Autographs of Joe Ely

Joe Ely (/ˈiːli/; February 9, 1947 – December 15, 2025) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He was "one of the main movers" of Austin, Texas's progressive country scene in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ely had a genre-crossing career, performing with Bruce Springsteen, Uncle Tupelo, Los Super Seven, The Chieftains, James McMurtry, The Clash, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, and Guy Clark.
Born Earle Rewell Ely in Amarillo, Texas, in 1947, Ely spent his teenage years in Lubbock, Texas, and attended Monterey High School. His father Earl worked for the railways, and in Lubbock ran a used clothing store. He died when Ely was aged 13 and his wife was institutionalised. Ely went to live with relatives and contributed to finances by working as a dishwasher and cook in a cafe. He played violin from the age of eight and sang in the First Baptist Church choir. He sold his violin to buy an electric guitar and was expelled from Monterey High School for "singing 'Cherry Pie' by Marvin & Johnny in the middle of a school assembly". Ely "took to the road like his heroes Jack Kerouac and Woody Guthrie." He experienced "a drugs bust in Texas involving magic mushrooms", went to California where he bought a guitar, and in New York worked as a janitor in a theatre.
