Product Description
From Amazon.com
Joe Ely's self-titled (and currently out-of-print) 1977 solo debut, imbued with his stark, West Texas flatlands milieu, hit many like a Southwest tornado. Since then, Joe Ely has become an admired cult figure who epitomized alt country and Americana years before those terms existed. Each decade, he's been captured onstage, beginning with 1980's Live Shots and 1990's Live at Liberty Lunch, making 2000 the right time for number three. These muscular performances, recorded at Austin's famous roots-music club, show Ely's dauntless energy undiminished by time. Roaring performances of "Me and Billy the Kid," "Everybody Got Hammered," "All Just to Get to You," and his ebullient, gender-bent satire "Nacho Mama" make these old favorites seem new and fresh. Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "Dallas" revisits Ely's days in the Flatlanders with Gilmore and Butch Hancock, and his comparable good taste extends to his masterful interpretations of Tom Russell's cockfight epic "Gallo del Cielo" and Robert Earl Keen's "The Road Goes On Forever." Few artists with similar mileage can maintain their edge in the studio, much less onstage. It's no surprise Ely is one of that select group. --Rich Kienzle

Ely is at his best live!,
By
This review is from: Live At Antones (Audio CD)
I find Ely's live work to be his best. This album is outstanding, featuring a tight band. Some of these songs (Gallo del Cielo; Thousand Miles) will break your heart; others (Road Goes On Forever) will inspire you, and others will rock yer socks off.This album, along with Live at Liberty Lunch, are Ely's best.

hurricane joe takes off,

This review is from: Live At Antones (Audio CD)
I have a few of Joe's live albums (live shots, and liberty lunch). This was my 1st and still my favorite. Crack a beer(something cheap not that import or mini-brew stuff) and put this one on. Texas twang and a gut busting performance. My reviews tend not to go song by song so skip to the next one for that. These guys are having a good time playing these tunes and you will listening to it. The band is great and someone on the thing is playing some fantastic guitar, sorry but I didn't read the booklet to see who it was. I will say "All Just to get to you" and the closer "Oh boy" will make the dead tap a foot.

Great Texas Music!,

This review is from: Live At Antones (Audio CD)
This is a very good live album. Most of the cuts are available on other CD's, but this one captures some of the excitement that Joe generates in person. Very enjoyable!
