Our Take

Welcome to the wild world of Joe Ely, where the music is loud, the energy is high, and the fun never stops. Down On The Drag - Live Shots is a thrilling rollercoaster of an album, capturing the essence of Ely's electric live performances with precision and passion.

From the first rollicking guitar riff to the final thunderous applause, Ely and his band deliver a masterclass in rock 'n' roll energy and showmanship. The title track, "Down On The Drag," kicks things off with a bang, setting the stage for the high-octane ride that follows.

Ely's gravelly vocals are a perfect match for the rough-and-tumble sound of the music, adding a layer of authenticity and grit to each and every track. Songs like "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta" and "Fingernails" showcase Ely's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of life on the road and the characters he encounters along the way.

But it's not just Ely's vocals that shine on this album - the musicianship on display is top-notch, with searing guitar solos and thunderous drum fills that will have you tapping your foot and banging your head in no time.

In conclusion, Down On The Drag - Live Shots is a must-listen for any fan of good ol' fashioned rock 'n' roll. So grab a beer, turn up the volume, and let Joe Ely take you on a wild ride through the heart of Texas music scene.
