      •••words & music by Grayson Hugh•••
Feel like hearin' music
rollin' down the hood
you can blast it on the rooftop baby
up there it sounds so good
make sure when you turn it up
it's doin' what it should  -  git down 

Long as you can feel it, that's alright
long as you can feel it, groove all night
darlin' can't you feel it, that rock and roll?
long as we can feel it, it's got soul

It came in through the country and the city too
come down in the delta and the fields
sung in church where every word was true
no matter where you're from
who you are, what you do  - git down  

Long as you can feel it, that's alright
long as you can feel it, groove all night
darlin' can't you feel it, that rock and roll?
long as we can feel it, it's got soul

Oh now you just can't explain
how the music makes you feel
goes right past your brain into your bones
into your heart to what is really real
do you feel - feel, feel, feel, feel?

Watchin' my baby move real good
up and down the floor
like havin' cake and sweet love and coffee all together
makin' me want some more and more

Long as you can feel it, that's alright
long as you can feel it, groove all night
darlin' can't you feel it, that rock and roll?
long as we can feel it, it's got soul
long as you can feel it, that's alright
long as you can feel it, groove all night
darlin' can't you feel it, that rock and roll?
long as we can feel it, it's got soul
it’s got soul, it’s got soul
it’s got soul, it’s got soul
it’s got soul

Grayson Hugh And Allen Boogie Gowan Interview Feb 26 2016

FRIDAY NIGHT BLUE

 "Grayson Hugh, like soul music idols Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye, is at his absolute best when wearing his heart on his sleeve and being totally transparent. In fact, Hugh goes way beyond keeping it real – he keeps it honest. 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.

The one quality of Hugh’s career that stands out to me, besides his talent, is patience, and Back to the Soul is a patient record. Hugh is an expert storyteller who doesn’t rush his delivery. He allows the stories contained in his songs to unwind and that will bring a sense of satisfaction and a deeper appreciation of his struggles and gifts with each listen. 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."

  - Howard Dukes, SoulTracks.com, August 17, 2015

Acclaimed singer-songwriter & blue-eyed soul legend Grayson Hugh returns to his southern soul roots with this exciting album of twelve new songs, featuring his passionate singing, deep poetic lyrics, masterful piano and organ playing, and one of the most hard-grooving and funkiest bands south of the Mason-Dixon line.
