Jodi, naw, I'm more of a Kevin Fowler or Jason Aldean fan; hell, basically anyone who sings about ammo, sexy trucks and tractors, I'm there...I'll have to look into this "country blues" you speak of...
Mother Hubbard, I'm finding it amusing that you're taking these opinions -- and remember that's all they are -- so hard...makes me think we've hit on a sore spot for you...this can't be the first time RWH has had a critical comment made about him, right?...why, you've made numerous ones about me just in this thread alone, and I know for a fact that you've never heard my music or lyrics...anyway, it's been fun, but life does, indeed, go one...here's to all the RWH defenders, y'all are true fans...hope to see y'all at a show sometime.
Life's too short to tread lightly...speak your piece and back it up...plus, he's definitely going to end up in one of mine...so let the games begin!

Naw Mother Hubbard, you didn't piss me off, but I'm not a fan of your husband's music or his attitude concerning some of his more popular songs...I'm from Texas, so I'm quite acquainted with his work...and Mark, if Ray Wylie believes "Screw You" is ironic, then he doesn't understand irony. Brian, you're clueless my friend...that MySpace page hasn't been active for years...I'd be glad to send you a copy of my new CD, which Creative Loafing has ignored, if you want...but I want to warn you, it's more than just boogie rhythms and repeated lines...might actually cause a synapse to fire, which I'm sure you're not used to.
Probably the most overrated Texas singer-songwriter ever...do yourself a favor and seek out guys like Brian Burns, Chris Wall, Jerrod Medulla, Ronnie Spears, etc., who are actually talented.
Oh, and there's this too: According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).
