Beautiful piece, Michael. I first learned about Joe Ley when REM, Robyn Hitchcock, and Billy Bragg covered Dallas in 1991. I was fortunate to have a couple older music head friends point me to Joe's music.
I have in excess of 2500 CD’s, outside of Chris Rea,Doug Sahm and Roxy Music… Joe Ely is next. His travels through music is diverse, unique and captivating.
I listened to him in the 70’s off and on but when I heard “Dallas”, one night at around midnight”… I never let go of his music and lyrics.
December has always been difficult for some of the best artists.
