Grayson Hugh first burst on the music scene with his 1988 RCA album “Blind To Reason”, which earned him comparisons to soul greats such as Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. The record also contained songs that would climb the R & B and Pop charts such as “Talk It Over”, “Bring It All Back”, and “How Bout Us”(duet with Betty Wright). “Blind To Reason” went Gold in the U.S. and overseas. In addition, Hugh’s live shows wowed audiences around the world with his passionate soulful singing and masterful piano playing.
His second release “Road To Freedom” on MCA in 1992 was called one of that year’s Top Ten Albums by Billboard Magazine. Songs from that record were featured in the Oscar-winning films “Thelma and Louise” and “Fried Green Tomatoes”.
