A rebel trailblazer in the world of blues and rock, Ellen was one of the first women to choose slide guitar as her instrument of choice, even when everyone around her suggested otherwise. She would lose out on lucrative record contracts because she refused to conform to what managers and music producers believed an up-and-coming artist should look and sound like. Goddess of Slide is a personal and heartfelt story of courage, survival and justice.
