Hudson Ford ORIG UK Promo LP Repertoire EX ’76 Strawbs Velvet Opera Folk rock 

Richard Hudson John Ford Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera

Hudson Ford

Repertoire

Rare UK Promo Only LP released in the 1976 on Arnakata Music. Cat: ARN5001.  

Though best known for their membership in The Strawbs, the rhythm section of John Ford (bass) and Richard Husdon (drums) worked together both before and after their '70 - '73 stint with the folk-prog band. Previously with Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, and then The Velvet Opera, the duo moved on from the songwriting disputes of The Strawbs to form Hudson Ford in 1975. The two are well matched: in The Strawbs, Hudson would play low in the mix, often leaving the kit for entire songs to sing or play sitar, while Ford danced into the gap by playing a strongly precussive style of bass guitar. Their sound for Hudson Ford, though, ranged from McCartney-esque soft rock to glam, with a occasional nod to their electric folk past. Rare Promo only compilation album.
