Details: Amazon.ca Tinsley Ellis has earned a reputation for heavy blues-rock guitar since he quit Atlanta's Heartfixers in 1987. But Hell Or High Water, his first album for Telarc, lightens up just enough, so the sweet-and-high six-string intro to "Stuck in Love" enhances the song's guitar melody and the tenderness of his lyrics. He aims for a softer, thinner tone on "Real Bad Way" and turns "Feel No Pain" into a slow, soulful essay in guitar anxiety, full of telling fills, bends and solo breaks. He also plays a few acoustic numbers that really allow the butter-and-black-pepper tones of his Southern-accented voice to emerge. Not that Ellis is playing things too cool--there's still plenty of guitar fire all over this record. It's just that he's learned to control the burning. --Ted Drozdowski
