Music is a generational wealth for Billy Hubbard. His legacy traces back to his mother and her band, Tennessee Pardners, who toured the Southland from the 1940’s through the 1950’s. Billy began songwriting in his teens and the long years of creating music come together with his recent self-titled release. The album compiles unpublished cuts from his vast catalog that stretches back forty years. A low edge rides on the rhythm wrapping around the pleas of “Take Me Back” while Billy Hubbard picks up the pace heading into Sunday morning church with faith in himself for “Got to Be Real”, tenderly whispers “When I Look Into Your Eyes”, and joins Bethany Jean Smith on a duet for “Lonesome When I’m With You”.
 
Other friends stop by for the recording of Billy Hubbard when Charlie McCoy backs the tracks with his harmonica. Shawn Camp helps out in the reading of “Civil War Letters” where Billy Hubbard pens the story of a soldier thinking of home. A soft shuffle plays underneath Billy Hubbard when he is “Castin’ Away My Blues” on a fishing trip while Bethany Jean Smith returns to fingerpoint as Billy stacks up excuses in “Mighty Low”, dancing towards the album exit with “Goodbye Waltz”.
