BOB HUGHES BAND - THE KIDS ARE OK! Private Puddlebrook records label- recorded in february 1978. Rare folk/ folk rock UK LP in singer songwriter direction.

Bob Hughes recorded three albums at the Spaceward Studios in Cambridge between 1976 and 1978. Then, in the eighties, he released three others discs, this time, in a studio located in the Lake District, in North of England... before to come back in studio last year, to record Breakfast in Gaza with his last band, Coolbox. Today, I'll present only two of them, his first record (My Old Man) and The Kids Are Ok!, that are very different. But both of them are truly fantastic and unfortunately, not well-known. Then, an exclusive and very interesting interview with Bob Hughes himself who accepted to play the game. Thanks so much Bob.

So, My Old Man is the first release of Bob Hughes, a great musician and singer/songwriter. It was recorded in only one session of 12 hours (two sessions for the The Kids Are Ok!), with the help of the guitarist Ron Turner (aka The Boy) and Carmen Cinque (Chic) who added extra vocals. What is very impressing, regarding the quality of the LP, a lost folk classic album? There is not much to say except it's beautiful, touching and poignant.

The Kids Are Ok! is a step in a new world. Firstly, it's the work of a band, The Bob Hughes Band which comprised of Bob Hughes (12 string guitar, 6 string guitar and vocals) and 5 talented musicians: John Kaliski (lead guitar, bass guitar, vocals), Alan Buxton (same as John), Gary Moore (drums), Adrian Nash (keyboards and vocals) and Ron Turner (lead guitar). Secondly, this album is much more folk rock than My Old Man, with plenty of electric guitar. Melodies are so catchy they will stay in your head for days, I tell ya! Highly recommended.
