Ray Wylie Hubbard - Grifter's Hymnal

The opening track of 'The Grifter's Hymnal', Coricidin Bottle, tells you everything you need to know about Ray Wylie Hubbard in just under two minutes. He's hte kind of scrapper poet with the devil-may-care wherewithall to write both lay down a groove like a monkey gettin' off and shakes teh mortal coil round my amaranthine soul into the same song- and the lethal charm and chops to pull it off. The album really does have a lot of attitude, Hubbard proclaims. The sound he was aiming for - and bulls-eyed- recalls many of his favorite rock records of the '60s, with equal doses of Small Faces, Rolling Stones and Buffalo Springfield.
