His followup to 2011's Satisfied at Last, Panhandle Rambler is said to be inspired by the desolate plains of the Texas Panhandle, the spirited people and stories it produces, and the special sense of destiny its vastness creates, just like so much of Ely's work has during his expansive 40+ year career.

"At the top of Texas, it's called the panhandle," Ely explains. "There are a lot of interesting characters in this whole collection of works and stories about those characters and about my passing through that world. Ramblers and gamblers that I met up and down the road . . . I've been working on it for a couple of years now."

"This is a classic Joe Ely album. It has moved me, every time I've heard it, with a certain kind of awe. One reason is that, long before you hear "You Saved Me," he put everything he has into telling the world about a place in the world, and through that, reaching his own emotional center. It's beautiful and it's inspiring." - Dave Marsh
