Hey - funny you say this! I am really not sure about the histories of the people she made that album with, but to my ear it very definitely sounds like its influenced by the Phil Spector / John Lennon stuff of the early 70s. The arrangments are very Lennonish and the production is very reminiscent of the stuff Spector was doing with John on records like 'Rock And Roll'.
What's more, I read somewhere that Ian Hunter (co producer and keyboardist on Night Out) was now in or was in in the past Ringo Starr's all starr band. I havent yet bothered reading into it to see if it's true / the same guy but it would be interesting if it was. Small world.
Good to see there are others who love Ellen's stuff! I'm just about to go off and check out the link sherrie posted up - sounds great.
