Ray Wylie Hubbard

Ray Wylie Hubbard

Ray Wylie Hubbard (born 13 November 1946 in Soper, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer and songwriter.

Early life

Ray Wylie grew up in southeastern town of Hugo, Oklahoma. His family moved to Oak Cliff, Texas, in 1954. He attended the same high school as Michael Martin Murphey, who had his own band at the time. He graduated high school in 1965. He later moved to Red River, New Mexico, where he wrote "Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother".

Career

In the 1970s, Hubbard wrote "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother", made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker’s rendition. Hubbard recorded for various labels but struggled with sales; his mix of country, folk and blues elements didn’t find an audience. After leaving the scene and struggling with personal problems, he returned in the early 1990s with Lost Train of Thought (1992) and Loco Gringo's Lament (1994).

Today Ray Wylie Hubbard is an elder statesman of the Texas music scene. From Wimberly, Texas, Hubbard hosts a Tuesday night radio show in called "Roots & Branches". This program promotes new and established Americana artists. Like some other performers in his genre, he is perhaps as popular in Europe as in the US--Hubbard has been invited by record companies in the Netherlands to produce albums. His most recent recordings have been produced by Texas guitarist Gurf Morlix.
