Elliot Hall - Sonnets & Singers  
   
   

By Kevin

When you listen to Elliot hall, you have to listen in the same way that you would to early Bob Dylan or late Johnny Cash. The songs are raw and basic but this is their quality. The lyrics are sometimes childlike yet at other times quite complex and I do believe that they are torn from Elliot's soul.

Sonnets & Singers is an album of Elliot's songs with basic acoustic accompaniment and a little help from some mates.

 
There are some intense moments within this collection with songs like 'How you get things done' which encourages the listeners dark side with vigilante thoughts (c'mon, you know that you've had them)

In contrast 'Put down your Pipe' is an anti drugs song with a mostly positive message although the dealer does actually end up minus his/her fingers..

   
Overall you have to take this album as described above, it is raw and edgy but if you take the time to look below the surface you will be enchanted by Elliot's passion.
