Let me tell you a little bit about us. The band 'Ellis Noval' consists of a singer/songwriter father and son core and has undergone several personnel changes to date.
Our first album has been extremely long in the making, having started the group in 1995 playing as many places as we could to build a following. Through our many experiences during those times, we realized that playing cover songs to several crowds was fun at the time, but it was not helping us make a name for ourselves as well as we would have liked. So we decided to concentrate a little harder on writing and recording our own songs. To start things off, let me tell you what we know of 'Ellis Noval,' the unheralded hero of the Civil War...
Ellis Noval was a gunsmith who was called into service during the Civil War and was assigned to provide services to Robert E. Lee and the troops reporting directly to him. Ellis was also a talented musician and noting the significant downtime in waiting between battles and the effect it was having on morale, Ellis used his skill and imagination to render his contribution to the cause. He took his black powder long rifle, attached a bridge, mounted some strings (we don't know how many) and fashioned a slide guitar. And out of concern for the morale of his fellow soldiers and friends, he played songs that took them back to more pleasant places in their memories. It is in this spirit that the band 'Ellis Noval' was created. We want to take folks to fond places in their hearts and memories, and perhaps share some of our own brand of wisdom through the words and music of our songs.
These debut tracks encompass just a small peice of our lifetime experiences, but hopefully they can either help you walk the road of life a little easier, or simply help you to tap your feet when you're a little down. If we can give a moment of peace or happiness to just one of our fans, then the production of all was worth the sale of that one. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we enjoyed making it.
Now let me tell you a little bit about each track you will hear...
