Here is what others say: "HUDSON AND THE HOO DOO CATS certainly uphold the best Austin traditions. They smoke, swing and slither in a swampy way. These cats scratch out sexy boogie with ripsaw guitar, slinky bass, and pile-driving beats besides whiskey soaked vocals. They also feature a drummer who surprisingly writes and is the lead singer. So get HOO_DOOED. Hell, it’s good for you." Twin Cities Reader, Minneapolis,Minnesota Cat's meow- The self described JumpSwinginRockinBoogieBluesabilly trio has been a mainstay around town for years. The band has shared the stage with Chuck Berry, the Brian Setzer Orchestra and the Royal Crown Revue. A combination of 1940s' jump blues and swing, 1950s' rockabilly and a steady dance beat have made Hudson Harkins, John Logan and Mike Graham crowd favorites. St. Louis Post Dispatch, St. Louis, Missouri "These guys are talented, versatile, easy to work with, and GREAT fun. We had a blast performing with ‘em." Jim Belushi and Joe Piscapo Station Casino, Kansas City "Formerly from Austin, Texas, these St.Louis-based Cats cover all the bluesy bases, from Clarence "Frogman" Henry to Wynonie Harris to Louis Jordan to Carl Perkins. But we like the silly Southern humor of their swinging originals, namely "I Like Kitties" and " I Got Love For You That’s Stronger Than Super Glue." Check ‘em out." The Dallas Morning News, Dallas, Texas "Take Texas natives with a bad case of the blues, dust ‘em with swing, season with rockabilly, garnish with strong voices and serve hot." The New Orleans Times Picayune "HUDSON AND THE HOO DOO CATS deliver clean arrangements of tunes written in swing, rockabilly and blues idioms, and when the tune is their own, it will probably be about mowing lawns, ways women do their hair, or how Harkins likes women a little bit fat, but will sound familiar enough to make most any St.Louis bar crowd shake bootie." The Riverfront Times, St.Louis, Missouri "HUDSON AND THE HOO DOO CATS’ UP TO NOW(HEAVY SET RECORDS): This St.Louis rockabilly group has been around for a long time. This new CD shows why. Hudson Harkins’ vocals are the highlight and the great lyrics are right behind. Well produced. We give it 4 stars!" The Midwest Music Review, St.Louis, Missouri "Born from the mixed media Music of the South, these cats blend swing, rockabilly, blues and funky soul to create a unique sound. Led by drummer Hudson Harkins, the cats have won rave revies for their diverse approach to southern blues." Bay Beat-North Wisconsin’s Entertainment & Arts Weekly
