Ray Wylie Hubbard has released the single “Bad Trick” featuring an all-star guest lineup of Ringo Starr, Don Was, Joe Walsh and Chris Robinson. The tune establishes the tone of his gritty upcoming new 10-track collection CO-STARRING, due out July 10 on Big Machine Records.

Hubbard conceptualized and produced CO-STARRING, his 17^th studio album, which includes bluegrass/folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” Ashley McBryde on the tough girl homage “Outlaw Blood,” Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on “Drink ‘Til I See Double” and Aaron Lee Tasjan on “Rock Gods.”

“I have believed in the rule that one should not sing their own praises, but with my new record on Big Machine Records, well I’m going to have to break that rule,” said Hubbard. “Co-Starring has got grit, groove, tone and taste and is so righteously cool that small demons will drool, and little angels will want to line dance.”
