Ray Wylie Hubbard

In the 1970’s 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 1990’s with Lost Train of Thought (1992) and  Loco Gringo’s Lament (1994). He has since become an elder statesman of the Texas music scene. Like some other Americana artists, he is perhaps as popular in Europe as in the US; he has been invited by record companies in the Netherlands to produce albums.. His most recent recordings have been produced by Texas guitarist Gurf Morlix.
