Ellis leans more to storytelling

Had things been different, Robert Ellis might be leading country music’s long-predicted return to its roots.

Alas, Ellis finds that role unappealing and has mostly turned his back on his classic country sound with a new album of singer-songwriter-influenced material, “The Lights From the Chemical Plant.”

This album leans more on the influences of such storytellers as Paul Simon and Randy Newman than the Texas troubadours who have shined through on his last two albums.
