The country rock and blues singer/songwriter performed five or six years ago with local musi cian Eric Johnson, said T.C. Nguyen, manager of the Stafford Opera Flouse. "This time he will perform solo, I think, but he may bring some friends down to play with him," Nguyen said. Since his solo debut in 1977, Ely has toured with performers such as the Clash, the Rolling Stones and Tom Petty. "This is a rare opportunity, to bring a musician as prestigious as this to the Opera House," Nguyen said. "We've been trying to bring him here for a long, long time. People tell me his acoustic act is really incredible." Two songs on Ely's latest al bum, "Love and Danger," were written by fellow Texan Robert Earl Keen jr. Keen, a member of the Texas A&M Class of '80, contributed "The Road Goes On Forever" and "Whenever Kindness Fails." In an interview for "Stereo Re view," Ely traced his interest in a musical career back to the time his parents took their seven-year-old son to see Jerry Lee Lewis perform at a Pontiac dealership in their hometown, Amarillo.

"But it was so wonderful be cause it seemed like it fit, with the wind and the static electricity in the air," he said. "I always look back at that moment as the very beginning, the spark that made me consider doing this as my life." Ely will perform Friday with out his new band, which includes guitarist Ian Moore and Reese Wynans, formerly of Stevie Ray Vaughn's group Double Trouble. Nguyen said he hopes Ely will return to play again with the band, which formed after Ely fin ished his latest album and his gui tarist left to join John Mellen- camp's band. Ely's past albums include "Honky Tonk Masquerade," "Down On The Drag," "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta," "Live at Liber ty Lunch," and the critically ac claimed "Lord of the Highway." 1 AUSTIN says crack c< iccused of s tiy posing c player.
