DICKEY LEE
Never Ending Song Of Love/Ashes Of Love Release date
26.05.17 HUX152 (2 on 1 CD)
Dickey Lee, like so many country singers of the 1960s, came to Nashville
after a career in pop and rock'n'roll music. He travelled a similar road
as Conway Twitty and Jerry Lee Lewis, beginning his recording career in
the mid-1950s at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis.
Throughout the 1970s Dickey Lee was a near fixture on the American
country charts, chalking up an impressive 29 entries including the
chart-topping Rocky and such top 10 hits as 9,999,999 Tears, Angels,
Roses And Rain, Ashes of Love and Never Ending Song Of Love. He was
inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1995.
Dickey Lee is the composer of the country classic, She Thinks I Still
Care, (included here) which has been famously covered by George Jones,
Elvis Presley, Connie Francis and many others.
This CD features Dickey Lee's first two Country music LPs, which were
originally released in 1971 and 1972 on the RCA label. The accompanying
8 page booklet includes full recording details and extensive liner
notes.

MIKE WESTBROOK
Live 1972 Release date
26.05.17 HUX151
Mike Westbrook was a key figure in
the development of British jazz in the 1960s. He has released dozens of
albums over the subsequent decades and is still working today.
This album, now receiving a worldwide release for the first time, is
being issued on Hux Records with the full approval of Mike Westbrook,
who has written the liner note and provided the band photograph for the
cover booklet.
This CD has been remastered by Jon Hiseman of Colosseum.
As Mike Westbrook recalls in his liner note for this CD booklet, this
band only existed for a few weeks at the beginning of 1972. By the time
of his studio album, Solid Gold Cadillac, his band personnel had
changed.
Tracks 3 & 4 are previously unissued performances.

QUINTESSENCE Spirits
From Another Time 1969-1971 Release date
27.05.16 HUX150 (2-CD)
This album is
Hux Records' 150th release and also our most ambitious project by far.
Quintessence was the last great 'underground' band of the 1960s. Formed
in March 1969, they were quickly signed to Island Records and later that
year released their debut album,
In Blissful Company. Between 1969-71, Quintessence, a counterculture
phenomenon, made three albums for Island Records.
Now, recently sourced from Island's multi-track tapes and digitised at
Abbey Road Studios, this packed 2CD set reveals a wealth of stunning,
hitherto unheard recordings in pristine studio sound.
The 24 page booklet, with an 11,000 word liner note by Colin Harper,
includes new interviews with the band's singer Phil 'Shiva' Jones,
guitarist Dave 'Maha Dev' Codling and the band's original producer John
Barham.

SKIP BATTIN
Skip Release date
26.02.16 HUX149
Skip Battin
is best remembered as the bass player in The Byrds, who he joined in
1969, proving a strong addition to the group’s line-up during their
later era.
With Skip in
the band, extensive touring over the years made The Byrds one of the
best live acts of the period.
By 1972, every member of The Byrds was poised to release solo albums. It
was Skip Battin (along with his writing partner Kim Fowley) whose
prolific output ensured that he was first off the mark.
Employing the talents of various Byrds and selected associates, Battin’s
debut solo album Skip, reissued here on remastered CD, boasted a
formidable list of participants including Roger McGuinn and Clarence
White. All the songs were composed by Battin & Fowley and sound like
extensions of the material the two had been producing for the Byrds.
After Roger McGuinn dismantled The Byrds in preparation for the brief
reunion of the original line-up, Battin went on to feature in
later-generation versions of the New Riders Of The Purple Sage and the
Flying Burrito Brothers
This CD booklet features extensive liner notes by Johnny Rogan.

including Harold Bradley, Pete Drake, Buddy Harman, 'Pig' Robbins, Bob
Moore and Charlie McCoy.

in the middle of Rodriguez' most successful recording period and both of
these LPs reached the top 10 in Billboard's Country Music chart.

