Album Notes

Kudzu Kings are a highly energetic and entertaining musical outfit from Oxford, MS. Their sound is a unique blend of country, bluegrass and improvisational rock & roll that appeals to many: young, old and in between.

In their seven years together, the band has gained a strong foothold in the Southeast, filling several prominent music venues, in addition to spreading their talent the rest of the nation and Canada with a number of successful tours. They have shared the stage many times with Widespread Panic, as well as with many other artists, including Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman, Leftover Salmon, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Junior Brown, just to name a few. Kudzu Kings have also welcomed guest musicians to collaborate and sit in for several shows for absent members including Chris Etheridge (Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson), Bucky Baxter (pedal steel and guitar w/ Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Los Lobos), John "Jojo" Hermann (Widespread Panic), and Cody Dickinson (North Mississippi All-Stars) .

Their debut CD was recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble) at the helm. The most recent release, Y2Kow, was co-produced by the band and Jeffrey Reed, one of the two men behind the critically acclaimed Black Dog Records, and protégé to both Gaines and Jim Dickinson, another decorated producer. So far, the Kudzu Kings have sold over l0,000 units with benefit of national distribution and received considerable radio airplay domestically overseas through AAA and college formatted stations.
