This two-for-one disc, remastered from the original tapes, combines
two of Joe Ely's very best recorded works; in fact, Honky Tonk
Masquerade was picked by Rolling Stone as one of the best albums of
the 1970s. The energy and intensity delivered here remain true to
his stage shows, and those who have seen him know that he takes
nothing back to the dressing room with him, as it is all left on
the stage. The band has that tightness that only comes from years
of constant touring and playing to all kinds of crowds. This is
roots music before it was a genre, heightened by the energy of the
musicians' believing in the music they are playing. The songwriting
is exemplary, as the songs are primarily by Ely, Butch Hancock, and
Jimmie Dale. The latter two are known mainly as songwriters, and
have begun to get some recognition for their own discs. Early
versions of the songs hold up to later versions, which is the sign
of a strong song. There is a beautiful rendition of "If You Were a
Bluebird," which inspired the title of an Emmylou Harris LP and
became a big hit for her. This collection of rocking roots country
music from one of the hardest workers around gives ample indication
of the work to come. The energy heard here comes from a combination
of dedication to craft, good songwriting, and the desire to give it
all each and every time. At the same time, this disc contains some
of the best work this performer has done. Three cheers to BGO for
combining these two previously hard to find discs. ~ Bob Gottlieb
