“Talk To Yourself” is a song that is quite poignant and it truly honors our mothers’ words of wisdom. “These are tough times. Hateful words circle like buzzards and self-doubt can settle in the soul if you’re not careful. Talk to yourself like good mama would,” he remarked.
This song delivers something we all need right now, encouragement, and a positive outlook for the new year. The latest single begins with a mellow guitar introduction, which is reminiscent of Chris Stapleton’s Jazzmaster on “Tennessee Whiskey.”
He is joined by American Idol alumna Melinda Doolittle. It was produced by Nashville singer-songwriter and guitarist Gabe Burdulis, and it features such instrumentation as drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, pedal steel, and keyboards.
Elliott’s songs have hit the Billboard Top 40 including Neal McCoy’s “Every Man for Himself” and Chris Ledoux’s “Making Ends Meet” with Capitol Records. Elliott was also the winner of the “Kerrville New Folk award”; moreover, he has been a staff writer with Bluewater Music Group, Maypop Music Group (Alabama), as well as Sony Music Publishing.
