The collection of songs about and inspired by motorized travel was curated by Ely, who in the mid-1970s swept off the flat plains of the Llano Estacado of West Texas like a whirling tornado, fronting a legendary band that was too rock for country, and too country for rock. The wild, wide-open honky-tonk roadhouse sound of the Joe Ely Band gave their hometown of Lubbock its first music hero since Buddy Holly. The project stitches together recordings made at Spur Studios, his home recording facility outside of Austin, over several decades, assisted by musician\/neighbors Joel Guzman on accordion, keyboardist Bill Guinn, singer Eddie Beethoven, and fiddler Richard Bowden. Last year at The Zone in Dripping Springs, Texas, Jeff Plankenhorn added his guitar to three tracks and engineer Pat Manske, who mastered Driven to Drive, added percussion.

Completed during COVID-19 lockdowns with the help of longtime friend and collaborator Lloyd Maines, the record finds the iconic Texas trio of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Butch Hancock in classic form, serving up a rollicking collection of twang-fueled, harmony-laden performances full of wry humor and raw heartbreak. While a few of the songs here are never-before-heard originals, the vast majority of the tracklist consists of vintage tunes the band picked up during their 50-year career, some stretching as far back as the group’s earliest performances in the honkytonks around Lubbock, TX, where you might have spotted Willie Nelson or Townes Van Zandt in the audience on any given night. These days, you may be more likely to find avowed fans like the Coen Brothers or David Byrne in the crowd, but the spirit of The Flatlanders remains the same: everything’s better with friends. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rack 'Em Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50474698637643,"sku":"1122362","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474695950667,"sku":"1122366","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c5651bb5-81ec-40ed-b394-7ef9193af6b1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727437355"},{"product_id":"flatland-lullaby","title":"Flatland Lullaby","description":"\u003cp\u003eNever-before-released children's album by Texas country\/roots\/rock-n-roll icon Joe Ely. The album has been in production since 1984 and is being released for the first time. Joe Ely has released a whole lotta records over the last 50 years, but not even half as many albums as he’s made. But happily for fans the world over, ever since 2007, Ely’s made a concerted effort to release a steady stream of pearls from that vault on his own Rack ’Em Records label. And this October — the same month as Ely’s induction into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame — he’s finally sharing what might well be the mother of them all: \u003ci\u003eFlatland Lullaby.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, to clarify: \u003ci\u003eFlatland Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e is not necessarily what anyone, least of all Ely himself, would ever call a “big\" record. So go ahead and exhale if for a moment there you were thinking it was going to be, say, some kind of previously never-even-heard-about, full-on collaboration with the Clash, or even another treasure chest full of long-lost Flatlanders gold along the lines of 2012’s \u003ci\u003eThe Odessa Tapes\u003c\/i\u003e. That said, though, \u003ci\u003eFlatland Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e really is a gift objectively more special by far than anything else released from Ely’s archives to date, because this one comes straight off the very top shelf of the family reserve. It’s the kind of passion project that could have only ever come into focus when the initial target audience extended no farther than the man’s nearest and dearest — namely, his daughter Marie. “It’s basically a little lullaby album that I did for her when she was 2 or 3 years old,” says Ely \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rack 'Em Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476909265227,"sku":"1169133","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/98ae66c7-4576-43ee-a696-0178f083efef_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727464954"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_3472b80a_thumbnail_4096_ab4ca6af-ec54-4a8c-b5a1-5220525143d0.jpg?v=1726552099","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/rack-em-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
