"Wayland-based singer songwriter, Ellis Paul has the kind of voice that makes the heavens radiate with harmony. The winner of the Boston Underground competition in 1991, Paul first attracted attention through his recordings with the songwriter cooperative, End Construction Productions. Paul's solo debut, produced by Bill Morrissey, shows why he's become one of New England's fastest-rising-artists. Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar and joined by such musicians as Johnny Cunningham (Silly Lizard, The Raindogs) on violin and Geof Bartley on guitar, Paul reflects on both the boredom of small towns ("Look at the Wind Blow") and junkies, prostitutes, and crime lords of the city ("New Light On Your Halo"). Paul is at his best, however, during romantic ballads, melting the coldest heart. Vocalists Patty Griffin, Ellen Cross and The Story (Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball) blend smoothly with Paul's tenor, providing a warmth that makes even a potentially hard-edged tune, like "Angel," about a teen-aged junky, sound optimistic.
