musicfog.com Ray Wylie Hubbard & Rick Richards appearing on the Music Fog stage during our music marathon. This was recorded in Threadgill's Back Room in 2011 during SXSW® music week.

[@njenney]

This is probably one of the best songs that most people have never heard.

[@treeoflibertydefense8612]

Have you heard Choctaw Bingo by Wylie? Great song

[@njenney]

@@treeoflibertydefense8612 only heard the James McMurtry version will have to check out.

[@1stsharkb8]

I would hope that anybody who is at least 30 and born in Texas would know it!!

[@REDMEAT1969]

Most who have heard it think Hayes wrote it...haha

[@njenney]

@@REDMEAT1969 on Austin City Limits Ray said he cowrote it with Hayes.

[@81dbenson]

Thumbs up for Louis L'Amour!

Dear fucking God....how did it take me until 2019 to find this man!?

[@tcsmith9924]

I love Texas music!! Beats the crap outta that new Nashville SH*T. IMHO

[@hhhvchbfhn7973]

Texas country my ass! RWH is from Oklahoma not no damn Texas

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

​@@hhhvchbfhn7973he moved here when he was 8. In 1954... He left before he got any on him. He's a Texan now..

[@nomad4901]

Likely the greatest song ever. NO SHIT. Short road map of my life.

[@mig25foxbat73]

After watching Yellowstone....damn this music is different than others....

[@charliethorntonbrotherstil2136]

This is real music, not that bullshit that you hear today on the radio. P.S. My Dad read every book that Louis L'Amour wrote!

[@therosarylady]

Mine too!!

[@zackt112]

she danced with the dead at the pyramids..! :) thanks music fog....yet again you have made my day!

[@mig25foxbat73]

[@goldencountry]

This is what real music sounds like :D

[@ericsimpson1176]

Nashville sucks

[@maximilianrockefeller8854]

Ray is a national treasure.

[@joeyparadis3650]

Boy! I love RWH so much. How he got through this song with that flat B string is more than I could bear. 😂 Doesn’t matter, he’s Ray Wylie Hubbard, can play it with four missing strings and I’m right there. Great poet! (Cool glasses)

[@maryvaughn7886]

It's not about perfection but artistry & realism and it becomes perfect as it is.

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

Yep, it added to his largely solo effort compared to the studio version on the album.

[@BlackAsBlack]

You noticed! Good for you. Awesome how he caught you, huh?

[@nomad4901]

Sweet Jesus. You wrote my life's anthem. We may have even crossed paths at some point. Thx

[@gregorygraham2637]

TO ALL RWH is the best one of a kind best kept secrets in music today he is one of a kind a true troubadour of his life and times hope all can catch a show PEACE!

[@highway39]

Does he have a sister in law in Lago Vista?

[@ghostvictor6206]

good lord. ray is the truth.

[@spentsnow2977]

Some things are just cooler than hell.

[@brandonframpton1558]

Can't get this song out of my head, thankfully...

[@jamiehoffman2848]

Hell ya

[@fromhere54]

Late at night, around a campfire with a bunch of friends- classic.

[@beanseff]

Ray is higher than a kite flown by an astronaut....I love it

[@anneddy7857]

He’s been sober for 30 something years

[@danthebeachman]

Just love Ray Wylie.....he's outrageous....and tells the truth.....where else are you going to get the truth today....the only place I know of is in Music!!

[@luanaphegley9763]

GODDAMN That drummer is good

[@kaseykingery6217]

I love the harmonica in Texas and Okie country music.

[@awakened6755]

One of the best writers that the music industry will ever see

[@jeffballentine3951]

Kind of amazing to think that RWH, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zant, Joe Ely, REK, Steve Earle, Billy Joe Shaver, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Lyle Lovett, Butch Hankcock...and all those ill think of as soon as I post this... all came out of the same state within just a few years of each other!!! Thank you Texas from East Tennessee!!! Before ya'll write me a dirty reply, I didn't put Willie in because he's older and Jerry Jeff's from New Jersey! Lol

[@garydawson4259]

Ray Wyle is from Soper Oklahome

[@gregmiller5907]

within a few miles of each other also

[@johnrogers3553]

Actually RWH is from soper Oklahoma thats about 30 miles from me

[@johnrogers3553]

Theres a few more that are consider texas music that were from Oklahoma but actually they comined it all in one and considered it texas / Oklahoma red dirt music

[@timthomas4294]

Atoka ok

[@tonyfishback]

I Love this music, I can feel it.

[@wolfil8019]

This is a truly amazing song! About my dream!

[@johnhenderson3646]

The perfect song. Perfect.

[@madman2541]

[@awhiteguyandwhiskey7584]

[@859mothertruckers5]

and Warren Zevon

[@debivancleave5106]

And a little Bruce.

[@hartsickdisciple]

I love both Hayes and Ray Wylie's versions of this song. I think RWH has a more consistent vocal performance live. It's amazing how they can play basically the same song and have it feel so different. The lyrical differences are great too!

[@auntymoi]

Hayes is way more polished vocally

[@hartsickdisciple]

@@auntymoi It sounds that way on their records, but I've seen both Hayes and RWH live several times. Hayes has very inconsistent live vocal performances. RWH always sounds the same to me.

[@trey3216]

Damn. What an incredible tune. That's all I got

[@williamwilliams7525]

Love Rays style and sound. Love to fire up a hooter some Jack on the rocks and dig his sound

[@maryvaughn7886]

My Lord these old artists like RWH still stop me dead in my tracks & remember......better days

[@WarrenFloyd-xr2js]

R W H was and still awesome!😎👍

[@coyotecreekblues6935]

I loved this song from the first lines "I love a woman who's wild ass wrong/she likes being naked and gazed upon." Let me guess, the 257 people that didn't like the song probably weren't from Texas... too bad for them.

[@davidlund3420]
