As a music lover of impeccable taste, odds are that you’re already looking forward to spending the better part of the next hour – and several more after that – getting rather obsessively familiar with this latest serving of song and groove from Ray Wylie Hubbard. Having no doubt played his last album, 2010’s A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment (Hint: There is no C.), to digital bits – and committed to memory such earlier chestnuts as Snake Farm, Growl, Eternal and Lowdown, Crusades of the Restless Knights, and maybe even everything else going all the way back to that 1975 Cowboy Twinkies LP that Hubbard himself would rather you forget – you probably can’t wait to tuck into The Grifter’s Hymnal and leisurely savor it from end to end. This, of course, is how things should be. But a couple of variables could throw the above plan off the rails a bit. Suppose, for instance, that the damn Mayans were right, and what’s left of 2012 is all the time we have left, period. Or, maybe despite that aforementioned impeccable music taste, you’ve somehow managed to make it this far into the 21st century without ever hearing of this Hubbard fellow. Grim scenarios, yes, but fear not; because whether you’re short on time due to an impending apocalypse or simply need a tidy introduction to bring you up to speed, the opening track on The Grifter’s Hymnal, “Coricidin Bottle,” tells you everything you need to know in just under two minutes. What it tells you about The Grifter’s Hymnal is that the record rocks. And what it tells you about Ray Wylie Hubbard is, he’s the kind of scrapper poet with the devil-may-care wherewithal to write both “lay down a groove like a monkey getting’ off” and “shakes the mortal coil round my amaranthine soul” into the same song – and the lethal charm and chops to pull it off. “This really was a very special record to me,” Hubbard says. “It wasn’t easy, and some of it really was a struggle, but it was fun. I think each record to me has been a struggle in a way, and I like it that way. I like it that they’re all hard to do, because I think that makes them all have more value to me. It makes me kind of reach for a better part of myself. It keeps me from settling.”

Ray Wylie Hubbard
Fantastic show. Set list included some favorites and his son on guitar is the real deal. Sound was great, and Ray rocks, his voice is just as strong as when he recorded some of these songs years ago. This storyteller and legendary songwriter delivered with a terrific show. Easy to see why Hays Carl, Eric Church, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, etc. want to write with and work with him.
Epperly Mill Floyd, VAThere are truly no words adequate to describe being in the presence of a legend in this sacred venue. Watching Ray Wiley Hubbard and his son perform together was such a special experience. All the staff were very helpful and we were able to make our way up front and enjoy the show. Such a beautiful experience that we will cherish always. Everything including the sound techs were just on point...
Surf Ballroom and Museum Clear Lake, IARWH did a 2 hr + show including a great 3 song encore concluding with James McMurty's Choctaw Bingo. Absolutely astounding performance and tight band with Ray's son Lucas on lead, John Plankerton who opened, joining him for final part of set on his Plank slide guitar and Snider on drums. Great, great show. RWH is truly an icon and if you have the opportunity, definitely don't pass him up.
City Winery Atlanta Atlanta, GARay was a consummate professional as per usual, but the venue was less than impressive. 2 Coors banquets and a soda was $14 and don’t get me started on the food cost. No one ever checked for tickets to the show and they had it inside the small bar area with minimal seating options instead of using the outdoor stage with plenty of space. 4 stars for RWH, 0 for DelNorte
DelNorte Tacos Godley, TXGreat,one of the best i have seen. Ray performed great and talked with the people all though the show.son and special guests put on a good show. His drummer was outstanding and fun to watch. the club was a nice place to watch the show. our server was friendly and kept asking if we needed anything. it was a blast. thank you
