[Octave]

Huggy, that stuff brings me back to roller skating parties. Blowing the dust off the needle!

[Neutral Corner]

Well give me a shot of that octane juice
There ain't no cure for the honky-tonk blues
If they come up with something, I'll develop an immunity
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me

 

[Neutral Corner]

Someone mention roller rink rock?

Someone mention roller rink rock?

With Seger's good friend Glenn Frey on backing vocals.

 

[Huggy]

Well give me a shot of that octane juice
There ain't no cure for the honky-tonk blues
If they come up with something, I'll develop an immunity
And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me

God, Joe Ely is so great.

 

[Neutral Corner]

You know the Flatlanders? Joe Ely, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, and Butch Hancock, here covering Hancock's "Dallas".

1981. I was through eating lunch and killing time till I went back to work and walked into the record store across the street. The guy that worked there knew me a little. I go in, he looks at me, grins, and says "You'll buy this record." Drops the needle on Joe's "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta". First track was the title track, and the second was "Dallas". I walked out of the store carrying it. I've seen him maybe a dozen times going back to the early 80's. Always a great show. There's a ton of good live Joe on Youtube if you feel like taking a dive.

I love my Texas singer-songwriters.

Live Shots is such a shirtkicking live album. I would love to have the chance to see him live but I can't remember the last time he came through the Toronto area.

I saw him here in Birmingham, must have been, sheeze, 2000 or so. We had a truly excellent three day music festival here called City Stages. It ran for 11 years. Six or seven major stages plus a dance tent and a storyteller's corner. He was on the Americana stage, but he also played an acoustic set at noon in a courtyard of a downtown office building to open the festival. We're sitting on the steps 30-40 feet in front of him.

Joe comes out, and he's got this guy with him I hadn't seen before. He had the full Stevie Ray Vaughn black and silver flamenco look going. I look at the wife, kinda nod at him. "Can't say I really care for the SRV ripoff." So when Joe introduces the band. "This is the new guy. His name is Taya. He's a flamenco guitarist from Seville, Spain." Yeah, she about busted a gut laughing at me.

Great set, though.

I lived in Houston from '80 to '91, and I saw him in the small clubs and dance halls around town.

 

[Mr._Graybeard]

Of the trio I'm partial to Jimmie Dale Gilmore. He and Dave Alvin were touring together a couple years ago. Jon Langford (see post #17) opened. heck of a show.
