El Paso based vocalist Ellen Wilson makes it Kosher 101.9 line up of all time favorites. With a rich mix of jazzie, middle easter tunes for the soul.
Ellen M. Wilson’s Songs of Ascent is the perfect album for tense listeners in tense times. Songs of Ascent is a balm that rarely comes packaged in CD form. The compositions are all based on Jewish liturgy, but the arrangements and message transcend religious affiliation.
Collaborating with producer and arranger Scott Leader, one of the country's most sought after performers of original Jewish rock and folk music, the multi-talented vocalist- whose sound has been praised by many as "angelic" and "ethereal"- transcends all cultural and religious boundaries with rich and colorful interpretations of ten compeling songs.
Songs of Ascent opens with “Modeh Ani,” a grace said upon awakening. Wilson infuses the melody with haunting Middle Eastern tones reminiscent of the muezzin’s call to prayer. Station Mgr Maccabee stated that the music was an instant hit with listeners. "An oasis for the Neshma".
This powerfull, healing, spiritual songs will sweep you back to our ancestors.
