Thanks for the info. Although I blundered, I’m heartened to know that his passing was acknowledged here the day the news broke.
My mother lived a couple of houses (mobile homes, actually) away from his mother for several years in the 1970s. He was definitely his mother's son.
“After 20 years, he still grieves”.
A great line that I’m still living.
May God bless him and his family.
No, Ray Wiley Hubbard did. You might get a kick out of the video of Ray Wiley Hubbard telling the story of the song with Jerry Jeff Walker sitting beside him and enjoying the story.
Thank you. will try to watch it tonight
He’s 34 and drinking in a honkey tonk just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
One of my favorite songs. Also love London homesick blues
That’s a great link, there. I forgot Hubbard wrote it, I only have the JJW version.
“Didn’t he write (not sure of the title) Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother”
No, that was Ray Wylie Hubbard
“Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’s got us feudin’
Like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams’ pain songs
And Jerry Jeff’s train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain”
Songwriters: B. Emmons, C. Moman
Which one the them screwed him? or did all of them?.../s
One of my favorite songs is his Hill Country Rain (?) about his home near Austin, Texas. Beautiful, just beautiful.
RIP
Saw him at Gruene Hall a few years back. His voice gave out after about half the set, but the first few songs were classic Jerry Jeff. Gettin’ by on gettin’ by!
Growing up here on the Texas coast, his music was a huge part of my misspent youth. Lots of drinks and tokes with JJW playing. He’s known for Mr. Bojangles and Up Against the Wall, but the off-tracks on Viva Terlingua were his best work IMO. Desperados Waiting for a Train, the Wheel and Backslider’s Wine.
Adios and RIP Jerry Jeff.
Here's an old one...
And here he was, sorta doing Roger Miller...
“Didn’t he write (not sure of the title) Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother”
He didn’t write it but he made it famous and it was based on a true event in songwriter Ray Hubbard’s life.

Met him and Willie Nelson one day at a golf course I worked at back in college. They were coming up off the course after finishing. Willie was high as a kite, JJW was very drunk. Willie was super cool, JJW was far from it. He must’ve lost a huge bet on 18.
I visited a home he had in the early 80s, in of all places, Maine
