Comments on: AN ELDER STATESMAN… http://ninebullets.net/archives/an-elder-statesman ALL OF OUR ALIBIS ARE 100 PROOF Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:53:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Nordendman http://ninebullets.net/archives/an-elder-statesman/comment-page-1#comment-57238 Nordendman Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:13:25 +0000 http://ninebullets.net/?p=1841#comment-57238 RWH is one of the best live performers as well on record. Saw him at the Granada Theater in Dallas, 2006. He had his son (10 at the time, I believe) join in with the band, playing a decent guitar, too. If RWH is within 50 miles of you, go and see him. He still does "Red Neck Mother"... if anyone remembers that. RWH is one of the best live performers as well on record. Saw him at the Granada Theater in Dallas, 2006.

I really like the songs you picked to sample. For those that liked "Dallas After Midnight" that's Jack Ingram singing with him another great Texas artist (just try to avoid the newer mainstream Nashvilly stuff and stick to the older stuff like "Biloxi", etc.). Also, "Chocktaw Bingo" is actually a James McMurtry song (yeah, son of THE Larry McMurtry) who is another great Texas artist (do yourself a favor and listen to "We Can't Make it Here" definitely some great songwriting here's a youtube clip of him doing it acoustic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWRfBZY-ng&feature=related).

I can't say I've delved too far into his catalog, because his stuff is a bit harder to find up here in WI. Even so I'd still hit up one of his shows without hesitation.

I just dropped by and will likely be sucking up your bandwidth in the near future! Great stuff. Truersound: Why the hell have I never found your site before?

I figured my inaugural music post should be about someone who'd been around a while that hadn't been mentioned 'round these parts all that much. It was Ray Wylie or Billy Joe and Ray happened to be on the random list at the moment ;) I'll get around to Billy Joe soon enough. He plays here in Houston at the Mucky Duck seemingly every month. It's a good groove to be sure. I think he and Billy Joe Shaver have done more for the Red Dirt scene than any other four men put together.

Anyone in the Dallas area...Ray will play the Granada Theater on Sat 8/22 with Dustin Welch (Kevin Welch's son) and Elizabeth Cook from XM/Sirius radio. Ray is a living legend!
