5.0 out of 5 stars Jonesing for More!, September 25, 2004

This is easily the most accomplished of all of Cary's work that I am aware of. There is not a bad song and he touches all the bases that we have come to know him for. Alt-country/alt rock gems, blues rockers and acoustic blues and folk and some great dog howls.
Cary has made a lot of great music in his career and this is a masterpiece. I am already jonesing for more!

Fans of Blue Mountain won't be disappointed in this CD. Cary has stepped it up a notch, and turned up the distortion a bit, but his old time country and blues background are still here. The guy can flat out play some mean guitar, and also write a great song. If you can catch Cary live, don't miss it. He is a treasure who needs to get the recognition he deserves.

Howard Hawks famously said that to make a good movie, you need three good scenes and no bad ones. Maybe the same can be said of albums. This solo effort by Cary Hudson certainly has, by my count, four great songs with the rest being very, very good. Check with me in four months and my list of which are the four great songs would probably be different. Production achieves that rare balance where lyrics come through clear and bright even on those songs featuring Cary's loud, nasty (in the best sense) grungish guitar playing. These are interwoven with marvelous acoustic ballads. Top it off with a coda featuring singing hound dogs and you have a minor masterpiece.

Add this to the list of great works by male singer / songwriters that exist, however tenuously, under the mass market radar. Some others: Mickey Jupp (Juppanese), Garland Jeffreys (Ghost Writer), and Guy Clark (Old No. 1).
