“Honky Tonk Masquerade” by Joe Ely - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1978 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

Joe Strummer was a massive fan. There's a slinky allure with “Boxcars”, I'll give him that, but that's about yer lot. Dumb-ass country like this, who needs it? Forget the Joe-Joe alliance.
