Ray Wylie Hubbard graduated from high school in south Oak Cliff and now he's one of Texas Country's most recognizable and sturdy voices.

A worthy steward of both this state's blues and country traditions, Hubbard is the latest to play for our Busking series with Globe Trek Productions. Below, he plays "Count My Blessings."
