Chad Hudson All we can say is this record is the perfect way to get to know Chad Hudson and just how versatile he is when it comes to writing and delivering a song. Tracks range from the sounds of Texas Swing and Texas Music, to the glam of Contemporary Country and 80’s Rock. “That is why songwriting is so much fun. There are no boundaries as to what you can imagine or feel. And there are no rules as what or why you write those words on a page and BELIEVE it. When I write a song, a part of me is in that song. I have lived, imagined, or believe what I am singing about.” –Chad Hudson So to hear those words and then to hear his music, Chad brings an honesty and realness to his music without sacrificing the ability to keep us commercially entertained. His voice offers a unique gravelly texture, which holds passion with every line he sings. His voice is a perfect combination of Jon Bon Jovi, Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), and John Mellencamp. What’s not to like, already?? “Roman Candle” and “100 Degrees In The Shade” are songs about exciting love, and about being young kids and growing up barefoot and crazy. Songs that reach deep inside like “I’m Not Gonna Die Today” show us just how our soldiers fighting here and abroad must feel as they reflect on their families back home. Or, the same song could be the thoughts of terminally ill patients comforting their families. “All About The Music” and “A Little Rain Coming Down” ring in the ultimate in Texas Music, while songs like “Say When”, “By Now”, and “Stay A Little Bit Longer” remind us of why Nashville cranks out the radio hits. “Feels Like Church” is just a song that completely stands on its own and shows us that our spirituality can be achieved through all that we do in life. It’s in our every day living and not just one morning a week. Every song is strong and intended to show just a little different side of Chad. It takes all of these life experiences and big imaginations to give you a record that truly keeps you smiling about the past and cherishing the present, while looking forward to the future! “People say you can’t really write what you feel, keep it real, and try to keep everyone happy at the same time. I say you can if you dig down deep inside and try hard enough. There are always going to be people who don’t like your music, and there are going to be those who throw rocks at what others love. But in the words of a good friend and Texas music legend, Ray Hennig, he says ‘I’m glad we don’t all like the same things. Because if we did, all the boys would be after my wife.’” -Chad Hudson Take the time to dig in and get to know Chad Hudson and you won’t be disappointed. It’s the perfect blend of Texas and Tennessee. The Austin to Nashville connection, which is a rare but often sought after sound. Sit back and ENJOY!!
