Si tratta di un disco nuovo di zecca: canzoni che Ely ha scritto tra la fine dei sessanta ed i primi settanta, prima di formare i Flatlanders. Ma il disco è stato inciso adesso da Joe con il solo Joel Guzman. Silver City ci presenta il vero Joe Ely con le sue ballate classiche, le sue canzoni fiere.sospese sul confine tra Texas e Messico. Ristampa di un album edito originariamente nel 2007.
Dopo Last Man Standing, un altro grande disco per il Killer. 18 canzoni, 16 duetti al fulmicotone, tra country e rock and roll.Il vecchio rocker si misura con Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Merle Haggard, Shelby Lynne, Gillian Welch, Solomon Burke, Ringo Starr, John Mayer, John Fogerty, Willie Nelson, Mavis Staples, Robbie Robertson e Nils Lofgren, tra gli altri.
