Albums You Dont Have To Listen!

Press Reviews In the Feb 2000 edition of Country Music Review , Alias Country are described as a "welcome addition to the Country Music scene. Independent reviewer Pete Smith (no relation) in the April edition of the same publication states that You Don't Have To listen ! is " An album worthy of major label attention You Dont Have To Listen is a remarkable eight track album from Alias Country,and you could well rue the day if you don't listen to it;in fact I find it compulsive listening!This is an album of totally original material from Steve Ellis, his own unique vocal style is perfectly matched by an ensemble of some of the most talented musos in British country music.It is an album of differing styles that takes one from slow thought provoking ballads to the edge of Rock, but always with pure country music flowing through the main artery.
