Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine (2024)

Goddess of Slide shines a light on the often-overlooked Canadian artist Ellen McIlwaine, who bravely carved her niche in the male-dominated realm of slide guitar. After arriving in Greenwich Village with little to her name, she quickly rose to prominence, sharing the stage with icons such as Odetta, Richie Havens, and Mississippi John Hurt. However, it was her electrifying performances alongside Jimi Hendrix over six unforgettable nights that truly transformed her career and solidified her legacy as a pioneering force in music history.
