Think of OUR MAN IN THE FIELD – aka Alexander Ellis – as an independent correspondent with his works dispatches from his travels. So classically crafted are Ellis’ songs that you could be forgiven for thinking you have heard Our Man In The Field somewhere before. As a duo, he and the accompaniment of pedal steel take inspiration from the alt-Americana and Caledonian soul stylings of Van Morrison, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ryan Adams and Wilco. His own sound is indefinable yet familiar- its introspective, intimate and deeply soulful style standing comfortably alongside modern-day artists Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice and Foy Vance.
