A few decades late, but the Grand Ole Opry finally invited Ray Wylie Hubbard to perform.  Not many folks make their debut at age 72, but RWH doesn't do things like everybody else.

^ glad I installed the required upgrade to view that, worth it.

 

Here's another song from the same set.  It's called "Mother Blues."  Features two of my favorite lines ever penned by a songwriter.  "We hit it off like a metaphor" always makes me laugh and "the days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations...I have really good days" is just good advice on living.

Ray Wylie Hubbard is a legend in one respect.  His songs have been covered by many and a diverse group of artists have praised his work: Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ringo Starr, etc., etc..  None of that ever amounted to Hubbard enjoying commercial success.  In part because the dolts who run the music business (the "syphilitic parasitics" as John Prine calls them) just don't get him and his work.  And also in part because Ray Wylie Hubbard is not going to be told how to make music by a bunch of number crunchers.

 

Here's one you should be able to watch: "Down Home Country Blues" with Ray's son Lucas on guitar.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
