Mike Hudson Unmedicated

Mike Hudson's first full length solo release after a 30 year music career. Mike Hudson was best known for being the lead vocalist of the Cleveland legendary 70's punk band PAGANS. This release includes guest musicians Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys) & others.

After Mike's brother Brian Hudson (Pagans drummer) died in 1991, Mike left Cleveland and moved to New York where he fell into a six year binge. Within those six years, all the tracks on this CD were recorded. You can hear the sadness in Mike's voice, on tracks "Brian Always Said" & "Nothing". There are a lot of upbeat tracks as well, like "Downtown Beirut", "At The Party" & " All Fall Down". Listen to the lyrics of the opening track "Anything". It tells a tale of a man at the end of his luck, holding on to what little he had.

This release is straight from the heart... Real rock n' roll all the way! Like the ways of the Pagans, these tracks are raw with loads of energy. I'm very proud & honored to be able to release this CD for Mike Hudson. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
