Carl Ellis and the Panthers have recently released their eponymous album, and it's an absolute delight for fans of blues and rock music. The album features ten tracks, each of which showcases the exceptional musicianship of the band members.
The album opens with the upbeat and groovy "Down In The City," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Carl Ellis's guitar work is particularly impressive, and his solos are both technically impressive and emotionally charged. The rhythm section, consisting of drummer Johnny Johnson and bassist Phil Thompson, provides a solid foundation for the songs, keeping the energy high throughout.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blues For The Lost Soul," a slow and soulful ballad that showcases Ellis's ability to convey emotion through his playing. The song is full of heart and is sure to strike a chord with anyone who has ever experienced loss or heartbreak.
Another highlight is the bluesy "I'm Gonna Leave You," which features some fantastic harmonica work from guest musician James Brown. The song is a classic breakup song, with Ellis's vocals and guitar work perfectly capturing the frustration and anger of a failed relationship.
