about
In May of 2010, after a silence of fifteen years, Grayson Hugh released "An American Record". This long-awaited recording heralds the return of this internationally acclaimed singer/ songwriter and masterful pianist. In the words of one music journalist: "Grayson Hugh has been there and back again. His story - our story - has to be heard". This Connecticut-born artist released his 1988 RCA Debut “Blind To Reason”, that spawned several radio hits in the States, U.K. and in Europe. The record went gold in the United States and Australia, and his music videos were in heavy rotation on VH1. Riding the success of this album, Hugh wowed audiences around the world with his passionate, high energy live performances. Hugh's follow-up record “Road To Freedom” (MCA 1992) was produced by the late Bernard Edwards of Chic fame. This album, arranged by Hugh and featuring a more rootsy rock and soul band, garnered much critical success. Billboard Magazine called it one of 1992’s top-ten albums. Upon hearing an advance pressing of "Road To Freedom", director Ridley Scott personally requested two of Hugh's songs from the record to be featured in his film "Thelma and Louise". Yet another song from the record became the end-title song for hit 1991 film "Fried Green Tomatoes". The music industry was impressed and his legion of fans was devoted but, in a classic tale of record company mismanagement, by 1994 Hugh, through no fault of his own, found himself without a label and on his own.
