Fortunately for us, the new album "The Ruffian's Misfortune" shows the Texas troubadour as his best, growling out his signature evocative, gritty, and often poignant lyrics over roots and blues sounds provided in part by his guitarist son Lucas Hubbard. No auto-tune or heavy effects here - just raw, pure, unbridled music captured as it happened in the studio.
Hubbard took time between tour dates to talk with Matt on Notably Texan. Topics ranged from his upcoming autobiography, to his unforgettable appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Ray's appreciation for bands such as The Bright Light Social Hour, and the often uncredited work behind the scenes by his wife Judy Hubbard.

Notably Texan is heard weekdays from Noon-3pm on KETR.
