I bought my copy at his show at Lafayette’s Music Room last Wednesday on 4/10/24. I figured he’d get a bigger cut if I bought it from there rather than Amazon but I’ve been sending everyone the same link. I read it in two days.
Years ago my band, The Woodhonkys, played at this rural Tennessee bar called North Inn. My cousin Myra described it to my dad as a place where if you don't have a gun going in, they issue you one at the door.
haha, I played 'Redneck Mother' at a dive bar gig last weekend. A drunk guy fell off his seat in the middle of the song, quite fitting.
Im the proud owner of a Ray Wiley Hubbard autographed harmonica case. Ray is a Texas treasure for sure.
Ray Wylie Hubbard is well, simply the best!! No one puts more words in a song lyrically!! Met him and his son before a gig years ago and he was just like this with stories and wisdoms.. He is priceless…
I certainly never get tired of listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard.
"He always wondered what the Chinese symbol was for 'Bubba'." 🤣
If these are the stories he can tell in "polite" company think of the one's he's holding back. God Bless you both.
You’re right, and he said people were having sex in front of his van during the concert, I wanna know what’s crazier than that.
I partied with him at Wuenche Brothers in Spring on year in the 80s, hes so funny he'll hurt you laughing. He got a kick out of me not knowing how to close his bus door cause I was too drunk, but he sat there and listened to me play a sing for him and we got blitzed. The very next year I saw him again and we were both sober, at least I was for a while..
Hes a National treasure since I consider Texas it's ownself.
My son (6 months old at the time) played Dino's son in the movie 'Songwriter'. His character's name was Bubba. Rip Torn was a hoot.
That's beautiful, Rick! : )
Ray Wylie is a Icon of mine. He is so brutally honest about the business and a great writer and musician 👏
I just love old Ray! "Redneck Mother" was one of the first songs they would let me sing back in the early 70's! I've been a huge fan since! He's been doing pretty good lately since his wife got him sobered up and working. His son has been playing guitar in his little 3 pc trio, he's really proud about that. A couple of his recent albums are really good too!! He's a national treasure for folk music IMO!! So glad to see that! And he always makes me laugh!! 8) Peace --gary
Fantastic,
OTIS, you think you can get Hubbard on your show for a interview for more stories . The man is great song writer and Texas story teller , he is in that unknown class like Blaze and Van Zandt, that needs to be known to more folks before he passes on .
Great Book!!! I've owned mine for a year or two… ""Ol' Scooter" in East Texas...
This is great stuff! I first saw Ray Wylie in the early seventies and currently live in the area of Texas that Ray is talking about while he is reading. I not sure how many times I've seen him but at least a dozen and am a serious fan. This guy is an all time treasure!!!
Love Ray Wylie Hubbard, it's a small town.
cocaine and gun on the able...i know ray and hayes already done it but that's always such a good start for a song poem or short story idea thanks for reposting broher otis these are yet more gems - SJOCR
“That’s my name in Oriental” lmao I could see him doing an episode of “Tales from The Tour Buss” lol so funny
When the doo doo hits the revolving osserlator these young men and ladies will be our first line of defense...
I met RWH in the early 90s in Denton. Served him a water w lime at a benefit and we talked for a few minutes. I've met a lot of Texas singers with 3 names. He's the best of the lot.
I’ve talked with him multiple times, but one time in 2014 was the best. It was after a show, and I mentioned a concert some years ago that my Ex had bought me VIP tix for which included a meet and greet. Long story short, he spent MAYBE 5 minutes in the room with about 100 people. When I mentioned this to him, he remembered the show called the GM of the local TX/Red Dirt station ( you prolly know it, since your in its RANGE), a JackAss cause he sold VIP tix with a meet and greet without ever telling him.
@@billybee3423 I got the impression he has no problem chatting with somebody for awhile if it's his idea. super amicable.
@@thenneedd RWH is great, but I think you are forgetting a little guy that falls in that category you mentioned. His initials were SRV. Sorry, but no musician, in any genre, topped, tops, or ever will top that young man.
