For all you Texas Music Lovers: Per RWH's FB page, Letterman requested he come play Mother Blues, but he also wants him to stay and record Screw You, We're From Texas.

(23,664 posts)Daughter and I saw him at Gruene Hall probably 25 years ago. Hadn't heard anything from him recently and I thought he'd hung it up.
It's hard for me to stay up that late but I'll give it a shot.

(838 posts)I recently discovered his music and love it. Mother Blues is off his newest disc...The Grifter's Hymnal and I believe its about the old Mother Blues club in Dallas. I know you've heard of him...I mean everyone knows Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother He still plays all over Texas and I think he's got a gig coming up in Dallas soon.
