Description:

Joe Ely is one of America's great singer-songwriters, often called the "Springsteen of the southwest", but he's much more than that: he's a poet, a storyteller, and one of the last in a long line of Texas troubadors who rode the rails and set his experiences to music.
In this hour-long special, Ely returns to his native Texas, singing his most beloved songs and sharing stories from the road. KUT's David Brown hosts.
