Ray Wylie Hubbard

Ray Wylie Hubbard is a fixture on the XM Satellite Radio Channel Outlaw Radio. As with many of the forefathers of any movement Hubbard has not had the commercial success of many of those that have followed.

For those who follow the Texas music of James McMurty and Robert Earl Keen. I surely am one of those, listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard is like listening to his father. Hubbard can sing, his voice is just ragged enough, but his lyrics and songs are great fun.

I am just now searching his catalog but three songs you must hear are Loose which is a Friday night song if there ever was one, Snake Farm which seems like a silly song until you hear it a few times and realize it is not just funny, it is also a great song.

Drunken Poet's Dream is another strong song. One either likes this kind of music or not, I am certainly becoming a bit of a shill for Outlaw Radio and these artists but there is a reason.

Listen to Ray Wylie Hubbard. Today. Or if you don't Hubbard might just advise you to listen to another song of his" Screw You, We're From Texas."
