Profile GeneratorBIOGRAPHY
Cary Hudson first became recognized as a pioneer of a new music movement in the
late eighties while joined in songwriting partnership with John Stiratt (WILCO) in
The Hilltops, an alt-country band born out of Mississippi. When Stiratt left The
Hilltops to play bass in Uncle Tupelo and then Wilco, Cary Hudson formed the
widely-popular Blue Mountain that captured critical acclaim and gained cult status
among its followers. After enjoying a long and successful run, and
several popular releases on Roadrunner Records, Blue Mountain disbanded and
Cary Hudson embarked on his solo career. With his solo releases, Cary Hudson has
perfected the roots rock-n-roll tradition in a new, stripped down, grittier style that
returns roots rock to its roots. His releases and performances have been
well-received by both critics and fans alike, proving that Cary Hudson can
transition from pioneer to powerful solo songwriter and musician. His solo releases
continue to redefine the music that launched a movement.Critical Acclaim"His confidence, both as a songwriter and player, radiates from every tune." Harp, Aug. 2004"Enormously influential on the burgeoning mid-90s alt-country genre Cary Hudson proved himself to be as multi-faceted as Neil Young." American Songwriter"There is genuine grit and dirt here, separating him from the vacancy and sentimentality of his Americana contemporaries." Mojo"A primal power within the stripped-down urgency of the arrangements." No Depression Cary appeared with Blue Moutain on the cover of the second issue of No Depression Magazine!CARY ON U-TUBE doing Skinnydippin' on Michelle Roche's porch: doin' Butterfly in Dallas: |
