Description:
`Happy Songs From Rattlesnake Gulch is a way-cool collection of some of Ely`s best originals, recorded over the years at his home studio outside Austin. As always, the musicians play with an ear for the ages, led by someone who may have already seen it all, but is still out there looking around the next corner for what`s next. Whether with his cohorts Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the Flatlanders or out prowling stages on his own, Joe Ely remains a riveting presence wherever he goes.` -- Bill Bentley, Studio City Sun (CBUJ ENT)
