notes
It has been said of singer-songwriter Ellen Woloshin that she is "blessed with the ability to beautifully frame a song with a voice that embodies the essence of warmth and sincerity." And, whether breathing life into her own original songs or creating fresh reinterpretations of cherished pop favorites, it is this magic that epitomizes Ellen's first solo recording, Tried and True.
This beautiful CD offers Ellen's songs performed with the insights only the songwriter herself can provide including an original duet, I Fall Hard with actor Mike McGlone of the films "The Brothers McMullen," "She's the One," and "The Bone Collector."
In addition, the CD offers a sprinkling of songs by other writers that struck a particular chord with Ellen. Included are George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Ellen says she was "touched by its moving message of leading with love rather than fear"); Bill Withers' Whatever Happens (which Ellen discovered in a "happy accident" as she was looking for a different Withers song); and When We Dance (a lesser-known Sting song which Ellen says "perfectly matched my voice").
Ellen has said she wanted Tried and True to be her personal collection of songs she truly loves to sing. And, in return, the world now has a classic, new voice that it can love to listen to. Join us in the celebration of Ellen Woloshin's Tried and True.

Warm, sincere and passionate album!
author: Kim LoftisOn her debut album, Tried and True, New York based singer songwriter Ellen Woloshin presents ten beautifully rendered songs full of passion, sincerity and soul. Ellen is not only a passionate performer, but she also possesses a wonderful voice, which is rich as honey, smooth as silk and exceedingly soulful. The album opens with “Just So Good”, a sensual and romantic song sure to delight the listener. It includes lovely, understated backing vocals, and sparse yet elegant instrumentation which complements Ellen’s rich vocal. “Here To Stay” is an upbeat optimistic song, with an irresistible chorus sure to have you singing along in no time. You can almost hear the smile in Ellen’s voice as she sings this song. Woloshin’s cover of Sting’s “When We Dance” is extraordinary; a passionate plea for love and acceptance. Truly mesmerizing. “Armed with a Broken Heart” is a mournful yet achingly lovely ballad, while “Tempted”, performed from this female perspective, is unique, and just as delightful as the original, and enhanced by Ellen’s lovely voice. Ellen’s cover of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is exceptional, and her delightful version of James Taylor’s “Something In the Way She Moves” is an album highlight. In her self penned ballad “I Fall Hard”, Ellen performs a lovely and passionate duet with actor Mike McGlone. With a slight country tinge, and the lyric “I fall hard honey, and I hurt long”, this is a very fine, and very heart felt, piece of music. “The Rise and Fall of The One You Love” is a catchy song about love found and love lost, and the closing track, “Whatever Happens”, is a positive, powerful and passion filled song perfect to end this wonderful album. Ellen has said that this album consists of songs she loves to sing, and that is obvious in her moving delivery of every song. Well paced, full of terrific material, and a great show case for Ellen’s fabulous voice, this album is a real winner for any music lover. Buy it… you won’t regret it! Highly recommended!
Heartfelt music for passionate adults
author: Wayne MackeyAn inspired collection of music for passionate adults. Ellen's voice carries Sting's "When We Dance" to a whole new level. The lyrical gem of this strong collection is "I Fall Hard" - a heartfelt expression for romantics who never forget, in the same emotional vein as Rickie Lee Jones' "Company" or Randy Newman's "I Miss You". Decidedly upbeat, "Whatever Happens" and "Here to Stay" nicely balance the CD's darker songs.
... surely a much welcomed addition to any music lover's collection.
author: Anthony Gallo"A mood enhancing, eclectic blend of contemporary melodic lure combined with comforting folk expression delivered via a soulful voice dripping with passion. Ms.Woloshin's "Tried & True" is truly a moving work, and surely a much welcomed addition to any music lover's collection."
Ellen's rich, soulful voice sings hauntingly wonderful songs
author: Ellen PetricEllen has a rich, soulful voice and has here compiled hauntingly wonderful songs, including some cherished old tunes. I Fall Hard is my favorite cut, but Ellen's interpretations of Something In The Way She Moves and While My Guitar Gently weeps are inspired. And why have we never heard Whatever Happens before? Perhaps the song was just waiting for this artist's rendition.
