NEW
VIDEO FROM WYATT ELLIS
|
|
Bluegrass
phenom Wyatt Ellis
shovels coal into the firebox of tradition with his new single and
video, “Choo Choo Coming,”
a high-octane version of the 1957 classic, arranged, performed, and
produced with his unique spin. Ellis breathes new life into the track,
and in the process, unveils his stellar touring band. “Choo Choo
Coming” is the East Tennessee native’s first release featuring
vocals.
The
video was directed by Joseph
Cash and was shot in Delano, TN aboard one of the
historic Hiwassee
River Scenic Railroad trains. Ellis' new touring band
is featured throughout the video:

The
song was originally penned by Pike County, Kentucky mandolinist Cuddles Newsome, and
recorded by the Flat
Mountain Boys. When the Stanley Brothers recorded their
version a few years later, it became cemented in the bluegrass canon.
Now, nearly 70 years on, Ellis’ performance adds a new historical layer
to the classic, featuring precision picking, tight harmonies, and the
powerful drive that defines bluegrass music.
