Joe Ely "The Road Goes on Forever"

- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- Joe Ely does the Robert Earl Keen song. The Road Goes on Forever. There's a verse missing in the song. Not my fault. The verse goes like this.
Sonny was a loner older than the rest.
He was going in the Navy but he couldn't pass the test.
So he hung around town and sold a litte pot.
But the law got wind of Sonny and one day he got caught.
But he was back in business when they set he free again.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends!

Hmmmm .... I've watched 8-10 different bands perform this song, and Joe Ely is the BEST....
Absolutely Joe Ely performs this song BEST…. He even beats The Highwaymen “a tough act to follow”….. and the road goes on forever but party never ends!
@@weepy1001 YEP!
One of the great story songs in history. The Ely version is probably the greatest because of his rock and roll interpretation. But the REK version is pretty damn good as is the version by Johnny, Waylon, Kris and the Red Headed Stranger. You are allowed to love them all.
I do actually. Couldn't agree more!
It's hard to screw up a great song. It can be done, but it takes effort and ill-intent.
I'm a heavy metal guy, my dad turned me on to this a few days ago,, and I cant get it outa my head.. Awsome song...
If you like this version, check out the Highwaymens version. .
Yes it is
Tell your dad he has excellent taste!
Metal rules, but it's a good quality to also be able to appreciate other genres of music too, or at least the best songs from other genres - like this one.
Joe Ely is one of the best fucking singer/songwriters in the business. I swear the water in Texas produces amazing artists like no other but when they made Joe they broke the mold. This man is one of the kindest and unpretentious people I've ever met. When we seen him in Iowa City he let me and my wife sit back stage while he performed just like we were long lost friends or family! I think Letters to Laredo and Live @ Antones are two of the best albums I've ever owned. No one spins a tale the way that he does and I've seen Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, J.C. Mellencamp and even Neil Young but they all fall short in comparison. Who else can sing a song about a chicken ( Gallo del Cielo ) and make you cry? To my knowledge there is no one. Every time I see him he always has time for me to chat, get a picture, whatever! NASCAR drivers don't even do that anymore. When I play out with my band we always cover a couple of Joe's tunes and the crowd always loves them. I'm not just a starstruck groupie either as I was a union stagehand for 14 years and I've seen a lot of acts onstage. Joe Ely is the cream of the crop in my eyes and I will be more than a fan for life. Thank you Joe for coming into my life and letting me tag along. If you have not seen Joe you are sabotaging your life. We love you Joe!!
Excellent comment. I wholeheartedly endorse your words! Absolutely right, Texas seems to sprout earthy song writers like weeds. We have all sorts of independent artists doing country that are not bad either.
Met Joe in 71 when the Air Force sent me to Lubbock. After all these years, I must say... he is probably the best performer I've ever seen. We were not friends, just acquaintances. But he and Butch Hancock turned me on to the first house I rented there when they moved out of it. Jimmy Dale Gilmore lived next door. Didn't realize anything at the time, I was only 19 at the time. How to explain the influence. Keep Rocking Joe!!
I'm gonna burn that down and you over there switch the mail so I get the check this time. Later
I missed all this due to my 30 years in the Navy but I remember Joe Ely when he was 13 years old. Had no idea he could sang like that. He is great. Makes me proud to be from Lubbock.
Ely did a great job on this one. lived sw of lubbock 62 miles
62 miles is "down the road a piece"... LOL Yep
30 yrs? when did you join
... 25 years for me ... retired in 94 HMCS(SW) ... the road goes on forever and the party never ends
Thank you for your service 💖 much appreciated from one die hard American to another I would assume!
Best rendition of this Badass Song!! 👌
Should be a movie!!
back in the 70's he would play at this club across the street from my work. go there after work. after the show we would sit in the vip lounge and drink all night. great guy. good times
He's a good old american treasure who deserves more recognition than he has gotten over the years if u ask me
Good times back then
The best song. And I also took the fall for a girl named Cherie. She was beautiful.
Best version of a badss song!!!
He put the Clash edge on it. Jussayn 🤣
I saw Joe Ely in 76 or so at The Paramount in Austin. This is how I remember it !
The road goes on forever, Joe. Thanks, big dog. Peace. Out.
One hell of a combination...Joe and Robert. WOW!
Best story song ever. Period.
Red dirt girl? just sayin'...
you right!
I started my first job in Lubbock Texas, and ole Joe was playing for beers and tips. He cut his teeth and built a following on open mike nights at the Main Street Saloon across from Texas Tech University. If ya get the chance, see if ya can get him to sing 7 Bridges Road acapella... outstanding! good memories. I'm glad to see he's done well for himself.
Swa Joe and Jerry Jeff back in June, what a great show of 2 old outlaws.
My favorite Joe Ely song
Love anything Joe Ely
Best version by far
They know him in Texas. Great performer!
Saw Jow Ely and J Boy Adams play many times in Lubbock Texas.. 78 and 1979. Silver Dollar Cafe.
Love his music. Have only seen him in concert once and he was AWESOME!
Awesome show at the Belmont in Austin Texas last night. 06/06/13 He still brings it.
