Review

Though Ray Wylie Hubbard ran with the rowdiest in progressive country through the 1970s, when he fronted the Cowboy Twinkies and wrote "(Up Against the Wall) Redneck Mother," he has since matured into one of the most reflective of Texas troubadours. Following a pair of bluesier releases, Hubbard returns to his folk roots with a collection that could pass as a Lone Star coffeehouse hootenanny. He applies his warm, weathered voice to "Drivin' Wheel" (popularized by Tom Rush), harmonizes with Eliza Gilkyson on her bittersweet "The Beauty Way," and collaborates with Cross Canadian Ragweed's Cody Canada on the hipster's credo "Cooler-N-Hell." A hallelujah chorus including Gilkyson, Patty Griffin, Slaid Cleaves, and Bob Schneider transforms a Woody Guthrie lyric into an a cappella spiritual ("This Morning I Am Born Again"), while the acoustic rendition of "Roll and I Tumble" evokes the rural roots of the blues standard. Though this collection spotlights Hubbard more as an interpreter than a songwriter, he revisits his outlaw days with "Dust of the Chase" and "Dallas After Midnight," trading verses with Jack Ingram on the latter. The album pulls out all the stops on the eight-minute closer "Choctaw Bingo," powered by the dual guitars of songwriter James McMurtry and producer Gurf Morlix. Its reckless spirit suggests that Hubbard hasn't totally settled down. --Don McLeeseTexas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard offers originals and interpretations of writers such as Eliza Gilkyson, Roger Tillison, James McMurtry, Woody Guthrie and Slaid Cleaves. Out of many voices, he's crafted an album uniquely his own. Tearing down the road, fending off sin or welcoming it into the living room, shaking off the blues and seeking salvation wherever he can find it, Hubbard understands what he calls "the head of the rock 'n' roll gypsies," and no matter who wrote the tale, he knows how to bring it to life with a deep-focus emotional honesty that hits the heart dead center.
