In the 'Good Music on YouTube' thread, I've mentioned the group Blackberry Smoke. One of their songs (Good One Coming On) contains the verse:

"...throw in Ray Wylie Hubbard,
sing along to "Redneck Mother",
any blues I had before are gone..."

Well, I didn't know who he was, and had never heard of the song, which is actually "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother". So...To the YouTube!!!

While looking for Ray and the redneck song, I came across this vid of Ray Wylie Hubbard explaining what went on to cause this song to be written. The story is told at Jerry Jeff Walker's Birthday Bash a few years ago (I think).

It gets funnier every time I watch it.

Every great story should start: "One time we was at this hootenanny..."
