James Ellis returns today, armed with a new single in Lonely, Sad and Blue. Taken from his forthcoming album The Party Might Be Over, and following recent single Don’t Drink All By Yourself (If You Can’t Be Drunk Alone), it’s another fine offering from the much-loved Country & Honky Tonk artist.
With two acclaimed albums – It Ain’t Texas (But It Ain’t Bad) & Country Lion – and a Best Country Album award with his band The Jealous Guys under his belt, Ellis’ third album The Party Might Be Over is set for release on November 8. Recorded in Nashville at Creative Workshop and produced by Micah Hulscher (Margo Price), with additional production by Alex Munoz, this new full-length recording features some of Nashville’s finest musicians across the record, such as; Chris Scruggs (Marty Stuart), Fats Kaplin (John Prine), Lillie Mae, Craig Smith (Jim Lauderdale, Lillie Mae), Alec Newman (Kelsey Waldon), Nate Felty, Tim Baker and more…
