Texan Ray Wylie Hubbard flirted with early success after one of his songs, “Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother,” was made a hit by Austin outlaw country vet Jerry Jeff Walker in the early 1970s. But Hubbard’s songwriting style—too folk to be country, too bluesy to be folk—made him a hard sell for the mainstream, and he languished in relative obscurity until the ‘90s, when a solid string of indie releases caught on with a small but dedicated listening audience. Hubbard has been touring and releasing music steadily over the past couple decades; his latest LP, this year’s The Ruffian’s Misfortune, is the second in a planned trilogy that began with 2012’s The Grifter’s Hymnal.