CHRIS
SPEDDING Songs Without Words Release date 25.09.15 HUX147
Between 1969
and 1972, Chris Spedding was a rock guitarist whose unique sound, style
and musical literacy meant regular employment on the exploding British
progressive jazz and jazz-rock scene. Classic albums from the period by
Mike Westbrook, Michael Gibbs, Frank Ricotti, Jack Bruce and Nucleus all
feature the Spedding magic.
Just prior to
being voted ‘No.2 Guitarist’ behind John McLaughlin in Melody Maker’s
February 1970 jazz poll, Harvest Records asked Chris to make a jazz-rock
album under his own name. He did, but was unsure if this was the right
direction for him. The album was completed but shelved, at the artist’s
request.
Now, 45 years
on, re-edited by Chris Spedding and with a period bonus track, Songs
Without Words can at last take its place as a British jazz-rock classic.
This album, featuring the cream of the period’s jazz-rock musicians, has
been digitally re-mastered by Ron Geesin. The booklet features extensive
liner notes, rare photographs and full recording details.

CONNIE
SMITH Downtown Country/Connie in The Country Release date 13.07.15 HUX146
(2 on1 CD)Possibly the
best female country singer of all time, Connie Smith burst upon the
country music charts in 1964 and was rarely out of the charts over the
next ten years.
These two
albums were both released in 1967 and this is the first time that they
have been reissued on CD in this special ‘2on1' package.
Dolly Parton once said: "You know, there's really only three female
singers in the world: Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie
Smith. The rest of us are only pretending."
Connie Smith, a young wife and mother, was at her commercial peak when
she recorded The Hurtin's All Over, her eight consecutive top 10 hit,
just two years after making her debut in 1964 with the chart-topping
Once A Day. Now digitally remastered, these two LPs are finally reissued
together here on CD for the first time.

JIM
REEVES Songs Of Love/Nashville '78
Release date 13.07.15 HUX145 (2 on 1 CD)'Gentleman Jim'
Reeves was perhaps the biggest star to emerge from the Nashville country
music scene. His mellow baritone voice and velvet orchestration combined
to create a sound that echoed around the world and has lasted to this
day.
With these two
albums, now reissued on CD for the first time, you get the pure essence
of the magic of Gentleman Jim Reeves, with sensitive musical
arrangements, inspired choice of song material and one of the finest
voices to have ever graced country music and the famed Nashville
studios.
Jim Reeves was a true anomaly. He grew up in Texas in the 1920s and
'30s, but didn't sing western swing or Texas beer joint music. Instead,
he sang smooth and sweet country music and country-flavoured pop music,
thereby pioneering the Nashville Sound. 'Gentleman' Jim Reeves, the
crooner with the velvet voice, transcended his country music roots and
has continued to captivate fans worldwide, more than 50 years after
dying in a plane crash at the peak of his career. New arrangements have
been added to his recordings and now, digitally remastered, these two
albums from the late 1970s are reissued here on CD for the first time.

JOHNNY
RODRIGUEZ - Rodriguez/Through My Eyes Release date 13.07.15 HUX144
(2 on 1 CD)
Johnny Rodriguez was the first
successful Latin American country music singer, infusing his music with
Latin sounds, and even singing verses of songs in Spanish. Throughout
the 1970s and 1980s, he was one of country music’s biggest male stars,
recording a string of hit singles.
His songs are stories of the heart and of the spirit; they report from
the edge of heartbreak on a world of fevered intensity ... moody,
thoughtful and passionate. The two albums on this CD were originally
released in 1979 & 1980 and are now being reissued here together on CD
for the first time.
With his unique
writing ability, sincere way with a song and honest approach to country
music, Johnny Rodriguez emerged as one of the most important country
artists to hit Nashville in the early 1970s. When it comes to singing a
country song, hardly anyone does it better than he does. As you listen
to this pair of albums, you’ll hear how that formerly boyish voice had
toughened and become more mature. The songs selected are not only suited
to his voice, but to his world; the Southwest of dance halls, mesquite,
and barbecue, of car radios and outdoor dances.

