Check out Oklahoma-Texas music icon Ray Wylie Hubbard's gritty new song “Outlaw Blood” featuring up-and-coming country music star Ashley McBryde. 

In a behind-the-scenes video, Hubbard says he's a big fan of the emerging Nashville renegade, so he was thrilled that McBryde was willing to sing on his new tough girl homage.

As previously reported, Wylie, who hails from Soper but was raised and lives in Texas, officially joined the roster at Big Machine Records earlier this year.

"Outlaw Blood" is the second advance track from Hubbard’s forthcoming album,"Co-starring," which will be his debut release on Big Machine.

As previously reported, theeclectic 10-track collection due July 10 via Big Machine Records, features musicians ranging from Country Music Hall of Famer and former Tulsan Ronnie Dunn to the on-the-rise group The Cadillac Three as his collaborators.

Other contributors on Hubbard's to his 17th studio album include bluegrass and folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” SiriusXM powerhouses Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on the randy “Drink ‘Til I See Double,” and the trippy country-rocker Aaron Lee Tasjan on the elegiac “Rock Gods.”

As previously reported, the first advance track from the album is the recently released swampy tune "Bad Trick,” featuring all-stars Ringo Starr, Don Was, Joe Walsh and Chris Robinson. Check out the star-studded video for "Bad Trick" here. 

Hubbard conceptualized and produced "Co-starring," which is available for pre-order now.
