RAY WYLIE HUBBARD, RAW DISPLAY OF LEGENDARY MUSIC TALENT
ozman writes "Ray Wylie Hubbard: St Bonaventure's Parish Social Club,Bristol UK Mon 24/5/2010.
Review taken from the ''Bristol Evening Post''.
In the world of American roots music,Ray Wylie Hubbard is something of a legend,cited by many of today's alt-country heroes as a major influence and in the past few weeks nominated for three awards in the prestigious Americana Music Awards including artist of the year.
This was his first ever visit to Bristol,and so for most of us this was our first chance to see-live and up close-the grizzled Texan outlaw whose voice is as rough and as dusty as the deserts of his home state,and whose past is as dark as so many of his songs.
This was a stripped down performance.Hubbard played the smallest guitar with an equally small amp that was ideal for his quieter finger-picked songs,but equally up to his rollicking blues playing with its heavy bass lines and rocking slide work.
He was accompanied throughout by drummer Rick Richards playing one drum,a tambourine and various small bits of percussion.yet still managing to produce some surprisingly strong blues-rock rhythms.
SNAKE FARM,with its sleazy lyrics,is not the obvious choice for trying to get the audience to sing along,especially as early as the second song,but somehow he managed it,although pointing out that this song about the dancing Ramona''ain't exactly Kumbaya''.
You could say much the same about the equally sleazy song that followed,''A DRUNKEN POET'S DREAM'',written with Hayes Carll.
You felt that there was more than a little personal history behind ''NAME DROPPIN' '',about bands achieving success too quickly,introduced with a poke at artists who are only too quick to tell you about their famous friends.
Mind you Hubbard was not exactly slow in name-checking people in his lyrics,for there were references to John Lee Hooker,Howlin' Wolf,Muddy Waters,Townes Van Zandt,Charlie Daniels and even the Alarm.
''WANNA ROCK AND ROLL''introduced as''a little trashy bluegrass murder ballad''stormed along like a train and somehow managed to morph into''JOHN THE REVELATOR''which is an odd combination but actually worked extremely well.
Most of the songs were sung to fairly heavy driving bluesy rhythms,but slower songs like ''BLACK WING'' and ''WITHOUT LOVE'' were equally effective.
He tends to speak and even snarl his words rather than sing these days,with a voice that sounds as if he has been rubbing his tonsils with sandpaper.
But Ray Wylie Hubbard's real strength is his lyrics,which are often closer to superbly crafted,concisely told mini stories than songs,with well-observed colourful characters.
While there was a sombre quality to many of the songs,Ray Wylie Hubbard is actually a very funny performer who talked to the audience and kept them laughing with his self- depricating humour
Ray Wylie Hubbard showed why he has become such a legend.

CLASSIC ROCK SAYS THE BRITISH SOUTH IS ON THE RISE!
Southern rock, UK style, comes to London. Classic Rock raises a glass or three at the Southern Evening, recently staged at London’s 100 Club.
Words: Xavier Russell
Southern rock, like hard rock and heavy metal, has always maintained its popularity. Bands such as The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, Doc Hollliday and .38 Special are as popular today as they were back in the 70s and 80s. And it’s not just in America; southern rock has always been very popular in Europe. In Germany there’s Molly Hatchet clones Lizard, who are still going strong! Back in the 1980s, England to could raise its own Confederate flag with acts such as Northumbria’s Splitcrow, whose album Rockstorm on the Guardian label (1984) caused quite a stir. And then there was Manchester’s very own Christian southern rockers 100% Proof, whose 1983 album The Power And The Glory was a mighty fine slice of .38 Special with a Christian twist!
And here we are in 2010 and the Confederate flag is still flying high with aSouthern Eveningat London’s 100 Club, featuring three very different bands, yet all with a southern tinge!
Opening up were the Snakeoil Rattlers (www.myspace.com/snakeoilrattlers), whose
witty boast that ‘where the swamp meets the road you will always find
the Snake Oil Rattlers’ could only mean a sorta cajun/bluegrass
sound. The Rattlers have been knocking around since 2004, playing around
The Swamps of London Town, and have built up a dedicated following
judging by the cheering as the band launched into Road Tales,
full of delightful chicken-scratch guitars, courtesy of Messrs. Barry
Warren and Ryan Carr.Elsewhere, Slow Train To Georgia and Nothin’
To Confess showed just what a tight unit the Rattlers are, and was
that Made In The Shade, the ol’ Skynyrd classic? Hell, yeah. I
will be checking this lot out again.
Next were Elias
T. Hoth (www.eliasthoth.com), This ZZ
Top flavoured quartet are from Manchester, and were recently voted Monsters
Of Rock on Manchester’s 106 FM radio show. If you like
your southern rock with a heavy boogie feel then you’ll lurve Elias T.
Hoth. Elias himself looks like a haunted soul up on stage as he snarls: ‘Leaving
Mississippi, heading down to Baton Rouge, killed a man up in Memphis
wanted by the FBI.’ It’s boooogie all the way with this lot, and
they don’t let up; in fact their set gets better as it goes along,
Yes,
there’s a version of the Top’s Tush, but their own material is
just as strong. Hex On You, with its Red Indian-style tom tom
drums, is rip-roaring voodoo boogie, while Rolling Thunder
showed off the duelling guitars of Elias Hoth and Sam. And the mainman
likes to sing about Southern Belles, as on the mid tempo Sleazy
Hussy Fever. I was well impressed; can’t wait to see this lot again
very soon. I can also highly recommend their CD Let Sleepin’ Demons
Lie.
And so to the
headliners MelonheadMan (www.myspace.com/melonheadman). From
Tunbridge Wells, Kent they are promoting recent album The Good And
The Bad. Again, it’s a real mixture of styles: part Skynyrd, part
country, part bluegrass and all moulded into MelonheadMan, fronted by
Simon Savage who has the right kind of gravelly voice for this kind of
fayre. He is especially potent on Bad Bob, Hey Baby
and Devil’s Daughter (for Jim Dandy!). He’s blessed with a
tight band backing him, honourable mentions go out to Tim Farmer (bass)
Ted Rogers (guitar) and backing singer Melody Savage!
A
very enjoyable evening, The south has risen again. Now where’s The
Rebel Yell, Crown Royal, Wild Turkey, Jack Daniel’s…?!
