Seventeen years after the release of his 2009 critically-acclaimed debut album of his own songs, 'A SEAT AT MY TABLE', Elio Pace delivers this stunning follow-up album, 'I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE, KID'.
 
​Elio's beautiful and eclectic writing, both musically and lyrically, takes you on a glorious 45-minute journey where, throughout the 10 tracks, his love of Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, Willie Nelson, Huey Lewis, Stevie Wonder, Rufus Wainwright, Neil Diamond, ABBA, Delbert McClinton, The Divine Comedy, Aaron Neville and Elton John (and others) is evident for all to hear.
 
​Featuring guest performances from Albert Lee, Tessa Niles, Ray Cooper and Paul Jones, as well as his own late father, Umberto Pace, and with Elio's phenomenal band and singers, this sensational studio album sets a new standard for true independent artists. This is how new music can sound when a creative musician with a clear understanding of who they are and what they want, follows their own path without any interference from 'the business'. Pure music.
 
​10/10. On merit – and if there is any justice in the world – Elio Pace's album, 'I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE, KID', should be a global smash and a Grammy and Oscar winning album. Let's see what happens!