TOMMY
OVERSTREET The Best Of Release date 16.02.15 HUX143
Tommy
Overstreet was one of country music's biggest stars in the 1970s and was
regularly featured on the Country charts throughout the decade. But when
he had his first hit, he was no newcomer. He'd been performing since his
early teens and had been a radio and TV regular in Oklahoma and Texas
since the mid-1950s.
Top 5 hits like Heaven is My Woman's Love, Gwen (Congratulations), and I
Don't Know You Anymore saw Overstreet push country music in a new, more
adult direction. This won him fans not only in America, but also in
Canada, Britain and much of Europe. Here, we gather together the cream
of his country hits as well as a selection of album tracks where Tommy
stamps his style on classics by Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers and Charlie
Rich.
Many of these tracks are issued here on CD for the first time. The
accompanying 16 page booklet includes photographs, extensive liner notes
and complete lyrics to every featured track.

REBA McENTIRE
Just A Little Love/ My Kind Of Country Release date 10.11.14 HUX142
Reba McEntire
currently stands as the most successful female country singer of all
time. Dolly Parton is arguably better-known, Patsy Cline was perhaps
more influential and Kitty Wells, Tammy Wynette and Shania Twain might
all stake a claim. But for sheer consistency, re-invention and overall
album sales, Reba McEntire remains way out in front.
In an astonishing run throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Reba sold over 33
miliion albums. During this period she released 22 number one hits and
released five gold albums, six platinum albums, two double-platinum
albums, four triple-platinum albums, a quadruple-platinum album, and a
quintuple-platinum album.
Reba's first album for MCA Records, 'Just A Little Love', was originally
released in 1984. This showcased a fuller, more varied sound than she'd
had previously. The following year saw her working with (Alabama
producer) Harold Shedd on her new album, 'My Kind Of Country', which
delved into Reba's own musical heritage.
Both albums are now reissued here together on CD for the first time. The
accompanying 16 page booklet includes photographs, extensive liner notes
and complete lyrics to every featured track.

HOWARD RILEY
TRIO Angle/ The Day Will Come Release date 10.11.14 HUX141Howard Riley
began playing piano at the age of 6 and was playing jazz by his early
teens.
His lengthy
career has seen him working with Jon Hiseman, John McLaughlin, the
London Jazz Composers Orchestra and Keith Tippett, amongst many others.

his work has broadened considerably to cover extensive solo piano, duos
and trios.
The two albums on this CD were originally released on CBS Records in
1969 and 1970. They are now being reissued as one disc, in agreement
with Howard Riley himself, who has always viewed these two records as
being part of one larger, complementary piece.
Now reissued together on one CD for the first time, these recordings
come with a CD booklet featuring full recording details, photographs and

JAMES
GRIFFIN Just Like Yesterday: The Solo Anthology 1974-77 Release date
08.04.13 HUX136
With his soulful 'Southern Rock' voice and fabulous guitar playing,
James Griffin was an integral element to the original sound of Bread.
Between 1969 & 1972 Bread released five albums of magical music.
Although David Gates became the member most widely associated with the
band's success, the recipe for Bread relied as much on the songs, vocals
and guitar playing of James Griffin.
Tending to provide Bread's albums with quirkier, harder-edged songs,
Griffin was nonetheless a master of exquisitely written ballads himself.
His two solo LPs of the 1970s - Breakin' Up Is Easy (1974) and James
Griffin (1977), the latter released only in Europe – are practically
buried treasure for devotees of Bread and the Bread 'sound'. Two songs –
'She Knows' and 'That's All I Need' – include the classic Bread line-up.
This anthology marks the first release anywhere of the second album on
CD, and adds two previously unreleased BBC live tracks from a 1974
recording of 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'.
Now reissued with the full approval of the James Griffin Estate and
digitally re-mastered from the original studio production tapes, this
anthology comes with a 12 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes,
photographs and full recording details.

