The lights from the chemical plant

"The album is exquisitely produced and mixed by Jacquire King; it's refined, not slick. He illustrates Ellis' elusive, emotionally evocative songs, expanding their sonic reach to blur genre boundaries. Though he and Ellis embraces the sounds of Nashville's and Americana's pasts, they look forward, making use of rock and pop wherever it makes sense ... The Lights from the Chemical Plant is an inspired, mercurial record, by an artist who cares deeply for tradition, but refuses to be bound by it".
