortured. Elliott's vocals are great -- sometimes gruff, but certainly with a great degree of humanity -- and titles include the two-part, side-long Candlestickmaker Suite, plus Lazy Day, All Time Green, Deep River Runs Blue, and To The City To The Sea.
