For me, its gotta be Buddy.
P.S.: Buddy made everyone want to sing their own way from Lubbock to Liverpool.
(subsequent add for @JayHawkFanToo below.)
As I recall it, Waylon was born in Littlefield, TX mostly spun vinyl in Lubbock, and played joints part time and got picked up by Buddy’s label briefly before the Iowa crash. Tried Nashville on, and then bounced around, Texas, but spent more time in AZ than Texas and finally spent retirement and died of diabetes there.
I don’t recall Vernon, Texas born Roy ever being much of a Lubbock guy, having grown up in Ft. Worth and Wink, but almost everyone blew through Lubbock during and after Buddy briefly. He sang a little with Buddy, so he had to have blown through briefly. Odessa? Yes, briefly. But mostly he went Nashville and then late Traveling Wilburys.
Hoss? I forget where he was from. If you say Lubbock, I will go along to get along.

Actually…that is a pretty good list…

@jaybate-1.0 Well, when Sheldon left LA, after his and Leonard’s apartment was burglarized, and arrived in Bozeman, MT, he refered to citizens of Bozeman as Bozites. And since Sheldon is smarter than anyone on this board, I’ll go with Lubbockites.
-
Long before the Traveling Wilburys he was the only singer to open for Elvis and for the Beatles in Europe where he became a huge star.
-
Oh, yeah, he was great one .
