Elli de Mon "Countin' the Blues" LP

For the best part of the past decade, one-woman-band Elli de Mon has been thrilling audiences across Europe with her unique take on the blues. Strongly influenced by the primordial blues tradition crosshatched with primitive garage punk, Elli’s sound is a lysergic journey through her soul.

During her pregnancy, Elli wrote a book about female blues artists of the 20's, titled "Countin’ The Blues: Indomitable Women." She decided to record the songs that she wrote about in the book, in tribute to these great women, whose art has been forgotten by most. "Countin’ The Blues" (the album) features ten songs. some are standards, others are lost treasures unearthed by Elli and brought back into the light of day.
