Joe Ely's live sets have long held mythical status - first around Texas, eventually around the world. Muscular and adrenaline-fueled, Ely's powerful and offbeat mix of rock, country, folk, and Tex-Mex influences never fail to invigorate and surprise an audience. Live at Antone's captures Ely in his element - onstage at a legendary Austin roadhouse - with a band featuring such longtime Ely compatriots as Jesse Taylor (guitar) and Lloyd Maines (pedal steel). Armed with an ace blend of original songs and alt-country classics (from the likes of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Robert Earl Keen, and Butch Hancock), Live at Antone's is the definitive Ely concert experience.
