About Ray Wylie Hubbard
Ray Wylie Hubbard, American country singer-songwriter and guitarist While he was in New Mexico, Hubbard wrote "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother" first made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker's 1973 recording, and covered by a wide variety of other artists since. The last album he recorded in the 1980s was Caught in the Act (1984) on his newly formed Misery Loves Company record label. Unbeknownst to Hubbard, producer Michael Brovsky had decided to "Nashville-ize" the sound by adding overdub mixes and female backup singers to the recordings. Hubbard then recorded albums for various other labels for the next decade, but struggled with the sales of his mix of country, folk and blues.
