![]() Ray Wylie Hubbard (from the album Co-Starring available on Big Machine Records) As happens, Ringo Starr became a fan of Ray Wylie’s tune “Snake Farm”, inviting him to Ringo’s show at the Greek Theatre the night after Ray played Santa Monica, California. The former Beatle opens the recent Ray Wylie Hubbard release, Co-Starring, as part of a band that includes Ringo’s brother-in-law Joe Walsh, Don Was, and Black Crowe Chris Robinson on the rumbling groove of “Bad Trick”. A lot of love is given to guitars when Ray Wylie Hubbard is joined by Peter Rowan on “Hummingbird” and The Cadillac Three for “Free Left Hand” in the story of a six-string slinger. Pam Tillis is part the Blues tribute to “Mississippi John Hurt”, coming back for vocals alongside Ronnie Dunn on “The Messenger”. As with all Ray Wylie Hubbard songs, the author and the main character could be the same fellow as much as the two may live worlds apart. Honky tonk troubles get a Rock’n’Roll Country soundtrack as Ray Wylie Hubbard shares the microphone with Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook in “Drink ‘Til I See Double”, staying on track for the male/female spit and snarl as Co-Starring welcomes Ashley McBryde in for “Outlaw Blood” and sister act Larkin Poe for “Rattlesnake Shakin’ Woman”. Contrary Country gets a double bill when Aaron Lee Tasjan ascends the altar with Ray Wylie Hubbard for “Rock Gods” while Ray Wylie spells out his intentions as “R.O.C.K” backed by Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown.
