Review by Brian Mansfield
Joe Ely's first album came out while country's outlaw movement was in full swing, but Joe Ely took it one better. This is a roots-rocking country album with tunes by Jimmie Dale Gilmore ("Treat Me Like a Saturday Night") and Butch Hancock ("She Never Spoke Spanish to Me," "If You Were a Bluebird") that deserve the near-classic status their cult of fans have bestowed on them.
Tracklist:
I Had My Hopes Up High (Joe Ely) ERE Music ASCAP
Mardi Gras Waltz (Joe Ely) ERE Music ASCAP
She Never Spoke Spanish To Me (Butch Hancock) Rainlight Music ASCAP
Gambler's Bride (Joe Ely) ERE Music ASCAP
Suckin' A Big Bottle Of Gin (Butch Hancock) Rainlight Music ASCAP
Tennessee is not the state I'm In (Butch Hancock) Rainlight Music ASCAP
If You Were A Bluebird (Butch Hancock) Rainlight Music ASCAP
Treat Me Like A Saturday Night (Jimmie Gilmore) ERE Music ASCAP
All My Love (Joe Ely) ERE Music ASCAP
Johnnys Blues (Joe Ely) ERE Music ASCAP
enjoy and share :)
