yes being on the downside of 50 i know just how lucky i was to be in houston texas in 1974 and witness history that totally changed country music , .my first time to hear willie was at shepherd's drive in houston halloween nite 1974 for red headed stranger debut concert ray wylie, david allan coe, were playing the opera house, it was an amazing time ! thanks for the video i am a huge fan of hayes carll so it extra nice!
Even though he co-wrote the song with Haynes Carll, I like RWH version better. I think his voice and style match up better with the lyrics. Regardless, two great songs by two great artists.
I first heard this diamond in the rough on Sirrus radio It was worth the yearly cost just to learn about him Jim McMurtry is similar to RWH check him out as well
This is on Hubbard's recent album, which has an odd title: A. Enlightenment B: Endarkenment. You can probably find it at a local record store or ask them to order one... or you could download from an online store. He wrote it with Hayes Carll, who also recorded it. I like this better, but both are great.
He does a live radio show on KNBT fm in New Braunfels, TX most Tuesday nights from a bar (Tavern on the Gruene) where he interviews Texas/Red Dirt artists. They usually perform some of their songs and sometimes he'll play a song himself. Very entertaining guy!
When I was young my Daddy took me to see this man preform on the town square in Commerce, Texas. The show didn't start until midnight. My Daddy took me and my brothers over during a break and introduced us to him. He shook me and my brothers hands and we all took a picture with him. He's a good man and I think of my Daddy every time I hear him sing.

You wanna hear this kinda stuff on the radio? Go to KPIG, 107.5 FM in Freedom California. You can also get an online stream from them. Great indy radio station.
Saw Ray Wylie at The Luminaire in London last night. Great gig. Got to have a chat with him pre-gig as well - what a gentleman. To answer someones previous question, Drunken Poets Dream was written by Hayes Carll & Ray Wylie Hubbard, tho' Hayes recorded it first. Thanks for the gig Ray - See you next time.
accidently saw this guy live in asheville...just magical...had heard 'redneck mother' before, but didn't know him by name..just staggered into a bar to find this treasure...run forever, ray!
@jdraper80 You're pissed, Mr. Bloody 30 . Ha! imagine how I feel at 60 you young whelp! Not only that, I'm English , try writing something that rhymes with "petrol".
@ibhounded Ha ha ! Nice try, but no cigar Mate. OK, you put "petrol" in a line, but you didn't rhyme it with anything did you ? It's one of those words with no worthwhile rhyme, like "orange".
Some other wag here suggested "asshole"... or maybe he means I'm one...
If you like this you need ... yes, NEED ... to hear and own RWH's new album "A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There is no C.)."
"Drunken Poet's Dream" is on the album.
As I've posted in other places: mark my words - at year's end, Enlightenment/Endarkenment will be on numerous "best of the year" lists. Yes, it's THAT good.
@murphyssaloon I gotta agree with Murph....I got the whole cd...whoop& holler and pots & pans...classic RWH...and Lucas is sounding way beyond his years too..
I think this is really a Hayes Carl written song, I know he's got it on his latest album. He and Ray Wylie collaborate a lot and play together so could be a collaborative effort as well.
MusicFog, I don't know how you do it. Great equipment, looks and sounds great. I don't know what pyramid scheme you all got going to travel and record these folks, but I like it!

@normanplombe as you know, Ray Wylie Hubbard wrote the song Jerry Jeff Walker made famous, "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother."
here's where it comes from. the anarchist stuff is cool, but the section "Influence as a slogan" shows the etymology of the phrase.
