It has been said of singer-songwriter Ellen Woloshin that she is 'blessed with the ability to beautifully frame a song with a voice that embodies the essence of warmth and sincerity.' And, whether breathing life into her own original songs or creating fresh reinterpretations of cherished pop favorites, it is this magic that epitomizes Ellen's first solo recording, Tried and True. This beautiful CD offers Ellen's songs performed with the insights only the songwriter herself can provide including an original duet, I Fall Hard with actor Mike McGlone of the films 'The Brothers McMullen,' 'She's the One,' and 'The Bone Collector.' In addition, the CD offers a sprinkling of songs by other writers that struck a particular chord with Ellen. Included are George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Ellen says she was 'touched by it's moving message of leading with love rather than fear'); Bill Withers' Whatever Happens (which Ellen discovered in a 'happy accident' as she was looking for a different Withers song); and When We Dance (a lesser-known Sting song which Ellen says 'perfectly matched my voice'). Ellen has said she wanted Tried and True to be her personal collection of songs she truly loves to sing. And, in return, the world now has a classic, new voice that it can love to listen to. Join us in the celebration of Ellen Woloshin's Tried and True.
