“Doing no-frills traditional country is tougher than it sounds. Many times, musicians who try come off as staid, corny, self-important or reclusive. With her indelible melodies, warm voice and spare, winningly plain-spoken lyrics, Pinto Bennett protégé Tracy Morrison gets it just right.” Ben Schultz – Boise Weekly

Gary Eller has played music all his life, and especially loves story songs,and event ballads. Story songs give a view of history from the bottom up, and that’s a view that’s different from a professional historians view from 30,000 ft looking down.
“Some people call me a musical archaeologist. I love the thrill of the search of the hunt. Ah Ha! I can’t believe I just found that. That’s as much fun as playing the music to me.
Many of the things I’ve found have been in hanging folders in libraries, large and small. Anything after 1923, to me, is a modern song. Radio came to Idaho. Mass recordings were available to ordinary people. At that point, nobody had collected Idaho songs as they had in the other 47 states in the country. I find a song that’s obscure. I’m after the ones that are in danger of being lost. And then I write booklets with songs recorded as part of the booklet. And then those get preserved in major library, university libraries here in Idaho and the Library of Congress.”