@@1980bwc Respect. But 2 things: RWH is a better singer/SONGWRITER and, I never met Stevie Ray.
I’d like to see an Otis Gibbs and Ray Wylie Hubbard show hit Buffalo, NY! Two guys I’ve never seen but really want to.
Great stories
Ray wiley Hubbard, we love and miss y’all down here in waxahachie!!! It was the one of my best memories meeting you, Lucas and charles at the chataqua texas music and movie scene. Next time you get around here and you’re not slammed give mr. Soloman a call he should still have Laura’s number after her taking care of your loved one mr. Jim Mcaddams. Best wishes to you and bless you and your family!!! Jody and Laura Vance waxahAchie Texas
Good ol Ray W Hubbard.
Great, great book. Thanks for the post Otis !
Otis your content is so genuine. The love of the history and music shines through. Thank you for what you do!
Oh, gotta love Ray!
Thank you Otis Gibbs for your GREAT PODCAST! It's always a good start to my day when I get the 'Notice there's an Otis'
You open vaults to the storied behind the Stars.... Any view beyond Stars is inter galactic. Like a room full of 'Vets' reminiscing the best times of their lives. I could never express how incredible it is to being audience to the colorful world of the legends of THE MUSIC of my LIFE!!!❤
Wow, that story is great!
Loved hearing this!
he mentioned Green on Red. gads, he's cool. troubadour. a poets dream!
I picked the wrong video to stop drinkin' whiskey...
Ray Wylie gave you a shout out on p151....book's a hoot
He referred to me as a young guy, so I figured it was a misprint. : )
Some of the best bad gig stories I’ve ever heard. I think as Musicians, even if we don’t have a gig now but are used to play at some point… We long to hear each other‘s horror stories. I had a of mine who was playing for an 88-year-old man’s BD party. He plays sax and fronts the band. When the old birthday boy comes out to dance with his wife, he drops of a heart attack right in front of the stage, and in front of my friend! When he told me this, I had my mouth open and just asked what he did. He said somebody motions him to just keep playing while they took care of the old guy…and the band played on…
Holy shit
Great story!
Ray is the Bomb 💣 😂
Just wanted to let you know that is by far the most interesting, fascinating and informative channel on TH-cam. You’ve brought much joy to my life and I’ve actually subscribed to your channel, the one and only time. Look forward to each video and want to sincerely thank you. The most fascinating video, reading or watching I’ve done in my 70 years. It’s a true gem of content. Keep em coming because us old guys don’t have much to choose from as todays music is shit !
Worst gig ever reminds me that fateful blues gig in the 80s at Chinese Restaurant in Everett , Mass . near Boston .

I sure did enjoy that one, Ray.
So glad I clicked 😂
loved his book!
This must have been in the 2000's. I have heard the rumors about this event and a similar Midwest event in Iowa that Did not use Redneck but used Mud in the name of the event.
Ray Wylie is horribly underrated as a songwriter and performer. Met him at McGonigel's Mucky Duck in Houston in the 90's. I still owe him $15 from that night.
This is hilarious!
😂 🤭 🤦♀️ too funny..I'm not going there tho 😂 😂 not even my wildest days 😂 oh shit..butt Crack contest..man , oh shit
Yep I worked at that club about a month. Gino had advertised Anne Murray the Snowbird. We got dozens ofcalls abput the upcoming show and bout a day before he told me it was an old gimick to just promote the biz. Gino was a real crook but a likeable dude.He would pull a gun on you sometimes.
at .58 min Rick is mentioned - I think may know Rick, Drummer, Yacht restorer, cool old dude from Dallas area. Right?
Ray is a god
I played a Wedding in Western NC / It was actually a good ole time / Definitely some good ole Redneck Behavior / When i went to get paid I was directed to where they were fighting Roosters / Lucking the guy paying was up !
I’m dyin’!
godammit, lol!
❤❤❤
Damned if the thumbnail photo for this video isn't a dead ringer for the late radio personality Don Imus.
Funniest $&&# I’ve ever heard.
OMG
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is still my favorite episode of Thanks For Giving A Damn.
