Review of Tinsley Ellis - Southern Rock Meets the Blues

A very nice go around for the Great Tinsely Ellis!
This is great example of a well planned piece. There is a great amount of context and story telling provided. This is not just un-interview interview; it's story that doesn't forget that culture affects each artist in their own.
I appreciate the honesty from both the artist and the host. By attacking the blues/southern rock pop culture clash directly, we gain insight into how a man makes his career just outside the bulls eye they anticipated. I really got a nice sense of unfilled dreams traded in for the grind of the job. That's a bit stilted i guess, but there is a passion for life in this piece that rings true.
There are some technical issues with this piece, the narrator is very hollow sounding compared to the rest of the piece. There are some leveling issues too. Not a huge deal, but it is a bit noticeable in earphones.
