NEW VIDEO !!! PAUL ANSELL RECORDING IN NASHVILLE !!

Paul Ansell & No 9 "Live at Sun" now available at ..
Beyond categories, the music cannot and should not be pigeonholed into one genre. On each album you will find a mix of stuff and styles, many self-penned songs, many cool covers of neglected great songs from the past, and also well known songs, re-worked, and given a fresh makeover. A mix of country, rockabilly, blues, soul and rock n roll, keeping true to the music that most influenced him. THE GREATS ALWAYS MIXED IT UP. From Elvis to Ray Charles, Sam Cooke to Charlie Rich, The Rolling Stones to Eminem - they all play around and rework songs. And that's the Paul Ansell vibe.
No 9 were formed back in 1993. They have recorded ten albums, the latest being LIVE AT SUN, recorded in Memphis in 2004. Paul Ansell's songs and band have been in the forefront of the European rockabilly/rock n roll scene for well over ten years, and Paul takes particular pride in the fact that his music is played alongside his idols by the DJs and club owners, at the clubs and venues that feature this brand of music. Ansell and No 9 have headlined many of the top Rock n Roll festivals both in England and abroad - Hemsby on several occasions, Viva Las Vegas, Green Bay, The Rockabilly Rave, Turnhout, The Americana Festival, The Ponderosa Stomp, and many, many other shows.
Paul has sung at venues such as London's Jazz Cafe, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Forum, The 100 Club, and Dingwalls, to name just a few. Although a fine songwriter and performer in his own right, Paul's biggest achievment was to meet and play alongside his guitar hero Scotty Moore, right hand man to Elvis Presley and the man who played on his greatest ever recordings. This relationship has resulted in many wonderful chances to appear and play alongside other all time greats, culminating in the Universal Films TRIBUTE TO THE KING DVD featuring some of the all time legends of rock paying respect to Scotty's legacy, and Paul is on vocals on several Elvis tunes alongside such luminaries as Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman etc.

"Now follow the recipe closely. Take a most talented singer-songwriter, combine him with some of the finest Nashville pickers ever, add a sincere rock n roll heart and leave to simmer. What you get is one of the best original CDs to come my way this year.

Quality singing + quality musicianship + quality songs + quality production = one hell of a fine CD."
- Now Dig This review of "Love Conquers All".

"Paul Ansell has never been a respecter of genres. He plays rockin' country, rock'n'roll, blues inflected material and ballads. The only constant is the quality of the output. Whatever he does, he does it well."
- UK Rock review of "Love Conquers All.

"No. 9 is the best band I have seen in a long time." - - Bob Moore (Bassist for Elvis)

"One of the hottest bands on the European circuit" - Shaun Mather, Rockabilly Hall of Fame

"Every so often, very rarely, I come across an album that really rocks me back on my heels. The first time as I recall was with the release in the late ‘70s of Presley’s “Sun Sessions”... Now a few years down the line Paul Ansell’s “Live at Sun” has done it again." - The House of Bop

Paul Ansell's ‘Number Nine’ ... is renowned for "Smokin, country, rockin blues" and it shows. He has an edge that makes you want to get up & dance." Elvis Information Network

"Ansell’s vocals were dead-on" - Elvisblog

"Although Paul wasn't trying in any way to mimic Elvis, the whole sound was uncannily like those early Elvis records." - Caroline Rockers

"a special mention must go to Paul Ansell who sang the early Sun Singles and made the hairs stand on my neck." - Elvis-a-Presley.com

"Paul Ansell has a fantastic voice also and some of his songs sound so much like Elvis that if you close your eyes the King is there with you! " - Amazon.com

"Scotty Moore and his band treated the audience to a look at the Rockabilly days of Sun Studios with Paul Ansell expertly handling the singing styles of Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison" - Art Tipaldi - Blueswax

"Paul Ansell gives a terrific show as always, oozing star quality while reworking pop standards like Passenger and Red Light into stomping neo-billy anthems." - Bill Smoke, Rockabilly Rave 2005
Influences: Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Farron Young, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Eddie Bond, Solomon Burke, Merle Haggard, etc, etc.
Sounds Like: All of the above .... and then some.
