A long-lost duet from Texas singer-songwriter Joe Ely and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame vocalist Linda Ronstadt has been unearthed after more than 25 years. "Where Is My Love," which Ely has been playing live for a number of years, was recorded with Ronstadt in a Los Angeles studio in 1987 but was never released. The song was recently added to iTunes.
Written by R.C. Banks, "Where Is My Love" features Mitch Watkins on guitar, Bill Ginn on keyboards, Jim Keltner on drums and Tony Marisco on bass. According to a statement, Ely and Ronstadt talked about the song during a recent visit and decided it was finally time for it to be made available to the public.
Meanwhile, Ely has also issued his debut novel, Reverb: An Odyssey, a coming-of-age tale that takes place in the West Texas town of Lubbock, where Ely grew up. Set in 1965, the story follows a high-school dropout named Earle. In October, Ely released B4 84, an album he recorded in 1983 using an early Apple II computer, which made him one of the first musicians to record an album on a computer.
Ronstadt, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, has since retired from singing after revealing in 2013 that she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Her autobiography, Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir, was released last year.

Joe Ely isn’t cooling his heels in Lubbock, Texas, these days. In fact, if anything, he’s burning rubber. He’s been firing up the road between Lubbock and Austin with gigs and sessions keeping him busier than he’s been in years. His creativity seems to turn to ash to the wall between the past and the present. While we wait for his first album of new songs since 2011’s Satisfied at Last, three key projects are coming up from the past. It appears his own impact as one of Americana’s premiere singer-songwriters is more immediate than ever. With an innovative unreleased archival album recorded in 1983, B484, his first novel, Reverb: An Odyssey, and a 27-year-old unreleased duet with Linda Ronstadt, “Where is My Love,” Joe Ely’s legacy and current status as iconic rock & roller journeyman is more relevant than ever.

Linda Ronstadt Joe Ely
Joe Ely has alway been a step ahead of the music industry. He’s toured as an opener for the Clash and shared the stage with Elvis Costello. He;s kept Lubbock on the map by teaming up with local musicians Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock in the country/folk trio The Flatlanders. He’s written books, ‘Bonfire of Roadmaps’ and the forthcoming ‘Reverb: An Odyssey.’
Ely also released a ‘B484,’ an album made in the 80’s in his home studio, cutting edge at the time, that later was recreated in a “professional” studio by MCA and released as ‘Hi Res.’
All this scavenging through archives has also led to another treasure.
A recent visit that Ely had with Linda Ronstadt the two artists recalling the session for a 1987 duet for “Where is My Love.”
After a search, the recording was found. Ely and Ronstadt agreed the song held up well over time. Written by West Texas songwriter, Randy Banks, it is a Tejanao-tinged song of lost love and woeful regret that brings Linda Ronstadt back to her ‘Silk Purse’ country-rock era of the early 70’s. Her vocal interchange with Ely carries a soulful reminder of how two fine artists create magic through chemistry and the sheer joy of sharing together in a great country song and, sadly, how much we will miss her voice due to her struggles with Parkinson’s disease.
Hear the magic below/ I will post info on buying when I get it.
Ely is currently at work on a follow-up to 2011’s ‘Satisfied at Last,’
