Musta Notta Gotta Lotta

Joe Ely

From his early-1970s beginnings with seminal country band the Flatlanders, Joe Ely has seen substantial critical acclaim but only moderate commercial success. His music, which is often described as a bridge between early-'70s country-rock and '90s "New Country," is full of integrity and equipped with a certain timeless quality that marks only the finest rock songwriters. Ely is an acclaimed live performer as well. His style and approach may never produce hits, but his music speaks strongly for itself.
