The fact that Texas music titans Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock – on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972 – were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic. That each went on to have formidable solo careers is a testament to their talent and determination. Hills & Valleys, their critically acclaimed new album was released in March of this year.
