Screw you, I’m an outlaw, too
One thing that was obvious to me as I watched Ray Wylie Hubbard grind out his driving, bluesy anthems on a recent Saturday at Bill’s Records, is how these outlaw country artists really live the genre.
Bandana-wrapped, bristly, beery (or recovering from a life of beeriness), Ray Wylie and his junior outlaw pal, Guthrie Kennard, would rock day and night, even if KHYI 95.3 FM didn’t sponsor their shows, or fans didn’t pack the house to listen. Continue reading

In fact, I recall one particular evening at the DFW Songwriters Open Mic when, about three hours into a two-hour event, a large fellow in a hoodie stepped up to the microphone, said, “My name is Lamar and this first song is called I Miss You,” and for the next 30 minutes entertained us a capella with a quavering falsetto that never quite found a melody.
I felt like a hostage. Continue reading

Whine Flu mars return to Bill’s Records
“Don’t worry about this cough. Jews don’t get the Swine Flu. We get the Whine Flu!
“Oh, my, Gawd, is this guy back again? He’s hooorrrible!” I mock-kvetched to the sparse Bill’s Records audience during my Memorial Day weekend set.
To compound the misery, Bill’s booker Becky Hyden has posted a pair of YouTube videos, where you can see me failing miserably in front of nobody. Continue reading

This is the Artist Underground Stage
Roving photographer Danny Bollinger missed my show; grabbed an image of the banner out front of the Artist Underground Stage at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival.
Post-mortem and horrifying video to follow!
