    Ray Wiley Hubbard for me is like JJ Cale is to many. Ray’s songs are clever stories that make you laugh, create a mood, paint strange and familiar pictures, and just think. I love this man. A good friend of mine Matt King wrote a song with him called Hell In the Henhouse. Ray’s songwriting has certainly been an influence on Matt and that is a good thing. Check out Matt’s stuff, particularly Apples and Orphans and Rube, some of the best music you’ll ever hear, but it’s not mainstream, which is good in some ways and bad in others. Good because sometimes when artists go mainstream they are forced by the people financing the music to write something that’s forced to fit the market place and then you wouldn’t have the great music that comes from guys like Ray and Matt, they refuse to cowtow to that way of selling out. It’s also bad because so many will miss out on hearing their stuff, because it’s not readily available. Do yourself a favor, FIND their music and support these fantastic musicians, you’ll be glad you did.

      I recently had the opportunity to meet Ray and spend time with him after a couple shows and was amazed by how gracious and humble he was with me. His relationship with Stevie Ray was a highlight of our conversation and Ray's love for him was evident. I don't think I've ever had a greater experience outside the birth of my children and my marriage. A true gentlemen and an unheralded artist.

      I totally agree; RWH was obviously working within some programming time constraints. It’s a great song and needs more time in order to appreciate the character development.
      Just caught what I consider to be his best rendition of it. He closed his Austin City Limits gig with it last night (January 23, 2021).
