The purest honesty test I know is the human voice in song as evaluated through the human ear by people who value integrity above technology and gimmickry. The voice needn't be the strongest or the prettiest, because honesty trumps those qualities every time. A voice that can connect you emotionally with truth, evokes inside the listener feelings of passion and not without compassion, feelings of lust but not without love, feelings of fear, but not without courage. Such a voice reveals the pity and power in a person's soul and tells us who they are beyond the clothes, the flesh, the words and the masks. Such a voice often tells us who we are as well. Dorothy Ellis has such a voice. The cool thing about an honest voice is that it can convey its value on the first note and it doesn't matter who's listening. Human beings are innately aware when they come upon the real thing. There's a Western movie where a guy who has never seen a real wild Indian warrior asks a veteran how he'll know one if he sees one. "Don't worry", says the Vet.  "You'll just know" . Miss Blues is a living blues legend. This lady CAN SING!!! Songbirds have nothing on her. If you like your blues with attitude and spice, you’ll love Miss Blues. And she can cook!!! Miss Blues and her blues band have played festivals all over the United States and the world! She was inducted into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame in 2004! In 2007, Miss Blues was voted the Best Blues Band in Oklahoma and received a "Woody" award from the Oklahoma Gazette which called her "the state’s first lady of the blues - all soul and she lets you know it! Belting out songs in a signature way that her many admirers have come to call the Texas Shout!" Miss Blues has been featured (cover story) in both the February 2000 and October 2007 issues of Southwest Blues Magazine. She was also a featured artist at the 2007 Arkansas Heritage and Blues Festival (formerly known as the King Biscuit Blues Festival), in addition to headlining many other blues venues and festivals all over the United States and Europe.