MAC
DAVIS Hard To Be Humble: The Best Of
Release date 08.04.13 HUX135
At his commercial peak in the mid 1970s, Mac Davis was one of
America's most popular entertainers. As a superb singer and actor, he
found considerable success in both fields.
Throughout the late 1960s and into the 70s, Mac Davis enjoyed massive
success both as a singer and as a songwriter. In 1968, Elvis Presley
recorded Davis' 'A Little Less Conversation', and soon after, the King
was requesting more of his work. After notching a Top 40 hit with Davis'
'Memories', Presley reached the Top Five in 1969 with the songwriter's
'In the Ghetto'. Mac sings the latter two of these hits on this compilation.
As a singer in the 1970s, Mac Davis had a number 1 hit himself in the US
singles chart with 'Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me'. He also spent 16 weeks
in the UK charts with his witty hit single, 'It's Hard To Be Humble'.
Aside from Elvis Presley, Davis' songs have also been covered by Glen
Campbell, Kenny Rogers, Anthony Newley, Bobby Goldsboro and OC Smith. In
2006 Mac Davis was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.
This 'Best Of' compilation has been digitally re-mastered. The
accompanying 16 page booklet includes photographs, liner notes and full

THE
INCREDIBLE STRING BAND Live At Fillmore 1968
Release date 25.02.13 HUX137
Described as one of the most engaging groups to emerge from the
esoteric 1960s, The Incredible String Band was essentially the duo of
Mike Heron and Robin Williamson. Their sound was comprised of haunting
Celtic folk melodies augmented by a variety of Middle Eastern and Asian
instruments.
During the summer of 1968, The Incredible String Band played a
remarkable concert at the legendary Fillmore East venue in New York. The
concert was recorded by the venue’s sound desk.
This is a 24-bit re-master, approved by the band, taken from that
original 1968 concert tape.

In A New Dimension/ If The Whole World Stopped
Release date 25.02.13 HUX134 [2 on 1 CD]
As a crooner with a smooth, mellow baritone that led to him being dubbed
'The Perry Como of Country Music', Roy Drusky enjoyed a lengthy
recording career, releasing more than thirty albums, mainly in a smooth
pop-country style. As a fantastic international ambassador for country
music, he touched listeners with his smoothly executed vocals.
Roy Drusky was at his peak, vocally, in the mid-1960s when these two
albums were originally recorded and released. Now digitally re-mastered,
these two LPs are reissued here on CD together for the first time.
The LP, In 'A New Dimension' found him mixing country songs old and new
with current pop favourites, like a dramatic rendition of the Cilla
Black hit You're My World and the much-recorded Try To Remember, both of
which fit him like a glove. He'd made the country top ten with The World
Is Round, whilst Rainbows And Roses was also a hit.
The title track to 'If The Whole World Stopped Lovin' was of course a
massive UK pop hit for Irish balladeer Val Doonican.
The accompanying 16 page booklet features full recording details,
extensive liner notes and photographs plus full lyrics to every featured
track.

MICKEY JUPP
Shampoo, Haircut & Shave Release date 25.02.13 HUX133
Mickey Jupp was a champion of traditional rock & roll during the late
1970s, at a time when it had been all but discarded. Previously, his
band Legend had laid the groundwork for the British Pub Rock movement.
Jupp wrote the majority of his own material, which paid homage to 1950s
rock n roll and he is often cited as an influence on Nick Lowe, Dave
Edmunds, Dr Feelgood and many others.
Shampoo Haircut & Shave, originally issued in 1983, was Mickey
Jupp's fifth solo album, appearing as the follow-up to the previous
year's highly-regarded Some People Can't Dance.
Produced by Status Quo's Francis Rossi and featuring Mickey's classic
band of Ian Duck (guitar), Tex Comer (bass) and Paul Atkinson (drums),
this album displays Mickey's trademark Rock n Roll style.
Whilst he's been affectionately described as ‘the white Chuck Berry',
Mickey's refusal to be pigeon-holed or stereotyped has perhaps been one
of the things that has held his ‘career' in check
This album, now reissued with Mickey's approval, has been digitally
remastered and is released here on CD for the first ever time ever.

