    Hearing stories of the old troubadours of Texas, the road always leads to time spent in California. Hearing Texas "icon" Ray Wylie Hubbard tell a story, it almost sounds like a song... one inspired by life's roadside stops. At 73 (he just played the Opry for the first time, just released what might be his coolest album yet called "Co-Starring", with an even cooler lineup of guests, and on the smash pop-country label "Big Machine" no doubt), Ray's no intention to stop writing now. "I just didn't want to peak too early." he jokes.
