| | Description: | Das mindestens zweiundzwanzigste Album des texanischen Rock-Musikers und Alt-Country Paten.
Love in the Midst of Mayhem enthält zehn Aufnahmen, die während der COVID-19-Pandemie fertiggestellt
wurden. "Als alles geschlossen wurde, gab es Zeiten für mich, die absolut nah am Wahnsinn waren«, sagt
Ely. »Ich habe mehr geschlafen, als ich sollte. Endlich haben meine Frau Sharon und ich beschlossen, dass
wir unsere Energie auf das konzentrieren sollten, was wir am besten können." Für Ely war das Musik. Love
in the Midst of Mayhem ist eine Kollektion, die die Denkweise des 74-jährigen über die letzten Monate in
dringlichen Rock transportiert. "Jeder Song handelt von Liebe, ist für die Liebe, das Lieben und mit Liebe
gemacht... Liebe, wenn wir sie am meisten brauchen. Love in the Midst of Mayhem ist nicht nur eine
Freude, es zu hören, es ist eine Notwendigkeit." Mit Ely spielen auf dem Album die Gitarristen Mitch
Watkins, Rob Gjersoe, Bradley Kopp, die Bassisten Roscoe Beck, Glen Fukunaga, Gary Herman, Jimmy
Pettit, Schlagzeuger Davis McLarty, Pat Manske, Steve Meador, Keyboarder Joel Guzman (ebenfalls
Akkordeon), die inzwischen verstorbene Reese Wynans und der verstorbene Bill Ginn. - .. MAYHEM2021 release.

Originally released on April 17, 2020 as download only. CD released several months later."Love In The Midst of Mayhem" is a CD release by singer-songwriter Joe Ely, issued by the independent label Rack'em Records in cooperation with Thirty Tigers. Musically, this album revolves around Ely's roots in Americana, Country, Folk and Rock, combining storytelling songwriting with a band sound that alternates between intimate, acoustic moments and driving, electrified arrangements. The songs move through themes of love, chaos and resilience - how relationships and human connections can exist and even grow stronger in turbulent times. Lyrically, Ely focuses on vivid characters, small snapshots of everyday life, and emotionally charged reflections that feel honest rather than sentimental.
The production aims for warmth and clarity, capturing organic instruments such as guitars, bass, drums, keys and occasional additional color (for example subtle steel or background vocals) in a way that feels close and live-in-the-room. This makes the CD interesting both for long-time followers of the Texas/Americana scene and for listeners who appreciate handcrafted songwriting and song-based albums that can be heard from start to finish, not just as individual tracks. The sequencing of the tracks is designed as a journey through different moods - from quieter, introspective pieces to more up-tempo songs that blend rock energy with rootsy grooves.
Joe Ely is known as a central figure of the Texas music scene and the Americana genre. Over the decades he has built a reputation as a gifted live performer and storyteller whose work bridges Country, Rock, Folk and Tex-Mex influences. He has released a long series of albums and is respected among fans and musicians alike for his authentic songwriting and energetic stage presence. "Love In The Midst of Mayhem" ties in with this tradition and will particularly appeal to listeners who appreciate mature songwriting and a characteristic voice that carries life experience.
Rack'em Records - in collaboration with the Nashville-based service company Thirty Tigers - stands for artist-driven releases that preserve creative control and give artists space for individual expression. Rather than operating like a classic major label, this constellation focuses on flexible distribution and marketing structures tailored to the needs of independent musicians. Buyers of this CD can therefore expect a production that is less industry-standardized and more oriented towards the artistic vision and authenticity of Joe Ely. | | | No. of tracks: |
