Ray Wylie Hubbard
2900 Highland Avenue (Sweetwater High School), National City, 92105
In the 1970s, Ray Wylie Hubbard joined country music outlaws Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson as part of the progressive country vanguard on the Texas music scene. Unlike the clean-cut crooners from Nashville, these Austin and Dallas cowboys grew their hair long and added a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll to their music. A leading figure of the progressive country movement, Hubbard is also well-known for authoring the perennial anthem “Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother,” recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1973.