How's life treating you Larry?
I'll always cherish the memories of Austin the 90's. Got to see Joe open for Lyle Lovett at City Coliseum on New Years Eve 1990 with a kick-ass girl named Shelly. One of those nights that stays with me (mostly). Good times.
@Englishbobwv I can't allow people to call Joe Ely 'nothing special'. Joe is a damned fine singer and songwriter, a great one in my mind. Fine if you like the REK or Highwaymen version, but Joe does a great job. And Joe;s written many a tune better than this one, that he doesn't have to worry about who does a better version of a tune.
Joe IS a damned fine singer and songwriter like you say. First heard him and met him in 1973 in Lubbock when I went to TT. He would play at a place out the Tahoka highway. He played country on a big box guitar with his band. We would drink beer and dance as long as he'd play. Met him again in 82 when I was at UT, he was playing some club in Austin and then he played Gruene Hall in New Braunfels. He rocked the place till after 2am. His band was absolutely the best.
Don't know who would be dumb enough to say that
Joe Ely, when you Google "Real Troubador" he should be first, simply badass this guy.
Fantastic! I love it. I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan and Joe Ely is like Springsteen's more folksy cousin. Love it.
Reminds me of Steve Earl.
I love how the lead guitar player throws in bits of “Third Stone from the Sun” 😁❤️! But Joe Ely lives inside this song - didn’t write it, but made it his own ❤!
Great Joe.
Saw Joe and Jeryy Jeff back in June. Grate show of 2 old outlaws.
Always my fav....Not fade away close behind. Lucky to see Joe at the Continental Club in the early eighties...80's are a little foggy at this point. SRV played regularly on Monday nights...cost $ 3 though
Magical. *Alway's one of my favourite artist's & songs. 👍🏻
The Road Goes On Forever .... Awesome !! Cheers ..
We love you Joe!!!!!!
I enjoyed the lead and bass playing very much
I wonder if the similarity to "Me & Billy the Kid" ever makes Joe smile?
Great version! Thanks Joe and band!!
Love the song "The Road goes on Forever" and I don't really care whose it is...looking fw to the release date of new CD next month! I will buy it the day it is released!
Wow you make a good point in your comment, Hello Barbara how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
this ballad freakin kicks ass would love to see him live ill be watchin for him here in central fla
Well,did you ever get to see him?
Saw him play it last Saturday 3-16-13 at The Mint in Los Angeles.
I like the Robert Earl Keen version. It has more passion and its a lot fun to dance to.
Robert Earl wrote it but I prefer Joe's version. No fight here, just greatness all around.
Joe called Robert Earl the world's greatest songwriter or something like that. Or maybe that this was a perfect song. I'd agree with the latter.
Joe Rocks, got to see him once in Austin acoustic with Paul Thorn and Ruthie Davis, great show. A in the round show on my way to El Paso...............
Great song......excellent video...........fantastic camera work!
Joe, I did't meet him til 71. AF sent me to Lubbock. I'm not "from" Lubbock but I swear to God I grew up there.
I was there in 73 and went and saw him play at some dance hall out the Tahoka highway. BYOB place. He was great.
Music does not get any better than this.👍🤩
Best version
Saw him @ I-Fest in Houston, was a great show !
This is a great song regardless of who sings it,,, I personally don't judge, I enjoy!!!!
Fantastic!
Love this song
Thanks for the info. Ely looks great and sounds even better. As the song says, 'the road goes on forever...and the party never ends!'. ;)
I am from Texas after all.
You to see you in Houston. Now I live in Bowling Green, KY and you're playing here at Warehouse at Mt. Victor in seven hours!
At the rate you're going Sweet Angie, you'll be seeing Joe in NYC with me in about a year or two,lol. All clean humor my friend! I must check out this dude Shake Russell. My friend said he was a Texas legend in the 1970's. Thanks for posting! Peace!
Shake Russell IS a Texas legend! I used to see him at the Texas Opry House in Houston. I worked there. Saw all the Texas legend songwriters singing their songs! What a great job for a music lovin' small town 21 year old! Lovin' them all today as a senior citizen!
I never knew REK didn’t write this song. Joe Ely is the writer.
No...
I'm glad guys are out there doing REK stuff getting REK some credit, but the REK version is THE BEST. His voice fits the song completely.
Best is subjective,best is who YOU like best
Vin Diesel plays a helluva guitar!! Lol
awesome!
😎 thanks
fuck awesome song
I love this song but they left out Sonny's intro verse on this performance for some reason:
Sonny was a loner
older than the rest.
He was going in the navy
but he couldn't pass the test.
So he hung around town
and sold a little pot.
Till the law caught wind of Sonny
and one day he got caught.
But he was back in business
when they set him free again.
The road goes on forever
and the party never ends!
(more or less)
awesome
Wish I could get this album or song on vinyl
@@satmoore3381 they never pressed love and danger on vinyl
One of the most badass songs of all time. Joe does it better than Robert Earl
Who is that playin lead?
