Early life
Ray Wylie grew up in southeastern town of
Hugo, Oklahoma. His family moved to
Oak Cliff in south
Dallas,
Texas in 1954. He attended Adamson High School with
Michael Martin Murphey, who had his own
band at the time. Hubbard graduated in 1965 and enrolled in college as an English major. He spent the summers in
Red River, New Mexico playing folk music.
Career
During his time in New Mexico, Hubbard wrote "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother", made famous by
Jerry Jeff Walker's 1973 recording. 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 to recording with
Lost Train of Thought
in 1992 and
Loco Gringo's Lament
in 1994.
Today Ray Wylie Hubbard is an elder statesman of the
Texas music scene. From
New Braunfels, 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.
