He's got it all. Poise and personality. Compelling blue eyes. Blonde Keith Urbanish hair. A marketable face with heartthrob written all over it.

Have seen Rick play twice and met him in person. He is the biggest hidden musical gem in the country. He is a truly nice guy, the kind of person you want to see have success, and he will be successful because he has a sound like no one else. He wont be hidden for long! Do yourself a favor, and go see him play if you can, he puts on a great show.

Great article! We are proud of the Huckabay boys in Louisiana! Like their Dad, they are true winners with many "records" to set. Keep up the good work, we are all behind you!!

Good for Coach Huck's kid(s). Glad they've found their snitch in life.
I'm praying they will win like their dad did, but doing it the right way, unlike Huck did at Marshall. That ended up as a embarrassing mess. Poor guy as barred from coaching ever again in the NCAA.
Hopefully, his boys learned from their dad's mistakes.

I recall that I used to have a huge calendar/schedule of Marshall University's basketball team which depicted Coach Rick Huckabay as "The Incredible Huck!" Since green was Marshall's color, it fit perfectly.

As a musician, hopefully young Rick Huckaby will be a chip off the old Huck. Best of fortunes, young man. May your "green" come in the form of music royalties.
