2: Producer Amy Salit interviews singer/songwriter, guitarist JOE ELY. He's been called the "underappreciated American rock 'n' roll legend." This country rocker hails from Lubbock, Texas and has been recording and playing music for about 20 years, and has released nine albums. He began his career playing more traditional country but now leans more toward the country-rockin' blues that has become a distinctive Texas sound. His latest album is "Love and Danger," (MCA/Nashville). Another reviewer says of ELY's music, "it's got the dynamic locomotion of rock, the righteous sassiness of blues, the narrative twang of country, and the hook-filled melodic sheen of pop."
