The country singer-songwriter Joe Ely has announced a new album, Driven to Drive, which arrives on August 2. Leading the LP is a new song featuring Bruce Springsteen, “Odds of the Blues.” Listen to the track below.
Ely and Springsteen have performed together sporadically since the early 1990s. In 1995, Ely recruited Springsteen to sing on two Letter to Laredo tracks, “All Just to Get to You” and “I’m a Thousand Miles From Home.”
Discussing the new song in a press release, Ely said:
Ely self-produced Driven to Drive. The new release follows Ely’s 2022 collection Flatland Lullaby and the 2020 album Love in the Midst of Mayhem. Last year, the musician reissued his first three studio albums: 1977’s Joe Ely, 1978’s Honky Tonk Masquerade, and 1979’s Down on the Drag.
