New Single: Are You Good Enough
Check out the new Ellen Foley single at the American Songwriter site!
“Are You Good Enough?” so rocks right out of the gate that it is thrilling. And this thrill expanded even more as I listened to it the first time. And also the next thousand-plus times. It is the kind of rock and roll we’ve missed: essential and pure. - Paul Zollo, American Songwriter
