Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on November 13, 1946)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Ray Wylie Hubbard, a gentleman who's spent four decades teaching us all how to rock roadhouses, charm rednecks, and survive tequila adventures. Ever since you delivered "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother," you've proved that aging gracefully isn't nearly as fun as aging rebelliously—and thankfully you're doing both!

From gritty Texas stages to recent celebrated collaborations and acclaimed releases, your authentic storytelling continues to inspire generations. Here's hoping this birthday finds you surrounded by good guitars, seasoned friends, and enough humor and outlaw spirit to keep all the redneck mothers guessing. Cheers Ray—keep showing us how it's done!
