“With his feet firmly rooted in the soul and blues of Memphis and New Orleans, Hugh has crafted a record that is about as eloquently biographical as a music project can be. This album beautifully completes a more than three decade story of a talented artist who, after too many years away, found his way back to his musical home. Strongly Recommended."

"In a world where music is often a brittle artificiality, the music that Grayson Hugh makes is hard and strong, convicted and convincing. And true. He has that thing Sam Cooke and Ray Charles had, that thing you still hear sometimes in Bruce Springsteen, that lonely, train whistle in the dark thing, that yearning, keening thing that gets right to the heart of what it means to be alive, what it means to be a human being.
On his new CD, Grayson Hugh sings of blue twilight turning black, and a thunderstorm looming of the horizon, of a catlike girl on a Boston train and an angel walking down on concrete, of life that flickers like a candle and of flying high above the tears. He sings of who we are beneath the artifice, what we regret beneath gleaming contrivance and how, at the end of the day, when everything else has conspired to pull us apart, love mends us together again.
This is ‘An American Record’. Some of us are glad the wait is over at last.”

Grayson Hugh's 1992 MCA record “Road To Freedom” was called “One Of The Top Ten Albums Of 1992” by Billboard Magazine. It also caught the attention of Hollywood. Director Ridley Scott requested the use of Grayson's songs “I Can‘t Untie You From Me” and the country rocker “Don’t Look Back” for his 1991 Oscar-winning film “Thelma and Louise”. And for the ending credits spot in another 1991 film “Fried Green Tomatoes”, Director Jon Avnet used Grayson's version of Bob Dylan's “I'll Remember You”, that Cleveland City Reports called “a gospel assault that could raise the dead."
