They liked “Hudson River View”:
“I like it! My kids like it!” –Robbie Fulks, musician
“Hudson River View, the latest disc from Karen Hudson is simply her best recording to date... with songs in a vain similar to Linda Ronstadt’s work with The Stone Pony’s...Hudson’s honey dipped vocals can be both frisky and heartbreaking...but the highlight here is the stunning “Hudson River Blue” one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Hudson nails this one with her exquisite singing while draining the heartbreak and emotion the song deserves.
—Bob Silvestri, Best of Western New York
“...she celebrates the release of her new self-released EP, Hudson River View, which offers five sweet ways to look at your breaking, broken, or completely destroyed heart situation.”
—Time Out NY
“...Fans of Tift Merritt, Kelly Willis, Sheryl Crow and, yeah, Gretchen Wilson should check this out. Hudson gets extra props for the cd’s pristine, old-school production— all hers.”
—Trifectagram (Alan Young)
“Karen is a model of the artist who not only gives of her talents, but is always ready to do what she can to make her home a thriving arts community.”
—Peter Ferko, President, Artists Unite-NY
“Ms. Hudson’s interest in implementing arts programming has made her a respected and visible community member ...her diligence and dedication to creating a neighborhood that is rich in culture and community...her interest in other people’s growth and enriching their lives is an asset.”
