Our Take

Ah, Joe Ely, the Texan troubadour who has been spinning tales of honky-tonk heroics since before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye. With his self-titled debut album, Ely proves that he's not just another cowboy hat-wearing crooner looking to make a quick buck. No, sir, Ely is the real deal, a rough-and-tumble raconteur who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in the name of good ol' American music.

From the first twang of the guitar on "I Had My Hopes Up High" to the rollicking honky-tonk rhythms of "Honky Tonk Masquerade," Ely takes listeners on a wild ride through the dusty backroads of the Lone Star State. His storytelling is as sharp as a Bowie knife, cutting through the bullshit and getting straight to the heart of the matter. Whether he's spinning yarns about love gone wrong or celebrating the simple pleasures of a rowdy night out on the town, Ely's lyrics hit like a punch to the gut, leaving you reeling and begging for more.

Backed by a band of seasoned musicians who know their way around a steel guitar or two, Ely's songs are brought to life with a raw, unbridled energy that is impossible to resist. So grab yourself a cold one, kick back, and let Joe Ely take you on a journey through the heart and soul of Texas music. You won't regret it, partner.
