The Flatlanders, "Treasure Of Love"

The Flatlanders are Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, and Jimme Dale Gilmore. This is their first album in a long time, mostly covers.

Now that's the GOOD kind of country music.

Me too. First thing I heard of his was the "Live Shots" album, from a tour opening for The Clash. (Joe recently posted some pictures of himself and The Clash at the Alamo several decades ago.) Still enjoy that album. Had a girlfriend once who was crazy about Ely's "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta" album. "Lord of the Highway" and "Dig All Night" are favorites of mine.

Here's a nice live set from 2010, with David Grissom on guitar.

Yup, Grissom got his start with Ely. (well, he did play for Lucinda first, for a short while, but he credits Ely for his growth as a musician into what he is today). Then Mellencamp stole him from Ely (with Ely's blessing).

Grissom is a fave of mine. I'm kind of a "disciple" lol.

I've read that David toured with the Allman Bros. Would like to hear some of that music.
