Cary Hudson's former outfit, Blue Mountain, was responsible for some of alt-country's highpoints--particularly 1995's Dog Days and 1997's Home Grown--yet somehow they never seemed to break through to the next level commercially or artistically. Now, after the dissolution of the band (and a divorce from bandmate Laurie Stirratt), Hudson emerges with his first solo album, which finds his meaty, greasy Southern blend of country, folk, blues, and rock fully intact. Hudson can tackle a souped-up version of Blind Willie Johnson's Texas blues "God Don't Never Change" and lay back for his own gentle "August Afternoon" with equal success. Led by his soaring guitar and fueled by his contagious enthusiasm, Hudson seems ready to claim his place among the genre's leading figures. --Marc Greilsamer