Alabama was the first country music supergroup. Their total album
sales topped 70 million, placing them among the top-five best-selling
country music acts of all time; and among the 20 best-selling recording
acts of all time in the United States.
These two albums, originally released in 1980 & '81, have now been
digitally remastered. The 12 page booklet includes extensive liner
notes, band photographs and full lyrics to
every song.
Two tracks featured here - Tennessee River and Why Lady Why - were the
band' s first two number one hits, and laid the foundation for what
became one of the most impressive popularity runs in country music
history.
Alabama retired from the road after a sold-out 2003-2004 Farewell Tour.
For more than twenty-five years the four-man band had stood tall as the
pre-eminent American country-rock band. Alabama's sales history and list
of awards and accomplishments in its 25-year history are staggering. In
2005 they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, a much

THE KENDALLS
Two Heart Harmony/Thank God For The Radio Release date 25.09.12
HUX131 [2 on 1 CD]
The father and daughter duo of The
Kendalls created a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary Country
music, sparked by Jeannie' s soaring, sensuous vocals.
Her voice, a
high lonesome honky-tonk, has a beautiful range that drips pure emotion.
The time is now ripe for the rediscovery of The Kendalls' distinctive
sound, with the reissue of these two albums.
Jeannie' s voice is given full-throttle on such classic cheating songs
as Teach Me To Cheat and the sensual Take Me To Heaven (Before You Take
Me Home).
There' s a fine
revival of the country-soul classic The Dark End Of the Street, full of
dark irony, heartache and winsome charm. And they take a positive stab
at Arthur Crudup' s My Baby Left Me, which is quite different to the
Elvis Presley version. And Merle Haggard' s Somewhere Between turns out
to be a perfect fit for Jeannie' s voice.
These long forgotten and often overlooked recordings are a stellar
example of pure true-to-the-roots country music.
These two LPs, originally released in 1985, have now been re-mastered
and are reissued here together on CD for the first time.

BILL ANDERSON
From This Pen / Get While The Gettin's Good
Release date 21.5.12 HUX130 2 on 1 CD
Bill Anderson is one of the most remarkable artists in country music
history. In the 1960s, he scored nineteen top ten chart entries
which included five number one singles, most of which were Anderson
originals. Four of these number ones also featured on the American pop
charts, notably Anderson's signature song 'Still' (featured here) which
peaked at 8 on the Hot 100.
Particularly noted for his hit songwriting, almost every song on this CD
was a chart entry either for Anderson or another act. The opening track,
'Saginaw, Michigan', was a #1 hit for country icon Lefty Frizzell.
Anderson has had his songs successfully covered by countless artists,
including Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Jim Reeves, Connie Smith and,
perhaps surprisingly, Ken Dodd ('Happiness').
These two LPs, originally released in 1965 & '67, are now reissued here

the so-called 'Outlaw' scene, along with Waylon Jennings and Willie
Nelson.
The Tompalls were heavily championed by Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins
and sang harmonies on Robbins' epic 'Gunfighter Ballads' LPs.
Their hallmark sound was a masterpiece of country-pop production,
possessing a rich blend of folk storytelling, country melody and superb
three-part harmonies.
Their two classic albums, 'The Award Winners' and 'Rings And Things',

