Ray Wylie Hubbard - Snake Farm

In his 60th year, Ray Wylie Hubbard has the unruly look of a man who's been dragged backward through a snake farm and barely lived to tell the tale. But despite surface appearances, this one-time outlaw of the progressive country 'movement' has stepped beyond his self-abusive ways and is enjoying a personal and professional renaissance.

Most recently, the regenerated Hubbard has assumed the role of mentor to and influence on a new generation of off-center Texas country rockers, which makes it all the more interesting that, in pushing to its limits the turn he took a couple of albums back, his largely self-penned new effort almost completely eschews country in favor of a style of blues so swampy that Snake Farm sounds more Louisiana black mud than Texas red dirt. ~ Full review at This Is Texas Music
