Born 80 Years Ago Today in the Sooner State, the Country Rocker Whose Answer to a Merle Haggard Hit Made Him an Outlaw Legend
On this day (November 13) in 1946, Ray Wylie Hubbard was born in Soper, Oklahoma. He started his career as a folk singer before forming a band called the Cowboy Twinkies, which may have been the first country punk band. Hubbard’s song catalog is deep and full of memorable songs. However, Jerry Jeff Walker helped put him on the map when he covered “Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother” on his classic live album Viva Terlingua.

Iraq War Veteran Gets Mortgage-Free Home in Anna, Texas, After Years in RVs
Branden Cason and his family were handed the keys to a new home in Anna, Texas, on Veterans Day, a fresh start for a veteran who was medically retired from the Army after sustaining a traumatic brain injury and other wounds in an improvised explosive device blast during a deployment to Iraq. The home came through Operation Homefront's Permanent Homes for Veterans program, with support from homebuilder Pulte, and the Cason family will own it outright, mortgage-free, once they complete the program.
