Description:
"Joe Ely is a masterful writer, and much of his material shows it. To hear him liken his love to "the breeze that blows from Corpus Christi" ("Because of the Wind") or deny his pride without melodrama or even melancholy ("I`ll Be Your Fool") is to understand the space between Honky Tonk Masquerade and almost anything else that has emerged recently from the microwave oven of Nashville." -- Nick Tosches, rollingstone.com. Track Listings: Cornbread Moon/Because of the Wind/Boxcars/Jericho (Your Walls Must Come Tumbling Down)/Tonight I Think I`m Gonna Go Downtown/Honky Tonk Masquerade/I`ll Be Your Fool/Fingernails/West Texas Waltz/Honky Tonkin`.
