"Gonna bring out my good friend Joe Ely down and play with us,
come on up....out of a great city of songwriters, the talent that´s come
out of Texas, Joe´s one of my very favorites, man.."
Bruce also contributed to the studio recording of this song providing back-up vocals, also on '
I’m a thousand miles from home' ( the album was called 'Letter To Laredo' ). Springsteen travelled to Austin around spring 1995 and joined Ely in studio to record his parts.
Joe Elly had occasionally 17 performances together with Bruce Springsteen : Joe Ely (born February 9, 1947, Amarillo, TX) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist whose music touches on honky-tonk, Texas Country, Tex-Mex and rock and roll.
