Rory Ellis - Two Feathers (Villainous) Australian singer-songwriter Ellis is a regular visitor to these shores, appearing at festivals and clubs all over the UK. Like many of his countrymen, his style borrows from American roots music, but doesn’t concentrate overly on any one genre. Country, blues and folk styles all get an airing, but standing centre stage is always the song, and more often than not, Ellis has a story to tell. Subjects vary from Australia’s involvement in the Middle East conflict to more personal tales of juvenile derring-do, but all are delivered in Ellis’ rich, deep voice - an instrument that might just be unique - and the production is warm and sweet throughout. Hopefully Two Feathers will be the record that breaks through to a mass audience, but if crossover success remains elusive, that’s no reason for you to miss out.
