New-school Delta bluesman William Lee Ellis sounds a little like Eric Clapton when he applies his raspy voice and "rolling and tumbling" acoustic slide guitar style to a song like "Snakes In My Garden," which slips along in an easy groove, Throughout God's Tattoos (Yellow Dog), Ellis keeps his vocals low and his guitar loose, crafting a set of lovely, rootsy songs. The best of the bunch is "Perfect Ones Who Break," a song of sympathy that blows through like a whisper… B+
