Elsewhere / Ray Wylie Hubbard
Ray Wylie Hubbard

When F. Scott Fitzgerald issued his classic conclusion that ‘There are no second acts in American lives', he failed to envision the career of legendary Texas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard. A willing conspirator in the late seventies Cosmic Cowboy revolt that ushered in the mythical Outlaw era, Hubbard was a catalyst in the cultural upheaval that led to the peaceful coexistence of Lone Star music enthusiasts who comprised each end of the social and political spectrum of that troubled time. In the stellar company of iconic colleagues like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker, Ray Wylie Hubbard was an architect of the musical legacy that continues to inspire subsequent generations of up-and-coming Texas talent. If one wanted to describe the sound of Ray Wylie Hubbard, one could call it American music, born from the time-honoured traditions of folk, country and roots rock.
