The Hudson Rocket Band - Nov '09
Written by Administrator Thursday, 29 October 2009 06:23
Some of you have wondered why there hasn’t been anything in the BluesNotes about The HRB for awhile. Well, the road to “now” has had many turns. (The loss of our last founding member, the passing of Vince, and so many personnel changes.) Fortunately, that old road led us to a great place with Cordless Cliff, Mickie Will, Gaddis Cavenah, & James Ruby at the helm. The Rocket is flying stronger than ever! Our newest CD “No Cover” is selling well and has met with fantastic reviews. (You can hear it on KMHD!) The band is writing its own material, and the CD reflects this change of direction. Pick up a copy and check it out at one of our shows or www.hudsonrocket.com.
Blues By The Sea was a great show this year and The Hudson’s set was stellar. Many thanks to all that attended and to all those wonderful people that made it happen. It was there that we ran into Hudson, (haven’t heard from him since that incident with the taxi at Trail’s End,) and he was ecstatic about the new and improved Hudson Rocket. He really liked all the new tunes. He said it’s the direction he always had in mind for the band. It was sure good seeing him after all this time, although he didn’t stick around long. Something about Randy Oxford and Billy Stoops taking him for drinks and dinner. Knowing Hudson, we hope their credit cards were paid up!
Come catch the November show at Scottie’s Imbibery in McMinnville on the 21st . We’re looking forward to, as Cordless would say, “too much fun!”
Remember, “We play the Blues so you don’t have to!”
