"Feral blues guitar...non-stop gigging has sharpened his six-string to a razor’s edge...his eloquence dazzles...he achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. —Rolling Stone

"One of modern blues’ greatest guitarists and performers." —Vintage Guitar

"Rugged, burning and riveting…Tinsley Ellis is a powerful and commanding presence, both on guitar and as a gruff, full-throated vocalist. It’s hard to overstate the raw power of his music. It’s impossible to not enjoy the ride." —Blues Music Magazine 

DEVIL MAY CARE features ten dynamic original compositions, ranging from intense roadhouse rocking to deep, simmering blues. Tinsley is at the top of his game throughout, firing off emotionally-charged guitar solos and gruff, soulful vocals as if his life depended on it.

During the pandemic, Tinsley Ellis wrote over 200 new songs, choosing his favorite ten for the album. The emotionally-charged guitar solos soar in full service to the songs, as if Ellis is living and breathing the sound rather than simply playing the notes. “The goal,” says Ellis, “was to make the guitar sing.”
