	Ellen McIlwaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McIlwaine's career has been irregular, plagued by what she has often described of conflict with her record producers who wanted to change her sound.
		As a female vocalist who mainly plays acoustic guitar, her music tends to be classified in the folk sections of record stores, despite her strong roots in blues, soul and rock music and her cover versions of songs by artists such as Isaac Hayes, Stevie Wonder and Browning Bryant.
		By the mid-1970s McIlwaine was highly regarded as a guitarist and one track by her was included on the best-selling various artists compilation The Guitar Album.

		Ellen McIlwaine was a member of a middle-late-60's band (whose name now escapes me) that eventually lapsed into obscurity; she is not exactly a new-comer to music.
		Ellen Mcllwaine is a strong singer with a very clear, smooth voice, and she mixes in some adequate-to-very- good piano and acoustic and bottleneck guitar work.
		But the rest of the record is silkenly polished and honed; Ellen Mcilwaine is grossly maligned if she is called just good, she's groat.

		Canada-based artist Ellen McIlwaine has long been regarded as a legend, both as a slide guitarist and vocalist.
		Although she's in her mid-50s, Ellen performs and records with more energy and passion than most musicians half her age -- which seems to be true among blues-based musicians in general.
		Ellen takes funk, blues and soul to levels and areas probably not seen or heard.

		Even though Ellen McIlwaine has been on the music scene for years, I can't recall ever having had the pleasure to hear her play before, live or on record.
		Ellen herself even admitted (albeit with tongue in cheek) that her mother would probably have preferred if she ended up on the "lighter" end of the musical scale - more like a Loreena McKennitt.
		In between songs, Ellen gave us some interesting, funny and thought-provoking experiences from her life - going to school in Japan - "I was in a classroom with kids from 28 other nationalities", the 70's - "I slept around to avoid dating", performing with a youthful Jimi Hendrix, and her present work with sick children.

		"You've got an attitude." Those were the parting words of Ellen's ex-manager right after she fired him for telling her that creating a band with her and Jimi Hendrix playing guitars was a bad idea because he was fl.
		She is a pioneer—as a woman in music and as an artist in tune with the sounds of the world, translating it all into a unique vision that continues to take her music to places words don't go.
		She's also bringing her music and imagination to this year's Collaboratory and the rest of the weekend, including what promises to be a very special collaboration in the family area.

		In 1982 Ellen organised a recording session with "one of [her] heroes", Jack Bruce.
		She was great – the voice powering out with that wide range (no whining upper registers from her!); swapping between acoustic, electric slide, piano and solo voice.

		Drawing on sources as diverse as Kitty Wells, Isaac Hayes, Smokey Robinson and Blind Faith, McIlwaine summons the spirit of a coffeehouse folkie dropping acid with Jimi Hendrix (which she probably did, since she was a pal of his...) while laying down some seriously funky, blues-drenched music.
		McIlwaine's nutty, yelpy soul sister yodellin' finds its highest expression on this disc, with crazed, funky versions of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill," and exuberant originals like "Lazy Day" and "Thirty-Piece Band." Also noteworthy is her wrenching version of "Down So Low," which rivals the Tracy Nelson original.
		Thankfully, the digital age found room for Ellen McIlwaine's music, in this case an indie reissue of her truly fabulous and idiosyncratic album, The Real Ellen McIlwaine, paired up on a single CD with a 1982 album, Everybody Needs It, which sadly was not up par with her usual high standards.