DON WILLIAMS
Volume One / Volume Two

Don Williams is one of the most original and gifted talents in the
annals of American country music. During the 1970s, throughout the
1980s, and into the early 1990s, Williams had one of the longest hit
streaks ever in country music, including 17 No.1s, and 28 others in the
top 10.
For over twenty years, Don Williams was a near fixture on the American
country charts, with such songs as You're My Best Friend, Some Broken
Hearts Never Mend, Tulsa Time, Good Ole Boys Like Me and the
pop-crossover I Believe In You.
But the real starting point of the Don Williams legend was the creation
of these two solo albums in 1972-1973.
Now digitally remastered, these two LPs are reissued here on one CD. The
accompanying 12 page booklet includes photos, extensive liner notes and
full lyrics to every featured track.
It is Williams' ability to write, perform and record songs which have a
universal appeal that has made him such a true international star. And
in 2010 he was deservedly inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Several of today's Nashville newcomers, such as Josh Turner, Brad
Paisley, and Alan Jackson, have all cited Don Williams as being a big
influence on their own music.

of the most successful in the history of country music.
Now reissued on CD for the first time, these two LPs were originally

Kitty Wells broke down the doors for female country singers, paving the
way for artists like Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn. After

THE SLITS The
John Peel Sessions
Release date: 18 April (HUX123)
The Slits formed in 1976, when 14-year-old Ari Up recruited her friends
Tessa, Viv and Palmolive to form a new all-girl punk band, with Ari on
vocals.
The following year, they supported The Clash during their UK tour.
Still without a record contract, the Slits then recorded two sessions
for John Peel, in 1977 and 1978. Later, after their period with Island
Records, they recorded one final Peel session in 1981.
The Slits' BBC sessions have long been celebrated as favourites of John
Peel's, and it is easy to hear why. In fact, the band's debut session
was always hailed by Peel as "one of our first classic sessions".
These first two sessions explode with vibrant punk energy, aggression
and wit. The third session, recorded just months before the band split,
also pulsates with colour and life, but points clearly to the direction
in which they were heading and the areas they were exploring - dub,
funk, free improvisation, African music and hip-hop.
Last year, just a few months before her sad passing, Ari Up granted
approval to Hux for the release of the complete Peel session recordings.
This compilation includes all three sessions, plus one previously
unreleased bonus track, recorded by the band on a reunion tour in 2006.
This limited edition digipack has a 16 page booklet featuring extensive
liner notes and photos.

QUINTESSENCE
Rebirth Live At Glastonbury 2010
Release date: 28 March 2011 (HUX122)
As one of the great British live
groups of the hippy era, Quintessence was the very first band to play at
the very first Glastonbury Festival in 1970.
Incredibly, 40 years after that Glastonbury debut, a reborn version of
Quintessence was invited back to the festival by event organiser,
Michael Eavis.
Fronted for this one night only by original vocalist Shiva Jones,
original guitarist Maha Dev’s Quintessence reforge with added horsepower
the sound of the British underground.
Mixed from digital multi-track by their legendary Island-era producer
John Barham, here are the highlights of that performance along with new
studio pieces.
Rebirth is an album to sit proudly alongside their trilogy of 1969-71
Island Records releases.
The 16 page full colour booklet includes extensive liner notes along
with reminiscences from Shiva Jones, Maha Dev and John Barham.

SHIVA'S
QUINTESSENCE Only Love Can Save Us
Release date: 28 March 2011 (HUX121)
Shiva Jones was the iconic vocalist with Island Records' supergroup
Quintessence during their mercurial 1969-72 reign.
Although periodically active in new musical ventures in both Australia
and the US during subsequent decades, he made no commercially released
recordings and had left the Quintessence repertoire frozen in time.
Then, 35 years later, Shiva recruited some of his favourite musicians,
including original Quintessence guitarist Maha Dev and Swiss keyboard
wizard Rudra Beauvert, to collaborate on a series of remarkably fresh
studio recordings featuring old Quintessence favourites along with some
wholly new material.
Here, remastered from the original mixes, and with a track listing
personally selected by Shiva, is the very best of these recordings.
The accompanying booklet includes liner notes by Shiva Jones and Rudra
Beauvert.