Waylon Jennings never did a coin flip to lose his seat on that plane on Feb 2nd 1959 The Big Bopper took Waylons seat due to he was sick ...and needed to get some rest as well ....and do some laundry .....so I am here to verify Jethro 719 ...and you know what I thought that was Kenny Greenberg he used to have long curly locks ..
The guy is so much better than Bruce Springsteen
Well not really but can pretend
You have that shit correct, sir.
F n a!
Road goes on forever!
@moominpic I think the guy was being a smart ass. I hope so anyway. Buddy Holly was long gone before Joe started playing. Joe does have a connection to Buddy though. They grew up in the same area and Joe took guitar lessons in the same house that Buddy grew up in. He also met Waylon Jennings who was a member of Buddy's band, The Crickets. In fact, Waylon lost a coin flip to Richie Valens which put Waylon on the bus and Richie on the plane. Ironic how losing a coin flip works out.
There's a band in Phoenix called KrossThred that does a SMOKIN' version of this.
Waylon Jennings never did a coin flip to lose his seat on that plane on Feb 2nd 1959 The Big Bopper took Waylons seat due to he was sick ...and needed to get some rest as well ....and do some laundry .....so I am here to verify Jethro 719
@jimmydacat
How 'bout that. I thought it was Greenberg. I only know about him through Ashley Cleveland. Never knew he played with Ely.
Flew to Austin from Pa in September '09 and saw him at the Union Ballroom at UT. Walked over from the Tech game! What a night! He had his old band back together - McClarty, Grissom, Pettit. Who is the guitarist in this clip?
Recommended by some old guy on Bloomberg 1/3/22. ha!
I say KISS and Cold Gin Time Again!
Though he responsible for introducing it to the world, Joe no longer performs it.
Got to do some coke with the band in Dallas!!!
maybe but Joe is a nicer man.
@Jethro719 after further review I guess I should correct something...Waylon was not involved in the coin flip, that was omeone else who flipped Valens for the seat. Waylon voluntarily gave up his seat to The Big Bopper, who had been sick. Still, irony so thick .....
Joe Ely was never in Buddy Holley's band. He was 11 years old when Holley died. This video obviously was not shot on a cellphone, what with all the multiple cameras, some clearly on-stage.
I'll have me some of this.
Ni I I I I. Ice Maaan
Heck yeah!
Joe Ely was never in Buddy Holly's band. Kinda doubt you remember that. . .
@brdwonder I hope you're just joking about remembering Joe in Buddy Holly's band. Joe would have been about 12 years old when Buddy died. I don't recall any 12 year olds in Buddy's band. Maybe you're thinking of Waylon Jennings, who was also from Lubbock, TX.
Nice! When and where, jimmydacat?
@brdwonder
Um, Joe Ely would have been 12 years old when Buddy Holly died?
Is that Kenny Greenberg on guitar?
😢😂🎉
with a single shot 4.10 ..
That'll do the trick ..n quick..* )
Just curious why you're here as you have no posts and few followers. Or maybe you've given up or are dead ...or something in between. Or maybe, happy. Hoping for the best!
@brdwonder I'm curious, I thought Joe Ely was born in 1947. How did he play with Buddy Holly? No disrespect, genuine question. I believe they both lived in Lubbock, Texas.
@jimmydacat ha ha ha ha ha !!!
Great song. Far from the style of Bob Dylan. How gets to feel the influence of Dylan in this song?
Ya well, how can we tell how good it is when recorded mono on a cheap cell phone? I am older than dirt and remember Joe in Buddy Holley's band. The 45 records I bought in the 50's had better sound. I feed this U tube music into BIG JBL spkrs thru a 100 W per chan Kenwood amp with the Creative Soundblaster card in my PC attempting to make it stereo. It's pretty much crap. U can't shine a pig and U can't make this into a clean recording U wanna save. U tube oughta reject crap like this.
10 years later and you're still dumb as fuck!
Sounds too much like Dylan
Max Cady
you are right on that!
pete erickson sound nothing like Dylan
I stand corrected, JD. I may be confused about band members but I am NOT confused about electronic reproduction of clean sound or video. This, and many other You Tube postings are worse than trash. Just because someone got a high price ticket and took illegal poor quality recording does not mean it should be available to the world. It's an excellent song. The recording method is crap. I speak as an audio technician and a music collector. Very disappointing posts on You Tube come from phones.
That is the whole raw fuckin point, Johnny mixing board, rawness and that the mere fact that the outlaw prick that paid too much for the ticket cut that retched turd, and the power of music and performance transcended the bootleg This version peels my scalp back hits me "like that Single Shot 410. Come on lighten up Poindexter, really, don't lose sight that you don't exist without the MUSIC.
You stand in a pile of shit,illegal video off a phone? Jesus you're dumber than cowshit. Cuz guys recording on a phone in the audience always get multiple camera angles including on stage.the weight of your stupidity is crushing the screen on my phone
Joe skips the second verse in this cover
Story line dont match, if he is broke, how did he have a suitcase full of money????
Love, Love Joe. This band has no soul. Way out of sequence. Everyone's trying to keep up with one another. There are much better versions from Joe.
