Ellis Paul has rapidly become one of the most respected singer/songwriters on the contemporary folk scene, earning praise from Newport to Kerrville and countless concert halls and coffeehouses in between. His songs are matchbook masterpieces of character and detail, mood and moment, from the taut 'Midnight Strikes Too Soon' to the deliciously casual 'Paris in a Day,' and are made real by Paul's distinctive voice, floating and stinging above the open chords ringing from his guitar. A Carnival of Voices -- produced by Jerry Marotta and featuring support from Tony Levin, Duke Levine and Patty Griffin -- is both intimate and expansive and is Paul's finest album to date.
