musicfog.com Ray Wylie Hubbard unleashes his classic "Snake Farm" upon an unsuspecting Threadgill's audience at the Music Fog Showcase during SXSW 2010.
For my bachelor party we rented a lake house in Oregon and did a bunch of shrooms. This song came on and we put it on repeat for 3 hours just hysterically laughing. Ray is a legend and forever in my heart.

When me and my husband had just gotten married, we were on our honeymoon like a day after our wedding and turned on our hotel room tv. We scrolled through the channels and suddenly a live version of this song came on, right at the chorus. We looked at each other quizzically and then both burst out laughing at the lyrics! It’s a core memory that we look back on and chuckle at. To this day we sometimes bust out singing, “snake farm!” And it always makes us laugh. For that reason I will forever be grateful for this song

Although I don’t listen regularly, I listen to this one to remind me “life is too serious to be taken TOO seriously”. Take a chance every day. If you woke up, you e been given one…take it and carry on.

Well folks take it from a music lover whose big brother took him to many of the major rock concerts in Atlanta in the 70`s. Ray Wylie Hubbard is one the finest musician/vocalists in American contemporary music history. He and his musical collaborators don`t have to hide behind computerized technology to entertain us. Their pure talent is so refreshing to me delivered in an uncluttered sonic format making it easy to let the stories take you away from the present.
